Abstract With the aging of society and the increase in people’s concern for personal health, long-term physiological signal monitoring in daily life is in demand. In recent years, electronic skin..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Purpose of review  To provide an overview of the role of remote monitoring tools in management of critically-ill patients requiring acute mechanical circulatory support (MCS). Recent findings  Tele-critical care systems have..

Abstract OBJECTIVES:  Superior vena cava oxygen saturation (SVC O2) monitoring is well described for early detection of hemodynamic deterioration after neonatal cardiac surgery but inferior vena cava vein oxygen saturation (IVC O2) monitoring data..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Prolonged non-contact camera-based monitoring in critically ill patients presents unique challenges, but may facilitate safe recovery. A study was designed to evaluate the feasibility of introducing a non-contact video..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives Less-invasive and continuous cardiac output monitors recently have been developed to monitor patient hemodynamics. The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy, precision, and trending ability..

Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is challenged by several potential complications. Adverse neurologic events such as intracranial hemorrhages, strokes, seizures, and brain death are among the most detrimental and even catastrophic..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract The management of a patient placed on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a team effort. The anesthesiology team plays an integral part during cannulation and oftentimes as well during..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Hypovolemia, anemia and hypoxemia may cause critical deterioration in the oxygen delivery (DO2). Their early detection followed by a prompt and appropriate intervention is a cornerstone in the care..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Purpose of review  There is an increasing interest in the application of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) as a monitoring tool in noncardiac surgery. This review summarizes the latest developments and..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Cardiac surgical outcomes in the UK have consistently improved despite increasing procedure complexity and ‘sicker’ patients. Numerous anaesthetic techniques are employed with no definitive evidence clearly demonstrating superiority of..

Perfusfind S.L.

Background Various techniques have been employed for the early detection of perioperative cerebral ischaemia and hypoxia. Cerebral near‐infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is increasingly used in this clinical scenario to monitor brain..
