High-performance cardiopulmonary resuscitation (HP-CPR) is a technique that emphasizes delivering chest compressions at the correct depth and rate while avoiding excessive leaning and minimizing interruptions. Often referred to as high-quality CPR within the medical community, HP-CPR is a critical skill that anyone can learn to improve survival outcomes for sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) victims. ...
In the field of medical device manufacturing, the materials used in creating life-saving equipment must meet the highest standards of safety, reliability, and performance. Among these materials, fluoropolymer tubing has emerged as a critical component, playing a crucial role in various medical devices. Whether it’s for intravenous (IV) systems, catheters, or diagnostic equipment, ...
One of the more commonly asked questions sleep apnea experts answer is “Does sleeping sitting upright help with sleep apnea?” We already know that when a person with sleep apnea sleeps on their back, gravity closes or significantly narrows their airway (the space formed at the back of the mouth and upper throat areas). At the same time, the amount of air that enters their lungs ...
Do you have fragmented sleep all through the night? Do you wake up oftentimes at night, struggling to breathe? Is your partner tired of your heavy snoring and often reminds you to see a doctor? Well, if your chronic, frequent snoring is associated with sleep apnea, there are a number of factors and issues to be aware of. Basically, it’s a matter of cause and effect with sleep apnea ...
Understanding Sleep Apnea and Its Types Sleep apnea is a sleep-related breathing disorder that results in poor sleep quality and can lead to daytime fatigue or sleepiness, forgetfulness, and irritability. According to the Mayo Clinic, there are 3 types of sleep apnea to be aware of as follows: OSA or obstructive sleep apnea is the more common form of the disorder and affects roughly 30% of ...
The cardiopulmonary system is recognized as one of the most essential physiological systems in the human body, with the responsibility of efficiently distributing blood and oxygen to every organ. The cardiopulmonary system is closely linked to human health. ...
Stroke, also known as transient ischemic attack or cerebrovascular accident, is an acute brain disease. Usually, a sudden rupture of a blood vessel in the brain or a blockage of a blood vessel that prevents blood from flowing to the brain can cause damage to brain tissue, resulting in a stroke. ...
Every second counts in any emergency, particularly those involving sudden cardiac events. Training in life-saving procedures becomes pivotal in ensuring that a victim has the best chance of survival. Two terms that often surface in discussions about cardiac emergencies are CPR vs. AED training. While both aim at preserving life during cardiac crises, they serve different functions and involve ...
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a life-saving technique that can mean the difference between life and death in critical situations. Learning how to perform CPR is a valuable skill that everyone should consider acquiring, as it can empower individuals to respond effectively during emergencies. If you’re wondering about the time commitment required for a CPR class, you’ve come to ...
This helps not only with the oxygenation of red blood cells, but also of plasma. As a result, the efficiency of the training process is highly increased, while also helping the body to rebuild the oxygen pathways in capillaries, improving blood flow and oxygen absorption. ...
The beneficial effects of hyperoxia supplementation on oxygen transport system capacity, lactic acid metabolism capacity, power output performance, and endurance exercise tolerance have been described in multiple previous studies (Sperlich et al., 2017; Cardinale and Ekblom, 2018). With regard to exercise performance, Knight et al. (1993) used a combination of femoral arterial ...
In addition to the pandemic, the digitization of healthcare is rapidly shifting clinical trials from analog to hybrid or fully decentralized clinical trials, catalyzing the development and implementation of digital health technologies to support clinical research. Digital endpoints not only support the decentralization of clinical trials but also provide a means to collect more sensitive, ...
We can now check not just our heart rate, but also our blood pressure, calories, blood sugar, and weight in the comfort of our own homes. ...

Doctors would typically recommend Holter monitors to patients who are experiencing heart-related complications such as palpitations and low blood pressure without any definite reason. A Holter monitor is also excellent when it comes to detecting heart arrhythmias or irregular heartbeats since it can continuously monitor patients even in the comfort of their own homes. ...

During pregnancy, the woman’s blood sugar is high but goes back to normal levels after giving birth. ...
Heart Attack A heart attack occurs when blood flow to the heart is blocked, typically because of a blood clot or plaque that built up in the arteries over time. Your heart muscle needs oxygen in order to function properly, so when blood flow is blocked, the heart muscle begins to die because of lack of oxygen. ...
A smart device can provide real-time information regarding different health parameters such as your heart rate and blood pressure. They can also show information regarding a person’s blood oxygen and glucose levels. ...

The signals from the Rockley sensor provided a stronger correlation with the control blood pressure readings from a cuff than standard PPG signals. Other smartwatches, such as the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3, can detect blood pressure using the PPG optical sensor to take readings. However, this method still requires cuff calibration. The addition of a ...
It is small in size, easy to carry, does not require special training, and can quickly detect blood glucose results at any time. The principles of the glucose oxidase method to determine glucose in serum are as follows: (1) GOD uses oxygen and water to oxidize glucose to gluconic acid and release hydrogen peroxide. Peroxidase (POD) decomposes hydrogen peroxide ...
I was interested in finding out if there was any way to deliver oxygenated blood to the tissues of the feet in these patients, and venous arterialization offered an opportunity to do this. ...
