متن کاملBlood pressure measurement in adults: large cuffs for all?
STUDY OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to determine whether a single size of cuff for adult blood pressure measurements is appropriate for general clinical practice. DESIGN The study was a prospective survey of a sample of adult blood pressure measurements using two cuffs with different bladder sizes (12 X 23 cm and 15 X 33 cm) in a randomised design using a random zero sphygmomanometer. ...
متن کاملContamination of blood pressure cuffs by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and preventive measures
BACKGROUND Although blood pressure cuffs are commonly used and shared in medical facilities, their routine disinfection is performed infrequently. AIMS We investigated the contamination of blood pressure cuffs by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). METHODS The MRSA level on the inner side (the surface in contact with patients' skin) of blood pressure cuffs used in the wards ...
متن کاملHigh-volume, low-pressure cuffs. Are they always low pressure?
Ischemic tracheal complications due to the ETT cuff occur in approximately 10 percent of mechanically ventilated critically ill patients despite the use of high-volume, low-pressure ETT cuffs. Using a laboratory model, we studied the effects of airway pressure on three different ETT cuff designs, including two "low pressure" designs. Positive airway pressure acted on the "low pressure" cuffs to...
متن کاملT-PPM: A Novel Modulation Scheme for Optical Communication Systems Impaired by Pulse-Width Inaccuracies
M-ary pulse-position modulation (PPM) has received considerable attention for direct-detection photon communications over unguided channels. The analysis generally assumes that the signaling set is orthogonal. However, the orthogonality of the signaling set will be destroyed by the finite area and bandwidth of optical detectors, resulting in severe intersymbol interference. This article present...
