متن کاملMonitoring pulmonary artery pressure.
cialist at UCLA Medical Center and assistant clinical professor at the UCLA School of Nursing in Los Angeles, Calif. A variety of backrest positions may be used that do not compromise the accuracy of measurements of pulmonary artery pressure. Backrest elevations of 0°, 30°, 45°, and 60° with the patient supine (back flat against bed surface) do not affect the accuracy of measurements of pulmona...
متن کاملPulmonary artery diameter to predict pulmonary hypertension in pulmonary sarcoidosis.
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a known complication of pulmonary sarcoidosis with a prevalence ranging from 5% to 74% [1]. The aetiology of PH in sarcoidosis is not fully understood. Usually, it is attributed to the destruction of the distal capillary bed by lung fibrosis and/or chronic hypoxaemia. However, the severity of PH does not correlate consistently with the degree of pulmonary fibrosis...
متن کاملSignificance of pulsatility of brachial artery pressure for blood pressure control.
Few studies have examined predictors of poor blood pressure (BP) control. The aim of this study was to observe the relationship between the pulsatility of brachial artery pressure characterized as pulse pressure/diastolic pressure (PP/DP), suggesting aortic input impedance, and poor BP control. We obtained office BP measurements for 94 patients aged 40-75 years with either office systolic BP (S...
متن کاملPulmonary Artery Pressure in Patients with Markedly Deviated Septum Candidate for Septorhinoplasty
BACKGROUND The nasal septal deviation (NSD) is one of the major causes of nasal obstruction. This condition increases upper airway resistance. In This study we evaluated the mean pulmonary artery pressure (MPAP) in patients with markedly deviated septum. METHODS Sixty two patients with NSD (Age range: 26-45 years, 34 men and 28 women) were included in the study. Mean pulmonary artery press...
