Although fetal heart monitoring is used to assess fetal status during labor, continuous electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) may be associated with an increase in interventions. (nursingcenter.com)
Respiratory4
A barrier to assess the relative effectiveness of respiratory therapies has been insufficient accurate, reliable, and sensitive outcome measures. (soton.ac.uk)
Healthcare providers must have the knowledge and skills to accurately assess and differentiate between various respiratory illnesses to provide timely intervention and treatment. (ceufast.com)
Associations among factors were assessed through correlation analysis, and binary logistic regression was done to predict childhood acute respiratory infections. (hindawi.com)
Additionally, objectives will include assessment and management of patient in respiratory distress (includes assessing breath sounds & assisting with inhaler). (centura.org)
When palpable pulses are not present, a handheld Doppler device may be used to assess circulation. (medscape.com)
Ultrasound4
Measuring the heartbeat and respiration of small conscious animals is important for assessing their health and behavior, but present techniques such as electrocardiogram (ECG), ultrasound, and auscultation rely on close skin contact with the animal. (awionline.org)
1-3 Our aim was to determine if handheld ultrasound (HUS) or digital stethoscope (DS) could offer a novel method of quickly and effectively assessing HR in the delivery suite. (bmj.com)
Two physicians attended each delivery, one assessed the HR by stethoscope auscultation and the second assessed the HR using either HUS (Mortara, Signos RT Personal Ultrasound), DS (Littmann 3200, 3M, USA) or ECG (IntelliVue MP5, Philips, The Netherlands). (bmj.com)
Documentation of Data: data collected during health observation and assessment must be documented so that it can be used to: (1) assess the patient's condition, and (2) inform the care which is appropriate for that patient. (privateessaywriters.com)
