Background: The effective therapeutic dose of pralidoxime methylsulphate for organophosphate (OP) poisoning is necessary to be clarified. This study was designed to comparatively assess the blood level of pralidoxime (BPL) and clinical outcomes in OP poisoned patients treated with intermittent dosing and patients treated with continuous infusion. Methods: This was a prospective, open labelled, ...

the aim of this work is to evaluate the influence of fabrication methods on the com-pressive properties of sandwich composites using both experimental work and numerical simulations. two types of sandwich composites with e-glass/kevlar/polyester resin facings and end-grain balsa wood as core have been produced by vacuum infusion processing (vip) and hand-lay up (hl) method. compression tests on...

Since there is no detailed hospital based incident reporting system, this study was designed to evaluate the medication errors associated with infusion pumps in intensive care unit (ICU). The investigation was conducted in a Teaching hospital in the form of a prospective, observational study. A sample size of 43 doses administered to ICU patients was chosen to enable reliable estimate of error ...

Background: It is not clear whether the use of volumetric peristaltic infusion pumps, affect the quality of the erythrocytes during packed cell transfusion or not. In the present study in vitro quality of red blood cells was assessed after using this type of infusion pumps in a prospective study. Materials and Methods: In this study 60 units of packed red cells were examined before and after p...

to evaluate the effect of intravenous infusion of a soybean based lipid emulsion (lipovenoes 10%) on some blood constituents in sheep, a replicated 2 × 2 latin square design experiment was conducted in four clinically healthy ewes. lipid emulsion (le group) or normal saline (ns group) was infused intravenously at a rate of 0.025 ml kg-1 per min for 6 hr and the concentrations of blood triglycer...

abstract background: acute coronary syndrome is the most common disease in the world. several studies suggest that hyperglycemia is associated with poor clinical outcomes in patients with coronary artery disease. the aim of this study was to investigate the impact of insulin infusion protocol and conventional therapy on the blood glucose level and outcomes in acute coronary syndrome patients wi...

objective: the aim of this study is to further compare the efficacy of pge2 suppository, the intracervical foley catheter and extra-amniotic saline infusion in nulliparous women referred for labor induction. materials and methods: totally 368 nulliparous women with a bishop score ≤ 4 with singleton gestation, vertex presentation and intact membrane referred for labor induction were randomly ass...

Poor penetration of vancomycin into Central Nervous System (CNS) can lead to treatmentfailure. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare CSF concentration and serumpharmacokinetics of high dose vancomycin by continuous infusion vs. intermittent infusion inpost neurosurgical meningitis patients. Twenty patients were divided into two groups. Patientsin intermittent infusion group received...
