The application of potassium selective electrodes in the intensive care unit.

Recent advances in analytical electrochemistry have provided highly selective potassium ion exchangers and robust polymeric membranes that can be used to measure the potassium activity in plasma or whole blood. The relationship between the activity measurement and the more familiar concentration measurement is explored. The ion selective electrode (ISE) has certain practical advantages and these have been studied in relation to their use in an intensive care unit. The application of these membranes to the continuous measurement of potassium in the circulation is discussed.

Intravascular oxygenation with the IVOX.

Improvements in hollow fibre gas transfer membranes have enabled the development of an intravascular oxygenator which for the first time provides gas exchange without the need for an extracorporeal circuit. We describe all aspects of the clinical utilization of the intravascular oxygenator device.

A surgeon's view of adult respiratory distress syndrome.

Adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is of interest to the cardiac surgeon because cardiopulmonary bypass has been considered to be both a cause and a treatment of ARDS. One simple resolution of this paradox is that neither belief can be supported on the available evidence. However, the position is not clear-cut.

When to operate in chronic aortic valvar regurgitation.

Chronic aortic valvar regurgitation is a particular problem with heart disease because symptoms develop insidiously and are too severe when the first opportunity arises for a low risk operation. The disease may run a long benign course, but delayed surgery may result in the failure to halt progression of left ventricular failure.

Insertion of a chest drain: how to do it.

Drainage of the pleural space with a chest drain is a commonly required procedure, but complications are common, and management of the drain is often unsatisfactory. This article aims to give guidance on avoiding complications by safe technique and resolving any subsequent problems.
