INTRODUCTION Non-invasive, continuous hemodynamic monitoring is entering the clinical arena. The primary objective of this study was to test the feasibility of such monitoring in a pilot sample of Emergency Department (ED) stroke patients. Secondary objectives included analysis of hemodynamic variability and correlation of continuous blood pressure measurements with standard measurements. MET...

In the light of increasing prevalence diabetes, research on non-invasive blood sugar measuring devices have begun to be developed, one which utilizes infrared spectroscopy methods. This method uses a pair IR LED and photodiode placed in line. doing so, location its placement human body has considered, thereby enabling capture emitted by LED. Therefore, voltage data generated circuit several par...

Percutaneous cannulation of the axillary artery is a safe and appropriate means of intervention for invasive blood pressure monitoring, particularly in the absence of radial or other peripheral pulses. On five separate occasions the author was called upon to place an indwelling cannula for continuous blood pressure monitoring for patients in whom no distal peripheral pulses were palpable. In ea...

BACKGROUND Cardiac output (CO) is the total volume of blood pumped by the heart per minute and is a function of heart rate and stroke volume. CO is one of the most important parameters for monitoring cardiac function, estimating global oxygen delivery and understanding the causes of high blood pressure. Hence, measuring CO has always been a matter of interest to researchers and clinicians. Seve...

The frequent blood glucose monitoring is highly critical in order to understand the progression of diabetes mellitus and minimize probabilities associated complications. This focuses fabrication a new device for individual monitoring. However, this technology turned out be painful owing its finger-stick technique, resulting compromised patient compliance inconsistent results. A paradigm shift f...
