Sensors, Vol. 24, Pages 2189: Mechanistic Assessment of Cardiovascular State Informed by Vibroacoustic Sensors
arian Monitoring blood pressure, a parameter closely related to cardiovascular activity, can help predict imminent cardiovascular events. In this paper, a novel method is proposed to customize an existing mechanistic model of the cardiovascular system through feature extraction from cardiopulmonary acoustic signals to estimate blood pressure using artificial intelligence. As various factors, such as drug consumption, can alter the biomechanical properties of the cardiovascular system, the proposed method seeks to personalize the mechanistic model using information extracted from vibroacoustic sensors. Simulation result...

Treatment Options for Radial Artery Pseudoaneurysms
Radial artery pseudoaneurysms (RA-PSA) are rare complications after catheterization of the radial artery (for the purpose of arterial line monitoring, or for coronary and peripheral angiography). Because of its infrequent occurrence, the optimal management of this complication is not well defined. (Source: Journal of Vascular Surgery)

A novel approach to retrograde autologous priming for infant, pediatric and adult populations undergoing congenital heart surgery
CONCLUSION: This RAP technique is a safe and effective way to achieve a standardized asanguinous prime for many regardless of patient or circuit size in the absence of contraindications such as low starting hematocrit, emergency surgery or physiologic instability. Most importantly, this potentially reduces the amount of hemodilution patients see from CPB initiation and therefore the lowest nadir hematocrit and consequently the amount of required homologous blood products needed during surgery.PMID:38498943 | DOI:10.1177/02676591241239820 (Source: Perfusion)

The prediction of estimated cerebral perfusion pressure with trans-systolic time in preterm and term infants
Conclusion: TST in neonates significantly correlated with CPPe, but not with CrCP. TST may be a good predictor of cerebral perfusion and potentially have wider clinical applications.What is Known:• Trans-systolic time (TST) is used in evaluating the effects of increased intracranial pressure on cerebral haemodynamics. However, little is known about the efficacy of TST in predicting neonatal cerebral perfusion pressure.What is New:• This study added evidence that TST correlated with estimated cerebral perfusion pressure, but not with critical closing pressure. Additionally, we showed the normative reference values of ...

Validity and reliability of measurement of peripheral oxygen saturation during the 6-Minute Walk Test in patients with systemic sclerosis
AbstractPeripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) using the fingers may have important limitations due to Raynaud ’s phenomenon and sclerodactyly in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). Sensors located at more central body positions may be more accurate as these as less prone to Raynaud attacks. To determine the validity and reliability of the SpO2 measured at the finger, forehead, and earlobe during the 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT). Eighty two patients with SSc had an arterial line placed while performing the 6MWT. Peripheral oxygen saturation was simultaneously measured by finger, forehead, and earlobe sensors and compared t...

The effect of air-free administration of intravenous drugs on microemboli during cardiopulmonary bypass
CONCLUSIONS: A wide spread of GME generation during perfusion was present with no difference in generation of GME between groups. Lower GME load observed in patients (intervention group) and examples of air introduction during drug administration suggest that air introduced by anesthesia contributes to the GME load during CPB. Scavenging properties of the CPB circuit contribute very much to patient safety regarding reduction of venous air. Awareness and education create the possibilities for further reduction of GME during cardiopulmonary bypass.PMID:38420972 | DOI:10.1177/02676591241236892 (Source: Perfusion)
