Catheter Ablation: Evolution and Efficiencies

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The present review includes a discussion the goals and pitfalls of efficiency in the medical profession, a historical perspective on the evolution of catheter ablation in the field of electrophysiology (EP), and the data regarding the relationship between efficiency and outcomes in the EP lab. Focus on efficacy is critical to maximize resource

Ultrasound-assessed Diaphragmatic Function as a Predictor of Lung Function and Exercise Capacity in Stable COPD: A Case–Control Study [PDF]

Indian Journal of Respiratory Care
Spirometry and the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) are commonly employed to assess patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but both methods are effort-dependent and may lead to oxygen desaturation during testing.

Internal Jugular Vein as an Alternative Access for Pacemaker Implantation: A Mostly Left IJ Case Series

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Leadless pacemakers traditionally rely on femoral venous access, which may be limited in patients with unfavorable IVC anatomy, prior interventions, or situations where preserving femoral access is preferred. Internal jugular (IJ) access offers an alternative route, but real‐world data on IJ implantation of single‐ and dual‐chamber ...

Ultrasound of the diaphragm in severe hypokalemia induced diaphragmatic dysfunction

Lung India, 2017
Severe hypokalemia presents with significant muscle weakness and involvement of respiratory muscles. Bedside ultrasonography of the diaphragm is emerging as a noninvasive bedside tool for diagnosis and followup of diaphragmatic dysfunction due to various causes. Here, we present a case of diaphragmatic dysfunction due to severe hypokalemia. The patient

Temporary caval occlusion technique during right divisional hepatectomy for massive hepatocellular carcinoma with caudal vena cava compression/involvement in dogs

Veterinary Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To describe the perioperative and long‐term outcomes of dogs with massive hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in the right hepatic division causing compression or involvement of the caudal vena cava (CVC) treated with right divisional hepatectomy using temporary caval occlusion (TCO). Study design Retrospective case series.

Ultrasound assessment of diaphragmatic excursion in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients with different severities

The Egyptian Journal of Bronchology
Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with dysfunctional diaphragmatic breathing we assess the diaphragmatic excursion at different stages of COPD patients by transthoracic ultrasound.

Cerebral haemodynamic responses to inspiratory muscle work

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Fatiguing inspiratory work has been shown to evoke a sympathetically mediated reflex that has systemic cardiovascular consequences, including increases in heart rate and blood pressure and a decrease in resting limb vascular conductance. Moreover, the response to this reflex appears to be attenuated in females compared with males.

Pressure‐dependent coupling between arterial pressure and intercostal muscle blood‐flow index during acute hypotension in humans

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Regulation of respiratory muscle blood flow during acute systemic hypotension remains poorly understood in humans because continuous assessment of microvascular perfusion during rapid haemodynamic transients has been technically challenging. Using diffuse correlation spectroscopy, we investigated second‐by‐second coupling between mean arterial

Early trigger diagnosis by diaphragmatic ultrasound

Journal of Mechanical Ventilation
Mechanical ventilation is one of the most widespread and characteristic procedures in intensive care units (ICU). Proper understanding of ventilator waveforms is very helpful in achieving protective ventilation for both the lung and the diaphragm, and in many cases improving patient-ventilator interaction.
