Filter by:Background: Detection of coronary artery disease (CAD) is important due to its high prevalence and its medical and economic implications. Purpose: A systematic review of the diagnostic performance of stress echocardiography (Echo), SPECT, cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), CT Perfusion (CTP) and PET versus invasive coronary angiography (ICA) or fractional flow reserve (FFR) using hierarchical summary ROC (HSROC) methods. Data Sources: MEDLINE, EMBASE and SCOPUS for literature published in English or Spanish from January 1970 to December 2015. Study Selection: For inclusion, studies had to meet the Cochrane guidelines, had to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity methods, and use ICA and/or FFR. Only those studies with STARD methodology ≥60% were included. Data Extraction: Ten investigators extracted patient and study characteristics and 4 resolved any disagreements.
The relationship between visual pain score and perfusion index in postoperative patients.
The association between patient positions including supine,prone, trendelenburg,reverse trendelenburg,45 degrees back up sitting position, 45 degrees legs lifted supine position and perfusion index.
This study is aimed to assess the effects of intravenously administered three fluid types on perfusion index and pulse variability index in patients during preoperative period. Patients will be randomly divided into three groups. Baseline, 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, 25th and 30th min non-invasive blood pressure, oxygen saturation, heart rate, room temperature, perfusion index and pulse variability index will be measured and recorded.
The aim of this study is to test the feasibility of using polarised green laser and CMOS camera in order to assess the tissue perfusion of lower extremity ulcers in patients suffering from diabetic foot by comparing this method with the percutaneous tissue oxygen tension examination which is currently the "gold standard" examination.
This study evaluates the clinical effectiveness of Magnetic Resonance(MR) perfusion imaging to qualitatively assess adequate distal perfusion after endovascular revascularization in Critical Limb Ischemia
Tissue perfusion is a critical factor for tissue regeneration and healing of anastomoses. Compromised microperfusion in the area where the anastomosis is sited likely contributes to leaks, but until now there has not been an easy and reliable technique to intraoperatively evaluate microperfusion. Objectives: To assess the association of intraoperative flux measurement with postoperative outcome of patients undergoing major abdominal surgery. Trial design: Prospective observational study. Flux measurement will be carried out using the moorVMS-LDF DUAL CHANNEL Laser Doppler Blood Flow system. The flux probe will be applied on the respective organs (i.e. esophagus, stomach, liver, pancreas, colon, rectum) and measurements will be documented after a stable signal has been obtained.
The perfusion of microvascular free flaps is inevitable for completion of reconstruction in the head and neck area. In some patients microvascular anastomosis is impossible because of arteriosclerotic changes, different oncological interventions, and consecutive vessel depletion at the neck. The aim of the project is to establish an innovative system for extracorporeal perfusion of microvascular free flaps after ingrowth of new vessels from the wound bed have taken place. Afterwards, no further perfusion of the vascular pedicle is required for free flaps to survive and provide functional and aesthetic reconstruction.
The investigators will evaluate the determinants of cerebral impairment in patients with non-ischemic heart failure compared to controls, and its relation to cognitive function. They hypothesize that patients with heart failure have impaired brain perfusion and hemodynamic factors are associated with cognitive dysfunction.
Electric Impedance Tomography (EIT) is a technique based on the injection of small currents and voltage measurements using electrodes on the skin surface generating cross-sectional images representing impedance change in a slice of the thorax.It is a radiation free, non- invasive and portable lung imaging technique. Impedance changes in lung ventilation as well as in lung perfusion can be shown. To investigate lung perfusion by EIT measurements, cardiac output measured by routinely undergone stress echocardiography at rest and stress are compared to parameters measured by EIT.
