Fluke Biomedical, the global leader in medical device quality assurance systems, launched Advantage Training, an online centre aimed at providing accessible training to the biomedical engineering community. The Advantage Training Centre features curriculum that covers the full spectrum of medical device preventive maintenance and quality assurance for biomedical and diagnostic imaging equipment. Training is available […]
Carestream is partnering with leading orthopedic and sports medicine specialists to develop a new three-dimensional medical imaging system (not available for commercial sale) for capturing images of patient extremities (knees, legs, feet, arms and hands). Initial clinical studies will focus on the advantages of using cone beam CT (CBCT) technology in the diagnosis and treatment […]
The technology for creating new tissues from stem cells has taken a giant leap forward. Two tablespoons of blood are all that is needed to grow a brand new blood vessel in just seven days. This is shown in a new study from Sahlgrenska Acadedmy and Sahlgrenska University Hospital. Just three years ago, a patient […]
In a study, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) and the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery at the St. Olavs Hospital in Trondheim, Norway have shown that shutting off the blood supply to an arm or leg before cardiac surgery protects the heart during the operation. The research group wanted to see how the muscle […]
When retrievable inferior vena cava (IVC) filters were approved for use in the United States in 2003 to prevent pulmonary embolism among patients unable to receive the standard blood thinner treatment, many experts anticipated most of them would be removed when no longer needed and IVC filter complications would decrease. Instead, the number of IVC […]
When it comes to disposable laryngoscope blades, the possibility of breakage is not normally a consideration. A study by a Nova Scotia research team has revealed, however, that although most metal disposable blades meet standards set by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), their plastic counterparts are not nearly as successful when it comes to […]
The transition from extensive use of intravenous (IV) sedation for interventional pain procedures to almost exclusive use of oral anxiolysis at an outpatient pain centre led to significant improvements in patient satisfaction and recovery times, a new study shows. But not all practitioners are on board with such a policy, citing potential safety issues.
Although sedatives are often administered before surgery, a randomized trial finds that among patients undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia, receiving the sedative lorazepam before surgery, compared with placebo or no premedication, did not improve the self-reported patient experience the day after surgery, but was associated with longer time till removal off a breathing tube […]
A simple screening tool predicts sepsis early in trauma patients and reduces mortality, according to a new study.
Inventors at Nottingham Trent University are using smart materials to develop a low-cost steerable medical device to help doctors insert a life-saving breathing tube into a patient
