Continuous monitoring of specific metabolite and drug levels within a patient's blood can contribute to shorter hospital stays and more successful treatment of both chronic and acute diseases. Intravenous microdialysis is an attractive technology for continuous venous blood sampling that can be used to manage tight glucose control and to sample a large variety of molecules from human blood. In combination...
Tightly controlling blood glucose in selected patients has been shown to significantly decrease complications such as infection, neurologic injury, and respiratory failure. Intravenous microdialysis has been used to continuously monitor glucose levels yet variable recovery may occur due to probe fouling, osmosis, and ultrafiltration. A portable microdialysis system is presented that: (1) uses retrodialysis...
Endotracheal intubation, or placement of a tube into the airway (windpipe), is a commonly performed procedure. In most cases it can be managed with simple equipment by persons with basic training. However, in 1 - 5% of intubation attempts under controlled conditions and up to 10 - 30% of attempts during emergencies and out-of-hospital cases, there is ldquothe difficult airway.rdquo This situation...
A silicon-based microdialysis chip that integrates sample acquisition and fractionation is demonstrated in this paper. A porous cellulose acetate film, created using the phase separation process, is suspended over silicon microchannels. Microfluidic fractionation is accomplished with passive microfluidic valves that are used to direct the dialysate into microfabricated collection chambers
