Monitoring transfusion practice – a computerized procedure

Transfusion Medicine, 2002
Summary As the description of transfusion practice over time requires the handling of massive amounts of data, and because the majority of records have until now been paper‐based, little is known about the epidemiology of blood transfusion. Furthermore, most previous studies have collected data manually from patient records or from computerized ...

Monitor for sterilization procedures

2001 Conference Proceedings of the 23rd Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2001
Rapid and accurate determination of the efficacy of sterilization procedures is demonstrated using a hand-held instrument based on the intrinsic fluorescence of germinating spores . This technology requires no added reagents or sample contact. Bacterial contamination on medical instruments and surfaces can also be assessed.

Monitoring ENT Procedures

2013
Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IOM) is used during surgeries of the head and neck, procedures to remove tumors of the thyroid, parathyroid, and parotid glands that put cranial nerves at risk, specifically the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) (branch of CNX) and the facial nerve (Dionigi et al. Surg Technol Int 19:25–37, 2010).

Monitoring cardiac and ascending aortic procedures

2022
Although cardiac and aortic operations have been successfully performed for more than 60 years, the risk of neurologic complications remains high. In particular, the rate of stroke with cardiac operations continues to be significant in the 1%-5% range.

Monitoring Procedures of the Spine

2013
The vertebral column is an extremely complex structure, and surgical procedures involving cervical, thoracic, and lumbar levels pose a risk to the neural elements. Although the overall incidence of a major neurologic complication such as paraplegia is low, advances in intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) techniques have made ...

Ultrasonic monitoring of decompression procedures

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. B, Biological Sciences, 1984
Early detection of bubbles may provide clues to the mechanism of their formation, and a knowledge of their extent during a decompression may allow the prevention of decompression sickness. We have used ultrasound imaging to study bubble formation in peripheral tissues.

Improved Radon Daughter Monitoring Procedure

American Industrial Hygiene Association Journal, 1969
Abstract A simple, rapid procedure for monitoring radon daughters in mine air has been developed., Air is drawn through a membrane filter for a period, the duration of which is adjusted to the minimum sampling time necessary to give a specified accuracy in the final results.

Monitoring the Electroencephalogram During Bypass Procedures

Seminars in Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia, 2004
Electroencephalographic monitoring has been performed since the early days of cardiopulmonary bypass. Despite this long experience, the technology has never been widely used for cardiac operations. This review examines the reasons for the limited use and describes technological advances that may alter this pattern.

Rapid Procedure for Monitoring Steroid Transformations

Nature, 1962
THE Δ1 dehydrogenation of 12α-fluoro,llβ-hydroxytestosterone by C. simplex is an extremely fast reaction. Peak conversion to product may occur within 1 hr. after addition of the substrate. Furthermore, the product is quickly degraded after the reaction is completed. A reaction of this type requires a rapid method of determining harvest time.

A "Screening" Procedure for Monitoring Student Grading Procedures

Evaluation & the Health Professions, 1988
Monitoring the quality of complicated and dynamic curriculums like those found in most health science schools is a timeconsuming and arduous task. It would be helpful to have a mechanism to monitor various aspects of the curriculum. This article describes a procedure derivedfrom classical test theory for analyzing course grades and reports the results
