Pressure measurement in oesophageal varices: preliminary report on a new non-invasive method.
Pressure in oesophageal varices has been measured either by using an invasive puncture technique, or a non-invasive pneumatic pressure sensor. Experience with these techniques and their limitations prompted a new way of measuring pressure in oesophageal varices. This was done by observing through a transparent plastic balloon fixed to the tip of a gastroscope the pressure equilibrium between th...
متن کاملNew modalities for non-invasive positive pressure ventilation: A review article
Efficiency of non-invasive positive pressure ventilation in the treatment of respiratory failure has been shown in many published studies. In this review article, we introduced new modalities of non-invasive ventilation (NIV), clinical settings in which NIV can be used and a practical summary of the latest official guidelines published by the European Respiratory Clinical Practice. Clinical tri...
متن کاملPrediction of oesophageal varices in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis by non-invasive markers
INTRODUCTION Preliminary data suggested that non-invasive methods could be useful to assess presence of oesophageal varices (OV) in liver cirrhosis. The primary objectives were to investigate non-invasive markers for diagnosing and grading OV in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS This study included a total of 106 consecutive treatment-naive patients with primary bi...
متن کاملAccuracy of non - invasive intracranial pressure measurement
Non-invasive measurement of intracranial pressure (ICP) reduces the complications and cost for both patient and health care systems. Improvement of non-invasive methods has led to development of systems for reproducing continuous, real-time non-invasive ICP signals. So far, non-invasive methods have been tailored for the patients with head trauma. We have used Schmidt’s auto-adaptive method to ...
متن کاملAdaptive Non-invasive Blood Pressure Measurement
In this paper oscillometric method is used to develop an adaptive non-invasive blood pressure measurement system. To overcome the drawback of conventional oscillometric method an algorithm is developed. During the time of deflation and inflation process the step size of pressure pumped and released using pump and valve respectively is varied adaptively by continuously monitoring the feedback wh...
