“…The electrical properties of biological tissues have been of interest since 1894 and have been widely studied in the literature [ 1 , 2 ]. The electrical properties of biological tissue have been studied for several human organs [ 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ] and have been used to develop many therapeutic and diagnostic technologies [ 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 ].…”

“…The results of this paper will help improve the understanding of the tissue conductivity measured under different contact forces and could be broadly applicable to the design and optimization of novel diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Some of therapeutic and diagnostic technologies that can be impacted are electromagnetic dosimetry studies [ 12 , 13 ], pulsed-field ablation (electroporation) [ 14 ], electrical impedance spectroscopy [ 15 , 16 ], electrical impedance tomography (EIT) [ 17 , 18 ], tissue engineering and treatment monitoring [ 19 ].…”

The electrical properties of many biological tissues are freely available from the INRC and the IT’IS databases. However, particularly in lower frequency ranges, few studies have investigated the optimal measurement protocol or the key confounders that need to be controlled, monitored, and reported. However, preliminary work suggests that the contact force of the measurement probe on the tissue sample can affect the measurements. The aim of this paper is to investigate the conductivity change due to the probe contact force in detail. Twenty ex vivo bovine heart samples are used, and conductivity measurements are taken in the Left Atrial Appendage, a common target for medical device developments. The conductivity measurements reported in this work (between 0.14 S/m and 0.24 S/m) align with the literature. The average conductivity is observed to change by −21% as the contact force increases from 2 N to 10 N. In contrast, in conditions where the fluid concentration in the measurement area is expected to be lower, very small changes are observed (less than 2.5%). These results suggest that the LAA conductivity is affected by the contact force due to the fluid concentration in the tissue. This work suggests that contact force should be controlled for in all future experiments.

Background Tracheal intubation in critically sick patients presents a significant risk of complications attributable to variables such as respiratory failure, hemodynamic instability, and drug sensitivity. Present recommendations mostly depend on expert opinion and data from elective intubations, lacking substantial evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in critical care environments (ICU, ED, general wards). This systematic review sought to assess high-quality evidence-based methods for intubation in critically sick patients, concentrating on pharmacological agents, techniques, and equipment. Methods A thorough search of PubMed, BioMed Central, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Clinical Trials found pertinent randomized controlled trials examining treatments aimed at enhancing the success rate and safety of tracheal intubation in critically sick patients. A meta-analysis was conducted when applicable. Results Intubation problems in critically sick patients vary from 4.2% to 39%. Pre-oxygenation by non-invasive ventilation (NIV) has shown enhanced effectiveness over conventional techniques in extending safe apnea duration and minimizing desaturation. Although high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) enhanced comfort, its advantages for apneic oxygenation were restricted in this demographic. Etomidate and ketamine had equivalent safety and effectiveness as sedatives, whilst succinylcholine and rocuronium showed similar success rates as neuromuscular blocking drugs. The sniffing position outperformed the ramping position for laryngoscopy.
