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)

“Hemodynamic Monitoring In The Cardiac Surgical Patient: Comparison of Three Arterial Catheters.”
Systemic systolic (SAP) and mean (MAP) arterial pressure monitoring is the cornerstone in hemodynamic management of the cardiac surgical patient and the radial artery is the most common site of catheter placement. The present study compares three different arterial line procedures. It is hypothesized that a 20-G 12.7cm catheter inserted in the radial artery will be equal to 20-G 12.7cm angiocath placed in the brachial artery, and superior to a 20-G 5.0cm angiocath placed in the radial artery.

Heparin vs Saline Infusion to Maintain Patency of Arterial Catheters in Children: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Noninferiority Trial
CONCLUSIONS: Our data suggests that normal saline is noninferior to heparinized saline infusion in maintaining the patency of arterial lines in children. This may benefit clinicians worldwide as normal saline would be a safer and cost-effective option.PMID:38217267 (Source: Indian Pediatrics)

Intraosseous pressure measurement during iliac bone marrow biopsy: its feasibility and difference of IOP in diseased marrow and non-diseased marrow
ConclusionThere was no difference in IOP measurements between patients with normal and diseased marrow undergoing CT-guided biopsy. IOP does not appear to be influenced by systemic blood pressure. No complication occurred during the procedures. (Source: Skeletal Radiology)
