As the leak level increased, three ventilators (C3, G5, and VN500) showed marked differences between the delivered and displayed VT.
Bert taught us all the difference between words delivered with passion, and words delivered as if read from a sheet of paper.
For example, the difference between a delivered CRRT dose of 30 and 35 ml/kg/hour may be too subtle, or could be criticised for being within a calculation error.
However, we cannot exclude that this reflected unmeasured or unknown clinical or mechanical factors occurring during CRRT (for example, an undetected machine error at the time of sampling or a difference between the prescribed and delivered effluent flow rate); however, this also reflects clinical reality.
Such variations in the difference between the planned and the delivered PG doses justify the development of tools to target the right patients benefiting the most of the ART strategy.
However, the uncertainties resulting from DIR are lower than the difference between the planned and the delivered doses at the position of the LMs, showing that DIR could be useful to detect over- or underirradiation.
However, in the case of delivery speed, what's the difference between "delivered slowly" and "delivered at normal speed"?
In a recent preliminary collaborative study [ 10] we reported that there was no significant difference between prescribed and delivered ultrafiltration rate (both in ml/min and in l/hour), which was related to the reduced down-time associated with the technique.
Now, I can tell the difference between delivering at home and in a hospital under the care of a skilled birth attendant".
V O2 may be calculated using Fick's principle as the difference between the rates of oxygen delivered and oxygen leaving the tissues: V O2 = cardiac index × (Ca O2 - Cmv O2), where CmvO2 is the oxygen content of mixed venous blood.
