Method Nasal acceleration and nasal airflow signals were simultaneously recorded while an expert speech language pathologist modeled NAEs at a variety of severity levels. In addition, microphone and nasal accelerometer signals were collected duri...
متن کاملEvaluation of Staphylococcus aureus Nasal Carriage Screening before Vascular Surgery
INTRODUCTION Staphylococcus aureus is the most important pathogen in the development of surgical site infections (SSI). Patients who carry S. aureus in the nose are at increased risk for the development of SSI in cardiothoracic and orthopedic surgery. In these populations it has been shown that the risk for SSI can be substantially reduced by eradicating S. aureus carriage. For vascular surgery...
متن کاملPhenylephrine as an alternative to cocaine for nasal vasoconstriction before nasal surgery: A randomised trial
BACKGROUND Cocaine is often used topically to provide the profound vasoconstriction required for nasal surgery; however, it has been associated with intraoperative cardiac adverse effects. We compared cocaine with phenylephrine as an alternative to ascertain their relative efficacy as vasoconstrictors in nasal septoplasty. METHODS Adult patients, presenting for elective nasal septoplasty, of ...
