In combination, low blood pressure, low inhalation agent concentration and increased depth of anesthesia are associated with worse outcome
Higher concentrations of an anesthetic are associated with deeper levels of hypnosis. There is some evidence to show that longer periods of deep hypnosis are associated with poor outcome. What about outcome after the use of a lower concentration of … Continue reading
In the lab: Dr. Berend Westerhof and the development of a noninvasive continuous arterial blood pressure monitor
In many surgical procedures, continuous pressure measurement with an arterial line may not be required. However, noninvasive blood pressure measured intermittently often lacks sufficient resolution to detect rapid hemodynamic changes. In such cases, continuous noninvasive blood pressure measurement may be … Continue reading
