Biomarkers for soft tissue damage in a rigid and a soft-layered spineboard

In this study we want to investigate if there are differences in cytokine and mFABp production when using a rigid and a soft-layered spineboard, in relation to tissue-interface pressures. Furthermore, redness of the skin and experienced comfort are…

Pressure and tissue deformation while using a regular and a newly developed soft-layered long spineboard.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate if there are differences in the tissue-interface pressures, pressures inside the tissues and tissue deformation in the sacral area when volunteers lie on a regular spineboard versus a vacuum…

Forces exerted on upper and lower teeth during intubation: a randomized crossover trial comparing indirect videolaryngoscopy to direct laryngoscopy

Measuring the forces exerted on upper en lower teeth during classic (direct) and (indirect) (video)laryngoscopy.

Oropharyngeal space in videolaryngoscopy: a randomised crossover trial measuring remaining space adjacent to the video laryngoscope blade.

Measuring the space on the right side of the videolaryngoscope blade and the palatopharyngeal wall in a cohort of ASA I-III patients with a normal mouth opening (Mallampati I, II and III). We also want to investigate how this space differs from the…

The effect of syringe volume on blood gas analysis

The ultimate goal of our study is to reduce the amount of blood withdrawn for blood gas analysis, especially in the intensive care unit and in neonatal care by replacing regularly used 3 ml blood gas syringes with 1 ml blood gas syringes. The main…
