Background Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has become the treatment of choice in patients with severe aortic valve stenosis who are not eligible for operative replacement and an alternative for those with high surgical risk. Due to high age and smoking history in a high proportion of TAVI patients, suspicious findings are frequently observed in pre-procedural chest computer tomography (CCT).

Clinical Use of Oxygen Stores: Pre-oxygenation and Apneic Oxygenation

1992

During states of respiratory arrest the human oxygen stores may be used therapeutically, regardless of the origin, i.e. either prior to the routinely induced apnea for endotracheal intubation or as an emergency measure in any other case of apnea. The present considerations focus on the clinical use of the oxygen stores available, applying.

Volumes, heat capacities and solubilities of amyl compounds in decyltrimethylammonium bromide aqueous solutions

1989

Apparent molar heat capacities and volumes of amylamine (PentNH2) 0.02m, capronitrile (PentCN) 0.02m and nitropentane (PentNO2) 0.009m in decyltrimethylammonium bromide (DeTAB) micellar solutions, in water and in octane were measured at 25°C. By assuming that their concentration approaches the standard infinite dilution state, heat capacities and volumes were rationalized by means of previously reported equations following which the distribution constant between the aqueous and the micellar phase and heat capacity and volume of the additives in both phases are simultaneously derived. The present results are compared to those we have previously obtained for pentanol (PentOH). The thermodynam…

Partial molar volumes of cobalt(II) chloride in ethanol + water at 298.15 K

1996

Densities of ethanol + water + cobalt(II) chloride mixtures have been measured with an oscillating-tube densimeter over a large range of concentrations of salt, at 298.15 K. From these densities, apparent molar volumes of the electrolyte in these mixtures have been calculated, and partial molar volumes at infinite dilution have been evaluated, at different concentrations of alcohol in the solvent.

Apparent molar volumes of lithium nitrate in 1-propanol + water in the temperature range from 288.15 to 318.15 K

2002

Abstract Densities of 1-propanol+water+lithium chloride mixtures have been measured with an oscillating-tube densimeter over a large range of concentrations of the salt and 1-propanol at 288.15, 298.15, 308.15, and 318.15 K. From these densities, apparent molar volumes of lithium chloride in 1-propanol+water mixtures have been calculated for each temperature, and apparent molar volumes at infinite dilution have been evaluated. An empirical correlation for partial molar volumes of lithium chloride in 1-propanol+water mixtures with solvent composition and temperature has been derived.

Thermodynamic properties of water-β-cyclodextrin-dodecylsurfactant ternary systems

1995

Densities, heat capacities and conductivities of water-surfactant-β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) ternary systems were determined at 25°C. The surfactants studied were sodium dodecylsulfate (NaDS) and dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB). From conductivity data, apparent critical micelle concentrations (cmc*) and degree of ionization of micelles were obtained at a fixed β-CD concentration (mCD). From the cmc* value and that in water (cmc) the stoichiometry of the surfactant-β-CD complex was calculated. At a given mCD, the apparent molar volume Vϕ,CD and heat capacity Cϕ,CD of β-CD in the two surfactants were calculated as functions of surfactant concentration mS. For both NaDS and DTAB, Vϕ,CD incr…

Extravascular Lung Water Does Not Increase in Hypovolemic Patients after a Fluid-Loading Protocol Guided by the Stroke Volume Variation

2012

Introduction. Circulatory failure secondary to hypovolemia is a common situation in critical care patients. Volume replacement is the first option for the treatment of hypovolemia. A possible complication of volume loading is pulmonary edema, quantified at the bedside by the measurement of extravascular lung water index (ELWI). ELWI predicts progression to acute lung injury (ALI) in patients with risk factors for developing it. The aim of this study was to assess whether fluid loading guided by the stroke volume variation (SVV), in patients presumed to be hypovolemic, increased ELWI or not.Methods. Prospective study of 17 consecutive postoperative, fully mechanically ventilated patients dia…

Preamble Transmission Prediction for mMTC Bursty Traffic : A Machine Learning based Approach

2020

The evolution of Internet of things (IoT) towards massive IoT in recent years has stimulated a surge of traffic volume among which a huge amount of traffic is generated in the form of massive machine type communications. Consequently, existing network infrastructure is facing challenges when handling rapidly growing traffic load, especially under bursty traffic conditions which may more often lead to congestion. By proactively predicting the occurrence of congestion, we can implement necessary means and conceivably avoid congestion. In this paper, we propose a machine learning (ML) based model for predicting successful preamble transmissions at a base station and subsequently forecasting th…

Artificial ventilation for basic life support leads to hyperventilation in first aid providers.

2003

The 'Guidelines 2000 for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care - International Consensus on Science' recommend an artificial ventilation volume of 10 ml/kg bodyweight (equivalent to a tidal volume of 700-1000 ml) without the use of supplemental oxygen in adults with respiratory arrest. For first aid providers using the mouth-to-mouth or mouth-to-nose-ventilation technique, respectively, a ventilation volume of approximately 9.6 l/min results. Additionally, a deep breath is recommended before each ventilation to increase the end-expiratory oxygen concentration of the air exhaled by the first aid provider. To investigate the effects of these recommendations in health…
