VRI Ma exception proved to be sensitive to Ver changes in PEEP. compared in this study We, the distribution of his lung PEEP at different levels. We hypothesized that the Erh dependent increase in PEEP to improve recruitment assigned ngigen lung regions and should lead to increased Hten lung sounds in these areas.
METHODS. lung sound at peak times of inspiration was in three regions of the lung (apex and base stations. cards Lung seems PEEP evaluated received 0, 5 and 10 cm H2O were compared in 34 ventilated patients. were also rated cards of two repeated measurements at each PEEP level also . RESULTS. lung sound in the core areas increased was ht is F significant when increasing PEEP (paired t-tests. In addition, lung-sound system in the areas of fa limits have been reduced significantly. central pulmonary segments not with PEEP change to. In Even maps of repeated measurements on the same level of PEEP was not significantly different. the distribution of the contract.
advanced lung from apex to base in the Erh increase PEEP probably reflects an increased hte beaches determination in these areas. visual tracking system 0546 influx of patients in an emergency room waiting times SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCES EMERGENCY Vanstraelen1 K., C.

Patient satisfaction with emergency department (ED patients can be improved by reducing the wait time. In this paper, we have the impact of an ED-IT system, increases ltlich for all ED (medical and nursing staff evaluated and displaying a visual tracking system of all admissions to the emergency METHODS We retrospectively all the different waiting periods analyzed for all patients at the emergency site within a few periods and 3 months after installation the visual tracking system different waiting times were: WR .
