Clinical Trial – Trial on the Impact of Technical Anesthetic in Pregnancies With Intrauterine Growth Restriction

by | Dec 21, 2015 | Clinical Trials, Fetal Bradycardia, HBOT Research

The combined spinal-epidural analgesia during the labor has been associated with changes in
fetal heart rate, which the opinions in literature are not fully consolidated and some
studies have failed to show an increase significant fetal bradycardia following the
combination lock. In addition, it’s not clear that these changes found may modify the
perinatal outcome in pregnancies who attend with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR),
since there are no studies comparing the techniques in this population.

Clinical Trial – Colloid Pre-Loading on D-Dimer During Cesarean Section Under Spinal Anesthesia

by | Dec 1, 2015 | Clinical Trials, Coagulation Defect; Bleeding, HBOT Research

Maternal hypotension is the most frequent complication of a spinal Anesthesia. The prevention
of spinal hypotension appears more likely to decrease the frequency and severity of
associated adverse maternal symptoms than the treatment of established hypotension.
Intravenous fluid administration prior to spinal anesthesia for caesarean section is accepted
standard practice. The choice of fluid depends on individual and institutional habit,
material cost (crystalloid is considerably cheaper) and the perceived relative benefits and
risks. Uncommon but potentially serious adverse effect of colloids is impaired coagulation.
Although pregnancy is associated with hypercoagulability, little is known about the effects
of colloid preloading on coagulation in pregnant patients.

Abstract: Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, nonirritant gas that accounts for numerous cases of CO poisoning every year from a variety of sources of incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons. These include poorly functioning heating systems, indoor...

Human Physiology in an Aquatic Environment.

by | Oct 2, 2015 | Stroke

Abstract: Water covers over 70% of the earth, has varying depths and temperatures and contains much of the earth’s resources. Head-out water immersion (HOWI) or submersion at various depths (diving) in water of thermoneutral (TN) temperature elicits profound...
