A Case of Cardiac Arrest Caused by Vasovagal Reflex during Blepharoplasty under Local Anesthesia
Vasovagal reflex may cause benign self-limiting syncope triggered by factors such as pain and emotional stress. However, rarely, it may cause cardiac arrest requiring urgent resuscitation, which has heretofore not been reported during blepharoplasty.

Using Peripheral Venous Pressure Waveforms to Predict Key Hemodynamic Parameters [PDF]
Analysis of peripheral venous pressure (PVP) waveforms is a novel method of monitoring intravascular volume. Two cohorts were used to study the hemodynamics change of the body state and its influence on the PVP using (1) dehydration setting with infants ...

Monitoring kidney optical properties during cold storage preservation with spatial frequency domain imaging. [PDF]
Transplantation of kidneys results in delayed graft function in as many as 40% of cases. During the organ transplantation process, donor kidneys undergo a period of cold ischemic time (CIT), where the organ is preserved with a cold storage solution to ...

Intraoperative Imaging of Cortical Blood Flow by Camera-Based Photoplethysmography at Green Light
Intraoperative evaluation of blood perfusion in the brain cortex is an important but hitherto unresolved problem. Our aim was to demonstrate the feasibility of cerebral microcirculation assessment during open brain surgery by using camera-based ...
