Both age and gender influence cardiovascular autonomic control, which in turn may the ability to withstand adverse cardiac events respond orthostatic stress. The purpose of this study was (1) quantify age- gender- related alterations control blood pressure (BP) (2) examine impact these on BP response We measured continuous R-R intervals vasoactive peptide levels supine 60 degrees head-up tilt positions during paced respiration (0.25 Hz) 89 carefully screened healthy subjects (41 men, 48...
Methemoglobinemia is a rare but serious disorder, defined as an increase in oxidized hemoglobin resulting reduction of oxygen-carrying capacity. Although methemoglobinemia known complication topical anesthetic use, few data exist on the incidence and risk factors for this potentially life-threatening disorder.To examine procedure-related to identify patient populations at high complication.Retrospective study academic research setting.Medical records all patients diagnosed having during...
Appropriate monitoring during sedation has been recognized as vital to patient safety in procedures outside of the operating room. Capnography can identify hypoventilation prior hypoxemia; however, it is not clear whether addition capnography improves or cost effective routine colonoscopy, a high volume, low-risk procedure. Our aim was evaluate value EtCO2 colonoscopy with moderate sedation.We conducted prospective study and satisfaction before after introduction outpatient midazolam...
Adverse discharge disposition, which is to a long-term nursing home or skilled facility frequent and devastating in older patients after lower-extremity orthopaedic surgery. Predicting individual patient risk allows for preventive interventions address modifiable factors helps managing expectations. Despite variety of prediction tools perioperative morbidity patients, there no tool available predict successful recovery patient's ability live independently this highly vulnerable population.In...
Background: Moderate sedation has been standard for noninvasive gastrointestinal procedures decades yet there are limited data on reversal agent use and outcomes associated with need of sedation. Aim: To determine prevalence clinical significance during endoscopies colonoscopies. Methods: Individuals adverse events requiring naloxone and/or flumazenil endoscopy or colonoscopy from 2008 to 2013 were identified. A control group was obtained by random selection patients matched procedure type...
