Data were collected on gestational age by ultrasound, date of initial ultrasound, duration of procedure (from first misoprostol dose to placental expulsion or surgical procedure, if performed), duration of hospital stay, timing and dosage of misoprostol and any other medications, and details of additional surgery, if performed.
Duration of procedure, duration of hypoxemia, number of attempts and increases in mean blood pressure were also similar between groups.
Duration of severe hypoxemia (HR< 90/min and Sp02<85%), duration of procedure, duration of hypoxemia (Sp02<85%), number of attempts and change in mean blood pressure were compared between groups.
Retrospectively, two groups were selected: Group A (n = 5), treated by hemofiltration (HF), with mean duration of procedures 57.1 ± 6.4 hours, effluent volume 66.0 ± 7.1 l/day; and Group B, treated by hemodiafiltration (HDF), mean duration 49.1 ± 5.7 hours, effluent volume 103.2 ± 3.5 l/day.
Gestational age by ultrasound, duration of surgical procedure, details of the procedure, and whether fetal expulsion occurred prior to surgery were noted.
Simulators should reduce the duration of procedures performed by undergraduate students or residents which is beneficial to both patient and practitioner [ 27].
Table 3 provides details of surgical treatments, duration of procedures, length of hospital stays, and complications.
In these units, the primary indication for tracheostomy is more likely to be refractory respiratory failure where gas exchange and hemodynamic stability may be more influenced by the technique and duration of the procedure, whereas in our study only 7% of patients required PEEP > 10 cmH2O at the time of the procedure.
Practical applications of this method may currently be constrained by the overall duration of the procedures (∼24 hr total), and by the low yield of monodisperse vesicles.
