Key Points Clinical Specialty Areas: 1: Cardiac Catheterization Labs diagnostic: Coronary Angiography therapeutic: Angioplasty 2: Electrophysiology (EP) Labs problems and treatment of the conduction system of the heart diagnosis of arrhythmias and other abnormal ECGs 3: Sleep Study Labs multiple parameters are monitored stages of sleep; NREM & REM 4: Hyperbaric Chambers Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy; HBOT Chambers can be “hard” or “soft” pressures can be up to 6 bar (~87 psi) Oxygen usually delivered in a ‘helmet’ sealed at the neck Chamber is pressurized with air (not oxygen) treatment of: decompression for nitrogen narcosis (“The Bends”) CO poisoningwound healing, esp gangrene burnsinfection abatement

1: Cardiac Catheterization Labs Refs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kY5gKdFWT3k Coronary Angiography (Cardiac Catheterization)2:40 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veP5R-pzJVk Angioplasty0:54
5
Cath labs as a diagnostic service: - Confirm suspected coronary artery disease or valve problems > inject contrast agents to visualize vessels and chambers - Measure intra-arterial and intra-ventricular pressures - Perform biopsies And as a therapeutic service: - perform balloon angioplasty > percutanenous transluminal cardiac angioplasty (PTCA) (through skin; across wall) - placement of stents

Major players in Cath Labs: - Philips (was Witt <2006) - GEMS(General Electric) - Siemens

Major players in EP Labs: (hardware and software) - GEMS (was Pruka) - Philips

3: Sleep Study Labs
23
Sleep Studies have become a major business - Clinical indications – airway problems (snoring, obstructions) neurological disease (narcolepsy, Restless Leg Syndrome) - Obesity & life-style issues - Multiple clinics in every city now - Staffed by MD’s, RN’s, and PSG techs - Registered Polysomnograhic Techs - RPSGT Sleep deprivation has been involved in many major disasters, accounts for low productivity, social issues, psychological issues, etc.
25
Multiple parameters are monitored: EEG EOG (both sides )ocular EMG face muscles ECG SpO 2 Respiratory Effort Respiratory Gas Flows Limb Movement (EMG) Audio for snoring etCO 2 IR video cameras
31
Stages of Sleep: Non-REM (Rapid Eye Movement) Sleep (NREM) : Stage 1 - 5-10 minute transition from awake to sleepy, slowed EEG Stage 2 - Deep sleep, some thoughts and images; 50% of time Stage 3 - Deepest sleep, slowed heart rate & breathing, delta EEG only REM Sleep : - 20 – 25% of total sleep time - episodes of increasing length - little muscle tone, almost paralysis - irregular breathing, faster heart rate - increased brain O 2 consumption - dreaming
43
Sleep-Lab specific equipment makers: - Nicolet - Sandman - ProTech - Oxford - Embla - include software as well as hardware
44
4: Hyperbaric Chambers “Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy”: HBOT Used for treatment of - decompression for nitrogen narcosis (“The Bends”) - CO poisoning - wound healing, esp gangrene - burns - infection abatement
45
Chambers can be “hard” or “soft ” - most clinics use hard chambers - greater capacity, more efficient - soft chambers usually urethane-&-nylon coated acrylic with sealable zipper Oxygen usually delivered in a ‘helmet’ sealed at the neck Chamber is pressurized with air (not oxygen) - pressures can be up to 6 bar (~87 psi) - treatments can be 1 to 2.5 hours - depending on indications, patient may get 10 to 20 treatments - staff refer to each treatment as a “dive” - sessions can be from $500 to >$1000 each

Medical devices in large Hyperbaric Chambers – - usually basic monitoring - typically SpO2, with ECG &/or NIBP - ventilator usually available - challenge is to connect the signal cables thru the chamber bulkhead for reading and recording outside - chamber conditions monitored separately
