Evaluation of the ShuntCheck noninvasive thermal technique for shunt flow detection in hydrocephalic patients.
BACKGROUND ShuntCheck (Neuro Diagnostic Devices, Inc., Trevose, Pennsylvania) is a new device designed to detect cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow in a shunt by sensing skin temperature downstream from a region of CSF cooled by an ice cube. OBJECTIVE To understand its accuracy and utility, we evaluated the use of this device during routine office visits as well as during workup for suspected shu...
متن کاملPredicting the success of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation in emergency room for patients with acute heart failure.
BACKGROUND Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) for acute heart failure (AHF) is increasingly used to avoid endotracheal intubation (ETI). We therefore reviewed our experience using respirator management in the emergency room for AHF, and evaluated the predictive factors in the success of NPPV in the emergency room. METHODS AND RESULTS Three-hundred forty-three patients with AHF ...
متن کاملThe use of a noninvasive hemoglobin monitor for volume kinetic analysis in an emergency room setting.
BACKGROUND Distribution and clearance of an infused bolus can be studied by repetitive sampling of invasive total hemoglobin (tHb) using volume kinetic equations. Pulse CO-oximetry, a recent advancement in patient monitoring that allows for the continuous and noninvasive estimation of hemoglobin concentration (SpHb), would greatly facilitate the scientific and clinical use of the volume kinetic...
