Article Synopsis
- A new fluid-filled pressure wire, Wirecath, was tested to see if it could reduce measurement errors caused by hydrostatic pressure in the coronary system.
- The study involved 45 patients undergoing coronary angiography, comparing Wirecath with a conventional pressure wire and measuring their effectiveness and safety.
- Results showed that, while mean pressures differed significantly between the two wires, the Wirecath wire accurately avoided hydrostatic errors and was deemed safe for use.
Objectives: In this substudy of the DETO2X-AMI (An Efficacy and Outcome Study of Supplemental Oxygen Treatment in Patients With Suspected Myocardial Infarction) trial, the authors aimed to assess the analgesic effect of moderate-flow oxygen supplementation in patients with suspected acute myocardial infarction (AMI) treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and to study the effect of oxygen supplementation on the use of opiates and sedatives during PCI.
Background: Routine oxygen in normoxemic patients with AMI does not provide clinical benefit. However, oxygen may relieve ischemic pain.
