The long term of objective of this proposed work is to develop a practical monitoring system which noninvasively and continuously measures every significant parameter associated with the transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide. the system would have the additional features of requiring minimal… More

The anesthesiologist records observations and events by hand during the course of an operation. two types of information are being recorded. type i involves comments from direct observation of the patient and comments about direct patient intervention such as drug entries. type ii involves indirect… More

During most surgical procedures the patient is paralyzed and must depend completely on the anesthesiologist to maintain such vital physiologic functions as breathing and heart rate. it is therefore not suprising that, with relatively few effective physiological monitors available to the… More

Because present methods for detection of pulmonary emboli utilize imaging techniques, the size of emboli detectable by these methods is limited by the inherent spatial resolution of x-ray and gamma cameras. microemboli (clots of the microcirculation) are therefore too small to be detected by… More
