ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN HEALTHCARE.pdfAnujkumaranit
Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. It encompasses tasks such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and language understanding. AI technologies are revolutionizing various fields, from healthcare to finance, by enabling machines to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence.
Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

3. Introduction
• Pulmonary artery catheters (also called as
Swan-Ganz catheter) are used for evaluation
of a range of condition
Although their routine use has fallen out of
favour, they are still occasionally placed for
management of critically ill patients
4. Physiological Measurements
• Direct measurements of the following can be
obtained from an accurately placed pulmonary
artery catheter(PAC)
– Central Venous Pressure(CVP)
– Right sided intracardiac pressures(RA/V)
– Pulmonary artery pressure(Pap)
– Pulmonary artery occlusion pressure (PAOP)
– Cardiac Output
– Mixed Venous Oxygen Saturation(SvO2)
5. • Indirect measurements that are possible:
– Systemic Vascular Resistance
– Pulmonary Vascular Resistance
– Cardiac Index
– Stroke volume index
– Oxygen delivery
– Oxygen uptake
6. Indications
• Diagnostic:
– Differentiation among causes of shock
– Differentiation between mechanisms of
pulmonary edema
– Evaluation of pulmonary hypertension
– Diagnosis of pericardial tamponade
– Diagnosis of right to left intracardiac shunts
– Unexplained dyspnea
7. • Therapeutic:
– Management of perioperative patients with unstable
cardiac status
– Management of complicated myocardial infarction
– Management of patients following cardiac
surgery/high risk surgery
– Management of severe preecclampsia
– Guide to pharmacologic therapy
– Burns/ Renal Failure/ Heart failure/Sepsis/
Decompensated cirrhosis
– Assess response to pulmonary hypertension specific
therapy
8. Contraindications
• Absolute:
• Infection at insertion
site
• Presence of RV assist
device
• Insertion during CPB
• Lack of consent
• Relative:
• Coagulopathy
• Thrombocytopenia
• Electrolyte disturbances
(K/Mg/Na/Ca)
• Severe Pulmonary HTN
9. Making decision to place pulmonary
artery catheter
• In critically ill or perioperative patients
decision to place a pulmonary artery catheter
should be based on patient’s hemodynamic
status or diagnosis
that cannot be answered satisfactory by
clinical or non-invasive assessment
10. Preparation
• Patient has to be monitored with continuous
ECG throughout the procedure, in supine
position regardless of the approach
• Aseptic precautions must be employed
• Cautions should be taken while cannulating
via IJV/ Subclavian vein
14. Technique
1. Aseptic precautions undertaken
2. Local infiltration done
3. Check balloon integrity by inflating with 1.5ml of
air
4. Check lumens patency by flushing with saline
0.9%
5. Cover catheter with sterile sleeve provided
6. Cannulate vein with Seldinger technique
7. Place sheath
8. Pass catheter through sheath with tip curved
towards the heart
15. 9. Once tip of catheter passed through
introducer sheath inflate balloon at level of
right ventricle
10. The progress of the catheter through right
atrium and ventricle into pulmonary artery
and wedge position can be monitored by
changes in pressure trace
11. After acquiring wedge pressure deflate
balloon
16.
17.
18. • Important tip:
– When advancing catheter- always inflate tip
– When withdrawing catheter- always deflate
– Once in pulmonary artery - NEVER INFLATE
AGAINST RESISTANCE - RISK OF PULMONARY
ARTERY RUPTURE
19. Interpretation of hemodynamic values
and waveforms
• Ensuring accurate measurements:
– Zeroing and Referencing
– Correct placement
– Fast flush test
20. • Zeroing and Referencing:
– PAC must be appropriately zeroed and referenced
to obtain accurate readings in supine
position/30 degrees semi-recumbent position
• Correct placement :
– By either pressure waveform/ fluoroscopic
guidance
22. Catheter waveforms and pressures
• Pressure waveforms can be obtained from
– Right atrium
– Right ventricle
– Pulmonary artery
23. • Right atrium:
– In presence of a a competent tricuspid valve, RA
pressure waveform reflect both
• Venous return to RA during ventricular systole
• RV End Diastolic Pressure
– Normal RA pressure: 0-7 mmHg
24.
25. • Elevated RA pressure:
– Diseases of RV( infarction/ cardiomyopathy)
– Pulmonary hypertension
– Pulmonic stenosis
– Left to right shunts
– Pericardial diseases
– LV systolic failure
– Hypervolemia
26. • Differentiating among etiologies depends on
– Clinical
– Radiographical
– Echocardiographic features
+
PAC findings
Eg: Increased RA Pressure and Mean pulmonary
Pressure PAH
Increased RAP and Normal Pa pressures RV
disease/ Pulmonary stenosis
27. • Abnormal RA waveforms:
– Tall v waves: Tricuspid Regurgitation
– Giant/ cannon a waves:
• Ventricular tachycardia
• Ventricular pacing
• Complete heart block
• Tricuspid stenosis
– Loss of a waves:
• Atrial fibrillation/ Atrial flutter
28.
29.
30. • Right Ventricle:
– Transitioning from SVC or RA to RV:
• Once balloon is inflated in the SVC/RA the catheter is
slowly advanced
When catheter tip is across tricuspid valve pressure
waveform changes and systolic pressure increases
31. • 2 pressures are typically measured in right
ventricular pressure waveform
– Peak RV systolic pressure 15-25mmHg
– Peak RV diastolic pressure 3-12 mmHg
32.
33. • As a general rule elevations in RV pressure:
– Diseases increasing pulmonary artery pressure
– Pulmonic valve disorders
– Diseases affecting right ventricle
• Pulmonary vascular and pulmonary valve
disorders a/w increased RV systolic pressures
• RV disorders – ischemia/infarction/failure – a/w
increased RV End diastolic pressure
34. • Pulmonary artery:
– The risk of arrhythmias is greatest while catheter
tip is in RV
Thus, catheter should be advanced from RV to PA
without delay
– When catheter tip passes pulmonary valve
Diastolic pressure increases and characteristic
dichrotic notch appears in waveform
35. • Normal pulmonary artery pressures:
– Systolic 15-25mmHg
– Diastolic 8-15 mmHg
– Mean 16 (10-22mmHg)
• Main components of PA tracing:
– Systolic and Diastolic pressure
– Dichrotic notch(due to closure of pulmonic valve)
36.
37. • Increase in mean pulmonary pressure:
– Acute:
• Venous Thromboembolism
• Hypoxemia induced Pulmonary Vasoconstriction
– Acute on Chronic:
• Hypoxemia induced pulm VC in patient with chronic
cardiopulmonary disease
– Chronic:
• Pulmonary hypertension
38. • Types of PHT:
– Primary
– Due to Heart Disease
– Due to Lung Disease
– Due to chronic venous thromboembolism
– Miscellaneous ( Sickle Cell Anemia)
39. Pulmonary arterial occlusion pressure
• Once catheter tip has reached PA, it should be
advanced until PAOP is identified by decrease
in pressure and change in waveform
The balloon should then be deflated and PA
tracing should reappear
If PCOP tracing persists catheter should be
withdrawn with definitive PA tracing obtained
40. • Final position of the catheter within PA must
be such that PCOP tracing is obtained
whenever 75-100% of 1.5ml maximum
volume of balloon is insufflated
– If < 1ml of air is injected and PAOP is seen then it
is overwedged needs to be withdrawn
– If after maximal inflation fails to result in PCOP
tracing or after 2-3 seconds delay too proximal
– advanced with balloon inflated
41. • PCWP/PAOP interprets Left atrial pressures
more importantly – LVEDP
– Best measured in
• Supine position
• At end of expiration
• Zone 3 (most dependent region)
– Normal PCWP- 6-15 mmHg ; Mean :9mmHg
45. • Decreased PCWP:
– Hypovolemia
– Obstructive shock due to large pulmonary embolus
• Abnormal waveforms
– Large a waves:
• MS
• LV systolic /diastolic function
• LV volume overload
• MI
– Large v waves - MR
46. • Calculation of cardiac output:
– 2 methods
• Thermodilution method
• Fick’s Method
– Better measurement with Cardiac index
• Normal – 2.8- 4.2 l/min/m2
50. • Related to insertion of PAC:
– Arrhythmias (most common- Ventricular/ RBBB)
– Misplacement
– Knotting
– Myocardial/valve/vessel rupture
• Related to maintenance and use of PAC:
– Pulmonary artery perforation
– Thromboembolism
– Infection
