In response to the increased volume of injured geriatric patients presenting to trauma
centers, the American Association for Surgery of Trauma (AAST) established the Ad Hoc …

ABSTRACT Recently the Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care changed the
guidelines on fluid use in hemorrhagic shock. The current strategy for treating hemorrhagic …

Objectives: Tissue oxygen saturation and peripheral perfusion index are proposed as early
indirect markers of hypovolemia in trauma patients. Hypovolemia is associated with …

Introduction Early alterations in tissue oxygenation may worsen patient outcome following
traumatic haemorrhagic shock. We hypothesized that muscle oxygenation measured using …

In this study we investigated the responsiveness of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)
recordings measuring regional cerebral tissue oxygenation (rSO 2) during hypoxia in apneic …

Numerous endpoints are available; however, no single endpoint is universally applicable.
Damage control resuscitation strategies have demonstrated improved survival, hemostasis …

Clinical monitoring of shock mainly depends on blood-oxygen-indices obtained from
invasive blood sample tests. The central internal jugular central vein oxygenation level …

Purpose Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is an emerging technology that can measure
tissue oxygen saturation levels (StO2) and has many potential clinical applications. NIRS …

The aim of this study was to compare tissue oxygen saturation as measured by INVOS® and
InSpectra™ during a vascular occlusion test (VOT) in the same subject. Twenty healthy …

Developed by UK and US anesthetists with extensive experience in theater, this book
describes the latest anesthesia techniques, practices, and equipment used in current …
