  1. Radiation Dose Estimation for Pediatric Patients Undergoing Cardiac Catheterization

    <p>Patients undergoing cardiac catheterization are potentially at risk of radiation-induced health effects from the interventional fluoroscopic X-ray imaging used throughout the clinical procedure. The amount of radiation exposure is highly dependent on the complexity of the procedure and the level …

    … the total number of HAPUs by 50% in 2015, the cardiac catheterization lab (CCL) was implicated in 30% of those reported. My objective is to improve patient safety by reducing the number of HAPUs acquired in the CCL to 0% by three months using a prophylactic foam dressing protocol.</p> <p>The …

    … foals. Hypotension may be a function of low cardiac output or increased cardiac output and decreased systemic vascular resistance. In the first instance, treatment would include fluids and/or inotropes and in the second, fluids and/or vasopressors. Therefore, cardiac output measurements are …

  8. Optimizing Value from Cardiac Rehabilitation: A Cost-Utility Analysis Comparing Age, Sex and Clinical Subgroups

    Background: Cardiac rehabilitation reduces mortality and subsequent cardiac events in patients with coronary heart disease. While economic evaluations of cardiac rehabilitation have been published, none consider clinical, age and sex subgroups to demonstrate how the cost-effectiveness varies. …
