The TIVA set - Improved OR efficiency and increased patient safety
No full textBy saving time and improving acceptance, the using of total intravenous anesthesia TIVA offers potential for improved operating room efficiency and cost reduction. A common problem in daily routine is the continuous infusion of several drugs using a single IV line. The TIVA set presented in this paper is a preconfigured solution that allows further standardization while increasing patient safety

Tsunamis and rapid coastal remodeling: Linking energy and fractal dimension
No full textTsunamis are one of several processes that contribute to coastal remodeling. This research interpreted geomorphic features over time to better understand if a relationship exists between the flash remodeling of coasts, expressed by bidimensional-fractal dimensions, and known tsunami energy. Fractal geometry analysis, through the box-counting and correlation integral methods, was applied to the physiography of four oceanic coastlands: three in Sumatra, Indonesia, and one in Japan, hit by tsunamis in the last 14 years. Their shoreline fractal dimensions before and after the events and the present-day ones were calculated and compared. Results highlighted any difference or convergence of calculated fractal dimensions. Significant numerical variations of fractal dimensions of the shores before and after each tsunami were registered, and those values gradually decreased post-tsunami. These shorelines, considered stable before tsunamis, increased in physiographic irregularity up to 5–11% immediately after the phenomena;this slowly diminished to2–5«out8 to 15 years later; and finally to 3–6% present-day, compared to the pre-event shorelines. Considering these changes of the fractal dimension and the hydrodynamic energy of the tsunami, responsible for the abrupt coastal remodeling, a simple empirical expression and evaluation of the residual resilience is proposed. As a first step, a real physical meaning, in terms of energy, is attributed to the (dimensionless) fractal dimension
New concepts in mechanical ventilation
No full textMechanical ventilation is an integral part of modern intensive care management. The advances made in the development of ventilation techniques have provided the intensive care physician with a variety of technical options for controlled and assisted ventilation. The choice of a particular mode of ventilation should be based on the pathophysiology and severity of the underlying disease, guided by the maxim that the respirator has to be fitted to the patient and not the patient to the respirator
Risks and benefits of mechanical ventilation with positive end-expiratory pressure during the perioperative phase
No full textGas exchange disturbances during and following general anaesthesia result primarily from atelectasis and may lead to threatening hypoxemia. Research has shown that atelectasis appears within the first 5 minutes in approximately 90% of all patients due to oxygen uptake and mechanical ventilation with pure oxygen via the induction of narcosis. A reduction of inspiratory oxygen concentration from 100% to 80% during the induction is able to minimize the size of atelectasis by nearly 85%. For recruitment of atelectasis in adults with a closed chest an airway pressure of approx. 40 cm H2O is needed for a time period of 7 - 10 seconds. Whenever a high inspiratory oxygen concentration is needed, mechanical ventilation with positive end-expiratory pressure should be applied in order to avoid renewed alveolar collapse. The exclusive use of PEEP leads to only partial recruitment of the atelectasis and does not improve the gas exchange in unselected patients. Serious side effects with the intraoperative application of moderate PEEP levels (5 - 10 cm H2O in adults) are not expected. Atelectasis may be one of the main causes for postoperative pulmonary complications such as pneumonia and hypoxemia CPAP and if necessary non-invasive mechanical ventilation with PEEP are the most effective procedures for reopening atelectasis and in case of pulmonary complications should be part of the post-operative standard therapy, although research is still needed to determine the long-term prognostic use
