“…Traditional vital signs are temperature, pulse, blood pressure and respiratory rate, and they are essential as part of physical examination in medicine [1]. Non-physiological changes in the body are expressed through abnormalities of these signs.…”

Objective: To investigate perioperative changes in the cardiac parameters of anxiety, which are blood pressure and heart rate, in patients undergoing surgical extraction of third molars. Material and Methods: Patients who reported anxiety before scheduled procedures were monitored for cardiac parameters before, during and after the surgery. The obtained data were analyzed to determine if there is a certain pattern of change within these values in systemically healthy patients. Alterations in selected parameters with regard to duration and difficulty of operation were also studied. IBM SPSS Statistics was used for data analysis. Repeated-measures of analysis of variance (ANOVA), paired samples t-test and Kruskal-Wallis tests were applied and a significance level of 5% was assessed. Results: Difficulty was categorized as minimally, moderately or very difficult in 9, 28 and 3 patients respectively. Mean operation time was 36.18 minutes with a range of 8 to 91 minutes. Operation time showed no variations with different levels of difficulty (p = 0.268). No statistical differences in any of the parameters listed above could be identified. Conclusion: Despite the common belief that dental procedures initiate anxiety, this study reveals that physiological parameters of anxiety show no significant changes over the course of third molar surgery, likewise difficulty and duration of surgery do not cause noteworthy changes in these parameters.

“…Los datos de parámetros fisiológicos son adquiridos de un módulo de OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) multi-parámetros que entrega por UART los datos procesados de un pulsioxímetro (SPO2), derivas de Electrocardiogra-fía (ECG), sensor de temperatura (TEMP) y brazalete de presión no invasiva (PANI) [13], como se muestra en la Tabla 1. El módulo tiene una transmisión asíncrona de 115200 baudios utilizando un formato de encabezado o ID, datos, y suma de verificación o Checksum.…”

Resumen: El presente artículo hace una revisión de las tecnologías implementadas y la caracterización de un prototipo electrónico desarrollado en la Fundacion Cardiovascular de Colombia (FCV), para monitorización remota mediante el envío de datos de parámetros fisiológicos a través de redes celulares y visualización Web a través de internet. Tecnologías como la decodificación de tramas de datos con FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays), la utilización de redes celulares GSM, WCDMA, y el empaquetamiento por websocket.Palabras clave: Dispositivo médico, FPGA, telesalud, red móvil, websocket.Abstract: This paper reviews the implemented technologies and characterization of an electronic prototype developed by the FCV (Fundación Cardiovascular de Colombia) for remote monitoring with the transmission of physiological parameters through a mobile network and Web visualization through internet. Technologies such as data frames decoding using FPGA, the use of GSM and WCDMA mobile networks, and frame packaging with the websocket protocol.

“…Figure 5 shows how clinicians seek to overcome this challenge by increasing monitoring of patients during the nighttime hours. The majority of nighttime vital signs are SpO2 and pulse rate measurements as these are the least invasive, but also associated with the highest degree of uncertainty and noise (Elliott and Coventry 2012).…”

Identifying patients at risk of deterioration in the Joint Emergency Department

In recent years, Danish hospitals have merged their emergency facilities into Joint Emergency Departments. This poses new collaborative challenges across traditionally separated specialized departments, which now have to collaborate in a shared environment. Despite established protocols and patient monitoring regimes, as many as 31 % of non-critical patients deteriorate with potentially severe consequences. To understand why this may be, we conduct a field study with the aim of investigating what factors external to patients relate to the clinicians' ability to notice adverse events. We look at the case through the lenses of common information spaces. In particular, we apply Bossen's seven-parameter framework to discover new dimensions of how Emergency Departments and individual clinicians identify and respond to unforeseen events, and how they handle the associated cognitive challenges. We complement these findings with a review of a novel taxonomy for patient monitoring. Our contribution is the identification of four improvement areas for patient monitoring platforms in terms of support for the identification of patient deterioration.
