Objectives This study was designed to a) document the efficacy of a device intended conserve blood in critically ill patients; b) determine effect this conservation on hemoglobin concentration and need for transfusions; c) if resulted interference with arterial pressure waveforms; d) use difference number accidental needle punctures suffered by healthcare workers. Design Prospective, randomized, controlled trial. A clinical trial using prospective, random allocation consecutive eligible...
Abstract The utility of capnography to detect early respiratory compromise in surgical patients after anesthesia is unclear due limited prospective data. purpose this trial was determine the frequency and duration capnography-detected adverse events post-anesthesia care unit (PACU). In observational trial, 250 consenting undergoing elective surgery with general were monitored by standard monitoring together blinded pulse oximetry monitoring. notification settings adjusted match nursing...
Improvements in cardiac surgery techniques and anesthetic management have given us cause to re-evaluate the necessity for postoperative mechanical ventilation delayed extubation after open-heart with inhalational anesthesia. One hundred consecutive patients undergoing various types of were entered into this study; 94 met requirements spontaneous immediate time period was not utilized. Of these patients, 40 (45%) within 90 min subsequently ex-tubated. No patient required reintubation. Six...
The effects of intravenous nitroglycerin (NTG) upon the bleeding time, platelet aggregation response, and plasma 6-keto-PGF1α concentration were measured in 17 patients about to undergo coronary bypass grafting. NTG produced a dose-related prolongation time that correlated with accompanying decrease systolic blood pressure. Platelet was not affected measurements Failed reveal detectable levels (< 10 pg/ml) either before or after infusion. This suggests prolonged associated infusion may be...
Received from the Department of Anesthesiology, The University Arizona, Tucson, Arizona.HYPOTENSION is a risk when therapy with tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) administered. 1Severe hypotension rare therapeutic doses TCAs; however, severe may occur during overdose. 2The in patients to whom TCAs are administered and who undergo general anesthesia seems be low. A literature search yielded only single case report English language, describing significant after induction patient undergoing TCA...
For decades it was assumed that cuffed endotracheal tubes prevented aspiration. However, currently used do not prevent the development of post-intubation pulmonary complications caused by microaspiration [1,2]. A new taper-shaped tube (TaperGuard (TG)) has recently been introduced. The aim this study to compare with a traditional (Hi-Lo (HL)) in an aspiration pig model.
Objectives To compare microbial contamination of two different blood conservation devices; to determine if there was an association between the devices and clinical infections; a significant user preference for either devices. Design Prospective, randomized trial. Setting Medical, neurosurgical, spinal cord intensive care units urban, university hospital. Patients Forty patients who required clinically indicated intra-arterial catheters placed at new sites. Interventions The most widely...
