Spinal-cardiac crosstalk

Reduction of Crosstalk in the Measurement of Lumbar Spinal Motion

Spinal anaesthesia and cardiac disease.

by careful incremental dosage, the block can be instituted with minimal cardiovascular disturbance. This is precisely what you cannot do with spinal anaesthesia. In a patient with limited cardiac output and pulmonary oedema, the circulation is being supported by endogenous catecholamines. The rapid onset of spinal blockade is extremely likely to result in hypotension. Pulmonary oedema will be e...

Cardiac dysfunctions following spinal cord injury

The aim of this article is to analyze cardiac dysfunctions occurring after spinal cord injury (SCI). Cardiac dysfunctions are common complications following SCI. Cardiovascular disturbances are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in both acute and chronic stages of SCI. We reviewed epidemiology of cardiac disturbances after SCI, and neuroanatomy and pathophysiology of autonomic nervou...

Consequences of Cardiac Arrests during Spinal Anaesthesia

Spinal anaesthesia has been used for more than a century and is considered as a relatively simple and safe technique. Occasionally unexpected bradycardia and/or asystole may develop during the administration of spinal anaesthesia in apparently healthy and young patients. These situations are often attributed as the consequence of mismanagement of the spinal technique and not due to an intrinsic...

Crosstalk Identification and Modified Crosstalk Model

The performance of xDSL-systems is determined by the existing crosstalk interference. xDSLsystems are optimised to the existing crosstalk interferences in a cable bundle. The crosstalk interference leads to unwanted restrictions in the number of xDSL-systems, which are able to operate parallel in a cable bundle. Realistic crosstalk models are necessary for xDSL-system tests and for the design o...
