A cost-effective screening method for preoperative hyperglycemia.

abstract：:Monitoring with pulse oximetry might improve patient outcome by enabling an early diagnosis and, consequently, correction of perioperative events that might otherwise cause postoperative complications or even death. The aim of the study was to clarify the effect of perioperative monitoring with pulse oximetry and to i...

abstract：BACKGROUND:Noticeable changes in vital signs indicating hypovolemia occur only after 15% of the blood volume is lost. More sensitive variables (e.g., cardiac output, systolic pressure variation and its Δdown component) are invasive and difficult to obtain in the early phase of bleeding. Lately, a new technology for con...
