Structured light plethysmography measures asynchronous breathing patterns in patients with acute stroke (Meeting Abstract) (2016)
Journal Article
Gilchrist, & Roffe. (2016). Structured light plethysmography measures asynchronous breathing patterns in patients with acute stroke (Meeting Abstract). European Respiratory Journal, https://doi.org/10.1183/13993003.congress-2016.PA4156

Background
The extent of respiratory compromise following a stroke depends on any pre-existing respiratory illness and the aetiology, location and extent of the lesion. Acquired respiratory infection in subsequent days may alter respiratory function...

OBJECTIVE: To assess the variability in identifying the cavoatrial junction (CAJ) on chest X-rays (CXRs) amongst radiologists. METHODS: 23 radiologists (13 consultants and 10 trainees) assessed 25 posteroanterior erect CXRs (including 8 duplicates) a...

Introduction
Various prognostic models have been developed for acute stroke, including one based on age and five binary variables (‘six simple variables’ model; SSVMod) and one based on age plus scores on the National Institutes of Health Stroke Sca...

Perceptions of supported and unsupported prone-restraint positions (2016)
Journal Article
(2016). Perceptions of supported and unsupported prone-restraint positions. Journal of Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing, 172 -178. https://doi.org/10.1111/jpm.12295

UNLABELLED: WHAT IS KNOWN ON THE SUBJECT?: Although the use of prone restraint should be avoided, it may remain a last resort emergency intervention for violent behaviour in psychiatric settings. However, when used as a last resort, concerns remain a... Read More about Perceptions of supported and unsupported prone-restraint positions.
