Utility of Skin Tone on Pulse Oximetry in Critically Ill Patients: A Prospective Cohort Study

Critical Care Explorations
OBJECTIVE:. Pulse oximetry, a ubiquitous vital sign in modern medicine, has inequitable accuracy that disproportionately affects minority Black and Hispanic patients, with associated increases in mortality, organ dysfunction, and oxygen therapy. Previous

Sympatho‐Excitation in Pulmonary Hypertension: The Potential Role of Pulmonary Arterial Baroreceptors: An Acute Physiologic Intervention Study

Respirology, EarlyView.
Pulmonary arterial baroreceptors reflexively stimulate sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) in response to elevated pulmonary artery pressure and distension. In pulmonary hypertension patients, changes in muscle SNA were proportional to changes in pulmonary haemodynamics following nebulised iloprost.

A Novel Real-Time Non-invasive Hemoglobin Level Detection Using Video Images from Smartphone Camera [PDF]

, 2017
Hemoglobin level detection is necessary for evaluating health condition in the human. In the laboratory setting, it is detected by shining light through a small volume of blood and using a colorimetric electronic particle counting algorithm.

Role of novel automated methods in pulse signal analysis to screen for sleep‐disordered breathing among patients on chronotropic medications

Sleep Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Study objectives To investigate the use of automated analysis to detect heart rate accelerations (HRAs) to screen for sleep‐disordered breathing (SDB) among patients who use chronotropic medications. Methods Nocturnal polysomnography (NPSG) recordings from 933 participants in the Sleep Heart Health Study were analyzed using an automated method

Development of an Oxygen Saturation Monitoring System by Embedded Electronics [PDF]

, 2017
Measuring Oxygenation of blood (SaO2) plays a vital role in patient’s health monitoring. This is often measured by pulse oximeter, which is standard measure during anesthesia, asthma, operative and post-operative recoveries.

Capture of isoflurane from anaesthetised dogs and cats following methadone, medetomidine and ketamine administration

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Volatile anaesthetic agents contribute to climate change, and reducing this impact is a commendable ambition. We evaluated the efficiency of a veterinary capture device for isoflurane (VET‐can/VET‐dock, SageTech Veterinary) in anaesthetised cats and dogs.

Intravenous paracetamol does not have significant opioid‐sparing effects when used as part of a multimodal analgesic protocol in dogs undergoing elective orthopaedic surgery

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Data evaluating paracetamol combined with NSAIDs in dogs are scarce. Results of clinical studies in dogs investigating intravenous paracetamol vary. Methods Dogs were randomised to either receive 10 mg/kg paracetamol intravenously after induction of anaesthesia and every 8 hours during hospitalisation (test) or not (control).
