Abstract Platelet‐leukocyte gel (PLG) contains high concentrations of platelets and leukocytes. As leukocytes play an important role in the innate host‐defense, we hypothesized that PLG might have antimicrobial properties. This study investigated activity against Staphylococcus aureus contribution myeloperoxidase (MPO), present leukocytes, this process. Platelet‐rich plasma (PRP) platelet‐poor (PPP) were obtained from whole blood six donors. was prepared by mixing PRP with autologous...
Background: In this study, three commercial systems for the preparation of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) were compared and platelet growth factors release was measured.Methods: Ten healthy volunteers donated whole blood that fractionated by a cell separator, table-top centrifuge to prepare PRP. Furthermore, an autologous factor filter used concentrate PRP separator. subsequently activated with autologously produced thrombin degranulate platelets measure platelet-derived factor-AB (PDGF-AB),...
<i>Background:</i> Platelet-leukocyte gel (PLG) is being used during various surgical procedures in an attempt to enhance the healing process. We studied effects of PLG on postoperative recovery patients undergoing open subacromial decompression (OSD). <i>Methods:</i> was produced from platelet-leukocyte-rich plasma (P-LRP), prepared a unit whole blood. Forty were included study. Self-assessed evaluations, using American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons scoring system...
Many manufacturers are producing videolaryngoscopes (VLSs) with differing specifications, user interfaces, and geometry. It is clinically relevant to know the relative performance of blades. Visualization glottis intubation often problematic in (extremely) obese patients, new video technology may offer better functionality performance. Although many tracheal intubations direct laryngoscopy performed an unstyletted endotracheal tube, it recommended use a stylet for using videolaryngoscopy. In...
How general anesthetics work remains a topic of ongoing study. A parallel field research has sought to identify methods reverse anesthesia. Reversal agents could shorten patients’ recovery time and potentially reduce the risk postoperative complications. An incomplete understanding mechanisms anesthesia hampered pursuit for reversal agents. Nevertheless, search furthered underlying The study potential highlighted importance rigorous criteria assess from in animal models, helped key arousal...
Correct placement of supraglottic airway devices (SGDs) is crucial for patient safety and prime concern anesthesiologists who want to provide effective efficient management their patients undergoing surgery or procedures requiring anesthesia care. In the majority cases, blind insertion SGDs results in less-than-optimal anatomical functional positioning devices. Malpositioning can cause clinical malfunction result interference with gas exchange, loss-of-airway, gastric inflation, aspiration...
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is often associated with a considerable amount of post-operative blood loss, necessitating the transfusion allogeneic blood, which can add to complications. Optimization strategies reduce need for desired. This study was designed evaluate efficacy autologous platelet gel and fibrin sealant in unilateral TKA.Consecutive patients were operated on assigned control groups. Study group (n = 85) according our standard TKA protocol, application wound tissues at end...
summary Three commercial systems for whole blood separation were compared to obtain the buffy coat composed of platelet‐rich plasma (BC‐PRP) and leucocytes . These samples used make a platelet gel (PG), which was measure growth factor (PGF) release, perform white cell (WBC) count myeloperoxidase (MPO) release from WBCs. Aliquots obtained ten volunteers distributed either separator (The Electa Cell‐Separator™, E‐CS) or tabletop centrifuge (Gravitational Platelet Sequestration System™, GPS)...
BACKGROUND: Although most tracheal intubations with direct laryngoscopy are not performed a styletted endotracheal tube, it is recommended that stylet can be used indirect videolaryngoscopy. Recently, there were several reports of complications associated tubes and In this study, we compared three videolaryngoscopes (VLSs) in patients undergoing intubation for elective surgery: the GlideScope® Ranger™ (GlideScope, Bothell, WA), V-MAC™ Storz® Berci DCI® (Karl Storz, Tuttlingen, Germany),...
Transfusion of red blood cells (RBC) and other products in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is associated with increased mortality morbidity. We retrospectively analyzed data who underwent an isolated graft operation between January 1998 December 2007. Mean follow-up was 1696+/-1026 days, exclusion 122 lost to 80 received 10 units RBC. Of the remaining patients, 8001 (76.7%) no RBC, 1621 (15.2%) 1-2 593 (5.7%) 3-5 220 (2.1%) 6-10 units. The number transfused RBC a...
Videolaryngoscopy is often reserved for ‘anticipated’ difficult airways, but thereby can result in a higher overall rate of complications. We observed 65 anaesthetists, 67 residents anaesthesia, 56 paramedics and medical students, intubating the trachea standardised manikin model with normal airway using seven devices: Macintosh classic laryngoscope, Airtraq®, Storz C-MAC®, Coopdech VLP-100®, C-MAC D-Blade®, GlideScope Cobalt®, McGrath Series5® Pentax AWS®) random order.
