Cognitive and physical difficulties are common in survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA); both close family members also at risk developing mood disorders. In the UK, dedicated follow-up pathways for OHCA their lacking. A cohort were surveyed regarding experience post-discharge care recommended improvements.123 39 completed questionnaires during an educational event or later online. Questions addressed actual offered perceived requirements optimal from patient perspective,...
Current measures of health-related quality life are neither sufficiently sensitive or specific to capture the complex and heterogenous nature recovery survivorship associated with cardiac arrest. To address this critical practice gap, we plan a mixed-methods study co-produce evaluate new arrest-specific patient/survivor-reported outcome measure (PROM).
Audits of antibiotic prescribing were done for periods up to eight weeks in two successive years on medical, surgical, orthopaedic, gynaecology, obstetric, and urology wards an accident emergency department. Clinical details matched with prescribing, the appropriateness latter was judged independently by medical microbiologists. Only when they agreed individual prescription included analysis. Overall, 28% prescriptions 1979 35% 1980 as unnecessary, 17% 16%, respectively, being inappropriate...
This paper presents an experimental evaluation of the defective patch repairs solid laminated composites. The study uses both destructive and nondestructive tests on full-scale repaired panels to evaluate repair performance under static tension loading conditions. While most reported studies use small coupon specimens, this test results that allow strain field monitoring around patch. presented in are baseline for more advanced severe conditions (fatigue) is underway by authors. performed...
More than 300 000 procedures are performed in cardiac catheter laboratories the UK each year. The variety and complexity of percutaneous cardiovascular have both increased substantially since early days invasive cardiology, when it was largely focused on elective coronary angiography single chamber (right ventricular) permanent pacemaker implantation. Modern-day cardiology encompasses primary intervention, resynchronisation therapy, complex arrhythmia ablation structural heart interventions....
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) started a research program in structural health monitoring (SHM) 2011. program's goal was to understand the technical gaps of implementing SHM on commercial aircraft and potential effects FAA regulations guidance. evolved into demonstration consisting team from Sandia National Labs Airworthiness Assurance NDI Center (AANC), Boeing Corporation, Delta Air Lines, Structural Monitoring Systems (SMS), Anodyne Electronics Manufacturing Corp (AEM) FAA. This...
The paper presents a detection sensitivity analysis for novel approach to monitoring fatigue crack growth. A carbon nanotube (CNT) sensor was used based on potential drop (PD) damage strategy. Resistive CNT film laminated between impermeable membranes create durable gauge that can resist high strain levels, temperatures and submersion in water. Any growth below the would disrupt electrical entanglement, therefore increasing network resistance. As opposed traditional gauges with discretized...
The FAA’s Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) research program is integral in the regulatory policy and guidance development for implementation of SHM civil aircraft. It also assists Emerging Technology Research numerous test scenarios. Various technologies get real structure testing provide FAA with inspection results. Further, team participates SAE Aerospace Industry Steering Committee (AISC) SHM. This paper will a brief history its assistance certification use. results from one programs at...
This work describes the comparison of laboratory guided wave (GW) structural health monitoring (SHM) data and simulated GW for an aluminum fuselage section undergoing testing at FAA. The test set up consists 12 piezoelectric wafer transducers which are each actuated individually. Data is then collected from non-actuated sensor. structure tested was panel two bays that panel. simulations were completed using a custom code implementing elastodynamic finite integration technique to model SHM...
Reliable structural health monitoring (SHM) systems can automatically process data, assess condition and signal the need for human intervention. There is a significant formal SHM technology validation quantitative performance assessment processes to uniformly comprehensively support evolution adoption of systems. In recent years, community has made advances in its efforts evolve statistical methods analyzing data from in-situ sensors. Several approaches have been demonstrated using real...
Monitoring of actual aircraft structural usage and loads would enhance rotorcraft safety while enabling reduced operating costs via usage-based maintenance (UBM) credits. While flight regime recognition (RR) algorithms have been demonstrated, they not fully validated, regime-based UBM credits remain elusive due to both technical certification challenges. This paper describes a viable method, which was developed by Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation under an R&D effort funded the Federal...
The use of in-situ sensors for real-time health monitoring a wide array civil structures can be viable option to overcome inspection impediments stemming from accessibility limitations, complex geometries, and the location depth hidden damage. maturity Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) has evolved point where many networks have demonstrated sensitivities that meet or exceed current damage detection requirements. As result, there is growing need well-defined methods statistically quantify...
There are many Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) manufacturers who have systems at various technology readiness levels (TRL) being tested by both the civil and military communities. Many of these original equipment (OEMS) feel their ready to be used aviation industry. The reliability assessment approach detailed in MIL-HDBK-1823A is universally accepted for nondestructive evaluation. However, manner which it applied SHM question because subtle but fundamental differences implementation...
