Filter by:The purpose of this study is to monitor vital signs with contact and non-contact monitors in patients during anesthesia, and analyze the signal differences between the two monitors.
To gain healthcare workers' perception of the current observations practices used in patient care and explore the benefits of using technology to enhance observations in inpatient mental health setting in the United Kingdom.
70% of surgical interventions are abdominal surgeries. Open abdominal surgery is performed in patients for whom minimally invasive approaches are not suitable. In these surgeries in which general anesthesia is used, the duration of the operation is longer, complications are more frequent, and postoperative recovery occurs later. Low body temperature before surgery, preoperative fasting and fluid deprivation before anesthesia, exposure of large body surface areas, evaporative heat loss during skin preparation using volatile solutions, large open cavity or abdominal surgery longer operative time and exposure to anesthesia, during surgical intervention excessive blood loss etc. surgical intervention poses a risk for the formation of undesirable hypothermia. Cardiovascular and respiratory system problems that may increase mortality due to hypothermia in surgical patients; may cause a decrease in heart rhythm, cardiac output, blood pressure and oxygen saturation, and an increased risk of cardiac arrest and ischemia. With the development of shivering, oxygen consumption increases and the "thermal comfort" of the patient deteriorates. The length of stay in the postoperative unit and hospital stay are prolonged, causing an increase in costs. Among the rapid recovery protocols, it is recommended to pre-warm the patients in the preoperative period to maintain normothermia. Many complications are prevented by different methods and warming procedures performed in the perioperative period. In our study, it was aimed to compare the effects of active and passive warming on hypothermia, vital signs and warmth comfort in the postoperative period in patients who will undergo open abdominal surgery.
The impact of the coronavirus disease (COVID)-19 pandemic on global healthcare systems has prompted a search for novel tools to stem the tide. New digital health tools can provide possible health solutions in this time of unprecedented medical crisis to mitigate the impact of this pandemic. This proof of concept study will determine the feasibility and effectiveness of implementing a mobile application for contactless screening and vital signs measurement (MAC-VITAL) such as blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR), oxyhemoglobin saturation (SpO2), temperature from surgical patients peri-operatively. Contactless measurement of vital signs will bridge the current gap between virtual care and in-person medical assessments.
Abdominal surgeries are those in which pain is felt severely due to the incision close to the diaphragm and an intensive neural network in the abdominal area. If the patient's post-operative pain is not controlled; Since it will restrict patient mobility, it can cause problems on many systems such as the pulmonary, cardiovascular and neuroendocrine system, and even suppress the immune system. Surgical intervention decision can cause anxiety in individuals regardless of the type of surgical procedure. Fear of anesthesia, fear of death, possibility of developing complications after surgery, pain, change in daily life activities, loss of social life and loss of control can lead to anxiety. In addition to all these, factors such as pain, fear, anxiety that stimulate the sympathetic nervous system can increase the pulse rate, blood pressure and respiratory rate. Reiki, a complementary and alternative medicine (TAT) method, is a bioenergy based on the energy use of the body and has been used in various cultures for centuries in preventing and treating some diseases. Reiki is thought to help balance the body's natural energetic systems and reduce anxiety by transferring the available energy through hands. During Reiki, the activity of the parasympathetic system increases, pain and anxiety decrease. Thus, the patient's complaints are reduced by providing early discharge with possible complications after surgery. Studies on the effectiveness of reiki, which is increasing worldwide use and recommended as a treatment approach for health services, are insufficient. The aim of this study, which is planned as a three-group interventional randomized control, is to examine the effect of reiki application on patients' negative reflections on pain, anxiety, fear and vital signs, which is the major surgery type in which patients experience the most pain.
1. Determine agreement (accuracy) of resting heart rate measured by Vitalpercept when compared to an FDA-cleared electrocardiograph (ECG) device, LifeSignals Wireless Biosensor. 2. Determine agreement (accuracy) of resting respiratory rate measured by Vitalpercept when compared to an FDA-cleared capnographer, Capnostream 20.
Dental fear and anxiety remain common problems that should be managed by both the dentist and the anesthetist. The currently available evidence for safe and effective sedative drugs for children undergoing the dental procedure is scarce The aim of this study was to compare the safety and efficacy of intravenous ketofol versus dexmedetomidine (Dex) as premedications a sedative in anxious children undergoing dental pulp therapy
Small connected devices monitoring vital signs do not exist in children although they could be very useful to monitor patients once they have left the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) in order to early identify patients at risk of PICU readmission. The main objective of this study is to assess the accuracy of a connected thoracic patch (VT-Patch) for the continuous monitoring of vital signs in PICU patients. This monitoring device will be used to monitor children in PICU for 8 hours and results will be compared to the standard of care in the unit which is the Philips monitoring system. The investigators will assess the device's accuracy for the monitoring of 4 vital signs (SpO2, heart rate, respiratory rate and temperature) and perform exploratory assessment of three additional parameters (EKG, blood pressure and movement capture). The skin colour of each participant will be categorized based on Fitzpatrick scale and non-invasive spectroscopic method.
Background and Aims: Music therapy has a wide range of uses in health care practice. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of intraoperative music played during spinal anesthesia operation on the patients' intraoperative vital signs, postoperative pain, and anxiety status. Methods: The study was performed in an operating room with a total of 90 patients, of whom 30 were in the music group, 30 were in the control group and 30 were in the sedated group. The ethics committee's approval, institutional permission, and the study participants' written informed consent were obtained. Data were collected using patient information and intraoperative observation form for vital signs as well as through the Visual Analog Scale and State Anxiety Scale. Preoperative and postoperative anxiety, the intraoperative and postoperative vital signs and postoperative pain and anxiety of all groups were analyzed.
To develop an intervention to train family carers to perform and document basic vital signs whilst they provide personal care to their relatives after surgery in order to supplement patient monitoring conducted by nursing staff. To evaluate the effect of this intervention on the frequency of documented vital signs for patients in the first three days after surgery in a stepped-wedge cluster trial.
