Acute brain injury (ABI) increases morbidity and mortality in patients with veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO). Optimal neurologic monitoring methods have not been well-explicated. We studied the use of Near-infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) to monitor cerebral regional tissue saturation (rSO2) its relation ABI VA-ECMO. In this prospective, observational cohort study 39 consecutive patients, we analyzed ability rSO2 values from continuous bedside NIRS predict during...
Introduction: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a life-saving therapy for those in cardiopulmonary failure, including post-cardiac arrest. Despite high volume of ECMO patients using anti-seizure medication, there paucity data concerning the dosing, levels, and clinical scenarios their use. Case Report: We present three cases post-PEA arrest who were on valproic acid (VPA) treatment seizure and/or myoclonus. The total free levels VPA are reported. Discussion: trough consistent...
Purpose In light of highly publicized media coverage on breast implant recalls and Food Drug Administration hearings safety, online searches these topics have surged. It is thus critical to determine whether such are providing meaningful information for those who use them. Patient/laywomen-directed education materials implant–associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) must not only be comprehensible but also accurate, actionable, culturally concordant, especially as more diverse...
The pandemic of SARS-CoV-2 has led to unprecedented changes society, causing unique problems that call for extraordinary solutions. We consider one such proposal: ‘safer infection sites’ would offer individuals the opportunity be intentionally infected with SARS-CoV-2, isolate, and receive medical care until they are no longer infectious. Safer could have value various groups workers students. Health professionals place themselves at risk daily extend this their family members community....
