Compliance in peritoneal dialysis: a qualitative study of renal nurses.
End-stage renal failure is a life-threatening condition, often treated with home-based peritoneal dialysis (PD). PD is a demanding regimen, and the patients who practise it must make numerous lifestyle changes and learn complicated biomedical techniques. In our experience, the renal nurses who provide most PD education frequently express concerns that patient compliance with their teaching is p...
متن کاملCerebral oximetry: a replacement for pulse oximetry?
Cerebral oximetry has been around for some 3 decades but has had a somewhat checkered history regarding application and reliability. More recently several monitors have been approved in the United States and elsewhere and the technique is emerging as a useful tool for assessing not only adequate cerebral oxygenation but also tissue oxygenation and perfusion in other organs.
متن کاملIndividualised pulse oximetry limits in neonatal intensive care.
AIM To determine whether individualised limits for arterial oxyhaemaglobin saturation by pulse oximetry (SpO(2)) are more effective for detecting hypoxia and hyperoxia in sick newborn infants than setting fixed limits. METHODS Six hundred and ninety two simultaneous measurements of SpO(2) and partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood (PaO(2)) were made in 95 infants. The sensitivity and sp...
متن کاملPulse Oximetry
The principal advantage of optical sensors for medical applications is their intrinsic safety since there is no electrical contact between the patient and the equipment. (An added bonus is that they are also less suspect to electromagnetic interference). This has given rise to a variety of optical techniques to monitor physiological parameters: for example, the technique of Laser Doppler veloci...
متن کاملPulse Oximetry
Introduction There is no doubt that pulse oximetry represents the greatest advance in patient monitoring in many years. It has the unique advantage of continuously monitoring the saturation of hemoglobin with oxygen, easily and noninvasively, providing a measure of cardio-respiratory function. By virtue of its ability to quickly detect hypoxaemia, it has become the standard of care during anaes...
