Voltmeter

Voltmeter

A voltmeter is an electrical device that measures the potential difference or voltage between two points. It is connected in parallel with the circuit element it is measuring. A parallel connection is used because elements in parallel experience the same potential difference. The voltmeter is represented by the symbol "V ".
An ideal voltmeter would have infinite resistance, so connecting it between two points in a circuit would not alter any of the currents. Real voltmeters always have finite...

Methods of Documentation VII: EMR

Methods of Documentation VII: EMR

Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) primarily center around electronically documenting patients' health information within a single healthcare organization or practice. They contain essential clinical data related to a patient's medical history, diagnoses, medications, treatment plans, lab results, and other pertinent information relevant to the specific encounter or episode of care. EMRs are designed to streamline documentation and workflow processes within individual healthcare settings,...

Flow Sheet

Flowsheets are valuable tools in nursing documentation. They enable healthcare professionals to efficiently record and monitor various patient assessments and measurements in a consolidated format.
Here's a closer look at the examples of flowsheets commonly used by nurses:

Automated Microbial Diagnostics

Automated Microbial Diagnostics

Automated diagnostic analyzers have transformed clinical microbiology by providing rapid and reliable methods for pathogen identification and antibiotic susceptibility testing. Among these systems, the Vitek 2 is widely used because it automates the traditionally labor-intensive processes of microbial identification (ID) and antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST), delivering standardized and timely results that are essential for effective patient care.Microbial Identification with ID CardsThe...

Equipments Used To Measure Blood Pressure

Equipments Used To Measure Blood Pressure

Direct Method
This invasive approach involves cannulating a peripheral artery. During each cardiac contraction, pressure generates mechanical motion within the catheter, transmitted through rigid, fluid-filled tubing to a transducer. This transducer converts mechanical motion into electrical signals displayed as waveforms on a monitor. An automatic flushing system prevents blood backflow. Due to the potential risk of unexpected arterial blood loss, this method is primarily used in intensive...

Guidelines For Measuring Vital Signs

Guidelines For Measuring Vital Signs

Following these guidelines can help nurses accurately measure vital signs, assess changes in patient conditions, and provide timely treatment when necessary. Adhering closely to the guidelines ensures the accuracy and reliability of the results.
Before taking a patient's vital signs, a nurse would consider and assess the patient's comfort level and ensure appropriate equipment is available.

Area of Science:

Clinical Chemistry
Medical Devices
Diabetes Technology

Background:

Point-of-care (POC) blood glucose testing is increasingly common in hospitals due to convenience and cost-effectiveness.
Traditional POC devices, designed for home use, present risks of cross-contamination and inadequate accuracy in multipatient hospital environments.
Existing accuracy standards for POC devices require re-evaluation for hospital settings.

Purpose of the Study:

To highlight current recommendations for POC blood glucose testing devices in hospitals.
To introduce and evaluate a new blood glucose meter designed to address the challenges of hospital use.
To assess the accuracy, interference, and disinfection robustness of the OneTouch® Verio®Pro meter.

Main Methods:

Review of current recommendations for POC blood glucose testing in hospital settings.
Focus on the OneTouch® Verio®Pro blood glucose meter as described by MacRury et al.
Evaluation of the meter's performance characteristics, including accuracy and resistance to disinfection.

Main Results:

The OneTouch® Verio®Pro meter demonstrates minimal interferences and good accuracy.
The device is noted for its robustness, capable of withstanding rigorous disinfection protocols.
While not yet US-approved, the meter represents an advancement in POC testing technology.

Conclusions:

The OneTouch® Verio®Pro meter offers a potential solution to the accuracy and cross-contamination issues associated with POC testing in hospitals.
Further evaluation and regulatory approval are needed, but the device shows significant promise for improving patient safety and testing reliability.
This new meter addresses critical needs for reliable and safe blood glucose monitoring in multipatient healthcare settings.
