The prediction threshold to correlate with a high ICP (> 20 mmHg) has been proposed by some authors between 5.7 and 5.9 mm but there is no uniform cut-off point in the literature. Objective: To determine the utility of the ONSD measurement as an estimate of non-invasive ICP; correlating it with invasive measurements and cerebral hemodynamic patterns by transcranial Doppler. Method: The sample consisted of a series of five neurocritical cases admitted to the intensive care unit of the Centro de Investigaciones Médico Quirúrgicas, to which an intraventricular catheter was placed to measure ICP by air bag using the Spiegelberg monitor. Each patient underwent simultaneous measurements of ICP, transcranial Doppler ultrasound and retrobulbar ultrasound to measure ONSD. In total, 16 measurements were made that integrated the data for statistical analysis. Results: The value of ONSD over which there was ICP >20 mmHg was 6.50 mm, constituting the cut-off point. The correlation between mvMCA and ONSD was moderate and inverse, with statistical significance (r = -0.532, p = 0.034). Conclusions: Non-invasive multiparametric monitoring as part of critical ultrasound shows promise in neurocritical patients.","PeriodicalId":176391,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Emergency Medicine and Intensive Care","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128318907","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We aimed to evaluate a locally developed paediatric procedural sedations (PPS) service using ketamine for safety, efficiency and efficacy in the context of the national 4 hour operational target which is due to be revised this year in the UK Methods: We enrolled consecutive patients over 12 months suitable for PPS ketamine and collected data for demographics, time to patient identification, time to ketamine administration, procedural duration and time to recovery. We also documented procedure outcome, adverse events, consent, ketamine dosage and baseline physiological observations Results: From May 2017 to May 2018 ketamine PPS was performed on 36 patients with a mean age of 7 years (range 1.8 to 14.6 years). The most common procedure performed was manipulation of forearm fractures (n=21, 58%), followed by facial laceration repair (n=10, 28%). Total intravenous Ketamine dosages were; 1mg/kg (n=23, 64%) 1.5mg/kg (n=10, 28%) and 2mg/kg (n=3, 8%). Average time to referral to surgical speciality was 33 minutes which improved from 40 minutes (pre Sept) to 27 minutes (post Sept). Average time to ketamine administration was 168 minutes, improved from 185 minutes (pre Sept) to 155 minutes (post Sept). The average time taken to complete procedures, all under 20 minutes, also decreased from 19 minutes (pre Sept) to 10 minutes (post Sept) averaging 15 minutes overall. The recovery time was similar throughout the study period. The overall average length of stay (LOS) was 284 minutes, improved from 297 minutes (pre Sept) to 274 minutes (post Sept) figure 3. 20 (55%) of the 36 patients breached the 4 hour target. 10 (28%) patients were admitted, 9 for further neurovascular observations and only 1 where the outcome of a procedure was unsatisfactory. There were no seminal untoward incidents in our study. Vomiting occurred in 4, there was 1 drug error and one patient required brief airway manoeuvres for decreased oxygen saturations Conclusion: We have confirmed PPS ketamine service to be safe and further demonstrated good outcomes in procedures carried out. Despite improved efficiency in the study period the average LOS still falls outside the 4 hour target and a revision would be welcomed to reduce anxiety related to breaches in this group and encourage more uptake of PPS ketamine nationally","PeriodicalId":176391,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Emergency Medicine and Intensive Care","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116362985","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Method of study: A narrative updating review was the study method in the current research. Conclusions: Premature ventricular contraction may be benign and may be a serious arrhythmia. Early and rapid verification of premature ventricular contractions hurry avoidance of the serious outcome.

To guide the anesthetic-surgical process, the anesthesiologist uses non-invasive or invasive monitoring techniques, according to the clinical judgment of the risk associated with the physical condition of the patient and the size of the surgery, which allow measuring and monitoring ventilation, oxygenation, cardiovascular function, temperature, metabolism, level of muscle relaxation and state of consciousness of the patient. Achieving the best hemodynamic coupling or coherence between macro and microcirculation will ultimately determine the good end result in high-risk surgical patients. To evaluate the proper functioning of the microvasculature, the comparative measurement of hemogasometric variables taken in arterial blood and central venous blood samples (called arterio-venous oxygen and carbon dioxide differences, lactate levels and venous saturation) is postulated. It is known that all of them document the interactions between systemic blood flow, tissue supply and oxygen consumption.","PeriodicalId":176391,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Emergency Medicine and Intensive Care","volume":"123 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127063005","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
