Inadvertent strangulation of inflation line of the pilot balloon during submental endotracheal intubation: a rare compli...
Published in Journal of clinical monitoring and computing
Submental intubation is the preferred type of intubation in patients with complex maxillofacial fractures where oral or nasal intubation cannot be performed. It is also less invasive than tracheostomy in securing the airways. We report a case where an inadvertent strangulation of inflation line of the pilot balloon resulted in inadequate ventilatio...
Patterns in continuous pulse oximetry data prior to pulseless electrical activity arrest in the general care setting.
Published in Journal of clinical monitoring and computing
The study objective was to understand if features derived from continuous pulse oximetry data can provide advanced warning of pulseless electrical activity arrest in the general care inpatient setting. Retrospective analysis of SpO2 and pulse rate data derived from continuous pulse oximetry was performed for pulseless electrical activity (n = 38) a...
Effect of ketamine on the NeuroSENSE WAVCNS during propofol anesthesia; a randomized feasibility trial.
Published in Journal of clinical monitoring and computing
Dose-dependent effects of ketamine on processed electroencephalographic depth-of-hypnosis indices have been reported. Limited data are available for the NeuroSENSE WAVCNS index. Our aim was to establish the feasibility of closed-loop propofol-remifentanil anesthesia guided by the WAVCNS index in the presence of an analgesic dose of ketamine. Thirty...
Indocyanine green dye clearance test: early graft (dys)-function and long-term mortality after liver transplant. Should ...
...Published in Journal of clinical monitoring and computing
Early allograft dysfunction (EAD) can be a serious complication in the immediate postoperative period following liver transplantation. Our aim was to study the prognostic role of the indocyanine green plasma disappearance rate (ICG-PDR) in predicting early and late EAD and mortality at 3 and 12 months and 5 years after liver transplantation. ICG-PD...
Association between intraoperative nociception and surgical invasiveness in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery unde...
Published in Journal of clinical monitoring and computing
There are several indexes of intraoperative nociception during surgery under general anesthesia. Although a higher degree of surgical invasiveness increases intraoperative nociception, an association between the index of intraoperative nociception and severity of surgical invasiveness has not been reported. We hypothesized that there is association...
A comparison of the quality of image acquisition between two different sidestream dark field video-microscopes.
Published in Journal of clinical monitoring and computing
Sidestream dark field (SDF) imaging enables direct visualisation of the microvasculature from which quantification of key variables is possible. The new MicroScan USB3 (MS-U) video-microscope is a hand-held SDF device that has undergone significant technical upgrades from its predecessor, the MicroScan Analogue (MS-A). The MS-U claims superior qual...
Usability study of a new tool for nutritional and glycemic management in adult intensive care: Glucosafe 2.
Published in Journal of clinical monitoring and computing
The new decision support tool Glucosafe 2 (GS2) is based on a mathematical model of glucose and insulin dynamics, designed to assist caregivers in blood glucose control and nutrition. This study aims to assess end-user acceptance and usability of this bedside decision support tool in an adult intensive care setting. Caregivers were first trained an...
Effects of intraoperative positive end-expiratory pressure optimization on respiratory mechanics and the inflammatory re...
...Published in Journal of clinical monitoring and computing
Applying lung protective mechanical ventilation (LPV) during general anaesthesia even in patients with non-injured lungs is recommended. However, the effects of an individual PEEP-optimisation on respiratory mechanics, oxygenation and their potential correlation with the inflammatory response and postoperative complications have not been evaluated ...
A new approach to complicated and noisy physiological waveforms analysis: peripheral venous pressure waveform as an exam...
Published in Journal of clinical monitoring and computing
We introduce a recently developed nonlinear-type time-frequency analysis tool, synchrosqueezing transform (SST), to quantify complicated and noisy physiological waveform that has time-varying amplitude and frequency. We apply it to analyze a peripheral venous pressure (PVP) signal recorded during a seven hours aortic valve replacement procedure. In...
