Article Synopsis
- Bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) is a non-invasive technique for assessing fluid volumes, specifically used to compare measurements between heart failure (HF) patients and healthy individuals.
- In a study of 64 HF patients and 69 healthy controls, significant differences were found in extracellular fluid percentage relative to total body water (ECF%TBW), suggesting altered fluid distribution in HF patients.
- The findings indicate that BIS can help classify fluid status in HF patients into normal, elevated, or fluid overload categories, aiding in their clinical management and risk assessment.
Intravascular Cooling in the Treatment of Stroke (ICTuS): early clinical experience.
J Stroke Cerebrovasc Dis
April 2008
We sought to evaluate the safety and feasibility of mild therapeutic hypothermia using an endovascular temperature management system in awake acute ischemic stroke patients. The Intravascular Cooling in the Treatment of Stroke (ICTuS) study was an uncontrolled, multicenter development and feasibility study of conscious patients (n = 18) presenting within 12 hours of onset of an acute ischemic stroke at 5 clinical sites in the United States. Enrolled patients were to undergo core temperature management using an endovascular cooling system to induce and maintain mild, therapeutic hypothermia (target temperature of 33.
