Comparison of topical lignocaine gel and fentanyl for perioperative analgesia in children undergoing cataract surgery.

28 Dec 2009 BACKGROUND: Opioids continue to remain the primary analgesics in children undergoing ophthalmic surgery, and their use may be associated with adverse effects like vomiting and respiratory depression. Topical anesthesia avoids these adverse effects ... Read more...

Inter-rater reliability of manual QT measurement and prediction of abnormal QT,HR pairs.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVES: To assess interobserver agreement when trained healthcare staff measure the QT interval using a standardized approach across a range of QT lengths. METHODS: A sample of 110 electrocardiograms (ECGs) was taken from general and ... Read more...

A hemodynamic profile for consciousness during cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

30 Oct 2009 We report the quantification of a hemodynamic profile sufficient to support consciousness during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. A 62-yr-old man experienced cardiac arrest while being evaluated for heart failure after heart transplantation. During ... Read more...
