The use of the iSTAT portable analyzer in patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypassJournal of Clinical Monitoring and Computing - Tập 12 - Trang 311-315 - 1996
Neil Roy Connelly, Michael Magee, Brian Kiessling
Objective. To evaluate the utility of the iSTAT blood analyzer, a bedside device for hematocrit, sodium, potassium, and glucose measurement during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).Methods. Forty patients scheduled for elective CPB were evaluated prospectively. In addition to using the iSTAT analyzer, blood samples were analyzed at four time points: following induction of anesthetic, 1...... hiện toàn bộ

Currently, there are plenty of videolaryngoscopes that appear on the market. They have different specifications. Some of these features favor the fact that they are more suited for educational purposes of future operators and others can be characterized with an excellent clinical use. In this study we compared four types of videolaryngoscopes. The aim of the study was to compare the technical spec...... hiện toàn bộ

Numerous studies have shown that blindly inserted supraglottic airway devices (SADs) are sub-optimally placed in 50 to 80% of all cases. Placement under direct vision has been recommended. We describe the very first two new SADs of the third generation that incorporate a videoscope with flexible tip. Both devices are made up of two interlocking components—the SAD and a videoscope. The 3rd generati...... hiện toàn bộ
Electroencephalographic evoked pain response is suppressed by spinal cord stimulation in complex regional pain syndrome: a case reportJournal of Clinical Monitoring and Computing - Tập 30 - Trang 845-848 - 2015

Pain is a subjective response that limits assessment. The purpose of this case report was to explore how the objectivity of the electroencephalographic response to thermal stimuli would be affected by concurrent spinal cord stimulation. A patient had been implanted with a spinal cord stimulator for the management of complex regional pain syndrome of both hands for 8 years. Following ethical approv...... hiện toàn bộ
Measuring venous oxygenation using the photoplethysmograph waveformJournal of Clinical Monitoring and Computing - Tập 24 - Trang 295-303 - 2010
Zachary D. Walton, Panayiotis A. Kyriacou, David G. Silverman, Kirk H. Shelley
Objective. We investigate the hypothesis that the photoplethysmograph (PPG) waveform can be analyzed to infer regional venous oxygen saturation. Methods. Fundamental to the successful isolation of the venous saturation is the identification of PPG characteristics that are unique to the peripheral venous system. Two such characteristics have been identified. First, the peripheral venous waveform te...... hiện toàn bộ
