Abstract TIPS is a percutaneous procedure which diverts blood from the portal to the systemic circulation preventing rebleeding from
varices and stopping or reducing the formation of ascites. The choice of the anaesthetic technique is still a matter of debate.
Since January 2003, 150 consecutive TIPS were performed using total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA), (propofol/fentanyl or remifentanil),
endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation. Sixty-one patients were classified as ASA 2, 73 ASA 3, and 16 ASA 4. According
to CHILD classification, 96 patients were in Class A, 48 in Class B, 6 in Class C. Mean...

Abstract The aim of this paper is to extend the existing literature about efficiency measurement in primary health care with the application
of a recently developed method to deal with exogenous variables. In this context, these variables are represented by the main
characteristics of the covered population. The use of this technique allows calculating more accurate efficiency scores that
can reflect the performance of units more properly. Our results show that the inclusion of these variables in the evaluation
has a great impact on both the values of efficiency scores and the rank of units. This analysis ha...

As a regional coordinating hospital, however, Grady was also charged with distributing Tamiflu antiviral medicine, and that proved challenging.

But the needs and expectations of patients with chronic conditions and of healthcare professionals who care for those patients have changed considerably since remote patient monitoring devices were first introduced. To fulfill these needs, emerging technologies must go far beyond simply monitoring standard vital signs, or just adding new technical features.
