Perfusion index derived from a pulse oximeter can predict the incidence of hypotension during spinal anaesthesia for Caesarean delivery

Par


Methods Parturients undergoing elective Caesarean delivery under spinal anaesthesia with hyperbaric bupivacaine 10 mg and fentanyl 20 μg were enrolled in this prospective study. The correlation between baseline PI and the degree of hypotension during spinal anaesthesia and also the predictability of spinal anaesthesia-induced hypotension during Caesarean delivery by PI were investigated.
Results Baseline PI correlated with the degree of decreases in systolic and mean arterial pressure (r=0.664, P<0.0001 and r=0.491, P=0.0029, respectively). The cut-off PI value of 3.5 identified parturients at risk for spinal anaesthesia-induced hypotension with a sensitivity of 81% and a specificity of 86% (P<0.001). The change of PI in parturients with baseline PI≤3.5 was not significant during the observational period, while PI in parturients with baseline PI>3.5 demonstrated marked decreases after spinal injection.
Conclusions We demonstrated that higher baseline PI was associated with profound hypotension and that baseline PI could predict the incidence of spinal anaesthesia-induced hypotension during Caesarean delivery.

HTML5 Games On Android

Par
On my last hollidays, I made two HTML5 games, and published on android market. Nowadays javascript has powerful libraries for doing almost everything, and also there are several compilers from java or c code to javascript, converting opengl c code to html5 canvas, but definitely, javascript execution is slower than dalvik applications, and of course much slower than arm c libs. For improving the speed of sounds and images loader, I have used javascript asynchronous execution and scheduling priority has been controlled with setTimeout/setInterval which deprioritize or priorize a code block. This games are published on the android market here: Android Planets and here: Far Planet Related news Hacker Hardware Tools Pentest Tools Port Scanner Hacker Tools For Mac Tools Used For Hacking Hacker Techniques Tools And Incident Handling Easy Hack Tools Hacking Tools Kit Hacking Tools Usb Hacker Hardware Tools Hacker Tools Hardware Hack Tools For Windows Hacking Tools For G...

Abdominal pain after a motor vehicle accident

Par
CASE A 22-year-old man was brought to the ED complaining of abdominal pain after a rollover motor vehicle accident. He was the front seat passenger and was wearing a seat belt. Although he was trapped in the vehicle and it caught on fire, he did not suffer any cutaneous burns. History  The patient's past medical history was significant for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. He admitted to using tobacco and alcohol socially, but denied illicit drug use. He denied any medication use or drug allergies. A review of systems was positive for complaints of abdominal pain and anxiety. Physical examination  The patient's vital signs were: BP, 112/51 mm Hg; heart rate, 110 beats/minute; respirations, 23; SpO 2 , 95% on room air; and temperature, 37.4° C (99.3° F). On ED arrival, he was awake, alert, and oriented but appeared anxious and agitated. His pupils were equal, round, and reactive to light. His head was normocephalic with a 2-cm laceration on the left ear. The pati...
