Journal ArticleDOI
Physiology Considerations in Geriatric Patients.
TL;DR: This unique physiology must be taken into consideration for geriatric patients undergoing general anesthesia, as it creates a complex physiologic condition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multisite, multivendor validation of the accuracy and reproducibility of proton-density fat-fraction quantification at 1.5T and 3T using a fat-water phantom.
Diego Hernando,Samir D. Sharma,Mounes Aliyari Ghasabeh,Bret D. Alvis,Sandeep Arora,Gavin Hamilton,Li Pan,Jean Shaffer,Keitaro Sofue,Keitaro Sofue,Nikolaus M. Szeverenyi,E. Brian Welch,Qing Yuan,Mustafa R. Bashir,Ihab R. Kamel,Mark J. Rice,Claude B. Sirlin,Takeshi Yokoo,Scott B. Reeder +18 more
TL;DR: To evaluate the accuracy and reproducibility of quantitative chemical shift‐encoded (CSE) MRI to quantify proton‐density fat‐fraction (PDFF) in a fat–water phantom across sites, vendors, field strengths, and protocols.
Journal Article
Randomized controlled trial comparing the McGrath MAC video laryngoscope with the King Vision video laryngoscope in adult patients.
TL;DR: The McGrath MAC video laryngoscope allowed for significantly shorter times to endotracheal intubation, higher success rates on first attempt, and fewer desaturations compared to the King Vision videoLaryngoscopists with limited prior video lARYngoscopy experience.
Journal ArticleDOI
Peripheral i.v. analysis (PIVA) of venous waveforms for volume assessment in patients undergoing haemodialysis.
Kyle M. Hocking,Bret D. Alvis,Franz J. Baudenbacher,Richard B. Boyer,Colleen M. Brophy,I. Beer,Susan S. Eagle +6 more
TL;DR: PIVA is a minimally invasive, novel modality for detecting changes in fluid volume status, respiratory rate and pulse rate in spontaneously breathing patients with peripheral i.v. cannulas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oral Baclofen Withdrawal Resulting in Progressive Weakness and Sedation Requiring Intensive Care Admission
TL;DR: A 62-year-old female whose oral baclofen was not continued at a skilled nursing facility after discharge following inpatient surgery that led to the development of altered mental status and respiratory insufficiency necessitating intensive care unit admission is presented.
