Better ventilator settings using a computerized clinical tool.
BACKGROUND The Acute Respiratory Distress Syndome (ARDS) Network low tidal volume (VT) trial paved the ground for mechanically ventilating ARDS patients with a VT of 6 mL/kg ideal body weight (IBW). Although there is no consensus that a low VT is advantageous in non-ARDS patients,it is accepted that high VT should be avoided. Because compliance rates with ventilator recommendations are 30%, the...
متن کاملBetter Data From Better Measurements Using Computerized Adaptive Testing
The process of constructing a fixed-length conventional test frequently focuses on maximizing internal consistency reliability by selecting test items that are of average difficulty and high discrimination (a “peaked” test). The effect of constructing such a test, when viewed from the perspective of item response theory, is test scores that are precise for examinees whose trait levels are near ...

The main attributes of usability that are derived from the human factors are and used in usability design of the interfaces Include: compatibility, consistency, flexibility, minimal action, perceptual limitation, usefulness, learnability, ease of u...
متن کاملVentilator settings for newborn infants.
The selection of appropriate mechanical ventilator settings for newborn infants is a controversial topic. The purpose of this review is to summarise the origins of the controversy and then to concentrate on the interaction between ventilator variables and the pathophysiology of the lung. As lung mechanics differ widely in different diseases we argue that careful consideration must be given to t...
متن کاملa comparison of radiographic film densitometry using a new computerized tool with a digital densitometer
objectives: the purpose of this study was to develop and test a new tool for radiographic densitometry by combining periapical films and aluminum step wedge. materials and methods: we reviewed 50 kodak e-speed intraoral films. an aluminum step wedge consisting of 16 steps was constructed. each step was 1mmx3mx10mm. the step wedge was exposed to varying exposure times, ranging from 0.05 second t...
