Oral Ovulation Induction Agents Combined With Low-Dose Gonadotropin Injections And Intrauterine Insemination: Cost- And Clinical Effectiveness, Ginny Ryan, V. Moss, W. Davis, Amy Sparks, A. Dokras, Bradley Van Voorhis
Oral Ovulation Induction Agents Combined With Low-Dose Gonadotropin Injections And Intrauterine Insemination: Cost- And Clinical Effectiveness, Ginny Ryan, V. Moss, W. Davis, Amy Sparks, A. Dokras, Bradley Van Voorhis
Amy E.T. Sparks
OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of different induction protocols involving gonadotropins with intrauterine insemination (IUI). STUDY DESIGN: We performed a retrospective chart review of 648 IUI cycles. Some patients had gonadotropin injections alone before human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and IUI (human menopausal gonadotropin protocol); others were given oral medications, then gonadotropins before hCG and IUI (combination protocol). Outcomes included pregnancy rates, multiple birth rates, endometrial thickness, number of ovarian follicles, injection days, ampules of gonadotropins and cost. RESULTS: The combination protocol was more cost-effective. In first cycles, pregnancy rates, multiple birth rates, number of large follicles produced and …

A Placebo-Controlled Randomized Trial Of The Terbutaline Pump For Prevention Of Preterm Delivery, K. Wenstrom, C. Weiner, D. Merrill, Jennifer Niebyl
A Placebo-Controlled Randomized Trial Of The Terbutaline Pump For Prevention Of Preterm Delivery, K. Wenstrom, C. Weiner, D. Merrill, Jennifer Niebyl
Jennifer R Niebyl
To determine the efficacy of the terbutaline pump for the prevention of preterm delivery, patients in preterm labor defined by progressive cervical change underwent intravenous magnesium sulfate tocolysis (with or without oral indomethacin, as necessary), and once labor was arrested, were randomized to one of three treatment arms: terbutaline by pump, saline by pump (blinded), or oral terbutaline. If recurrent preterm labor occurred despite maximization of therapy, the treatment arm was determined and therapy was changed; saline pump and oral terbutaline were switched to terbutaline pump, terbutaline pump was switched to oral terbutaline. Patients who continued to labor were readmitted …

Predictors Of Topical Anesthetic Effectiveness In Children, Charmaine Kleiber, D. Schutte, Ann Mccarthy, M. Floria-Santos, J. Murray, Kirsten Hanrahan

Some children report significant pain with peripheral intravenous catheter (IV) insertion, despite the appropriate use of topical lidocaine anesthetics. This analysis of data from an existing study identified factors related to variation in topical anesthetic effectiveness used for IV insertion. The children (n = 218) in this investigation were 4 to 10 years old and undergoing a scheduled IV insertion. Inclusion criteria were (1) topical anesthetic was used according to manufacturer's recommendations, (2) DNA material was available, and (3) child completed a self-report measure of pain intensity (Oucher scale). Low pain phenotype was defined as a pain intensity score of …

Case Report Of Latex Aerosolization From A Transesophageal Echocardiogram Machine, B. Muller, Victoria Steelman
Case Report Of Latex Aerosolization From A Transesophageal Echocardiogram Machine, B. Muller, Victoria Steelman
Victoria J. Steelman
Aerosolized natural rubber latex proteins produce latex sensitization and can cause acute allergic reactions in susceptible individuals. The objective of this study is to describe measures that should be taken to ensure a latex-safe hospital environment. A case of latex-induced anaphylaxis prompted a survey of air quality in acute care areas of a major tertiary health care center that had eliminated the use of powder-free latex gloves years earlier. Six air samples were collected using pre- and postcalibrated sampling pumps operating at 2.7 L/minute. Samples were collected in duplicate on three-piece 37-mm Teflon filters in open-faced cassettes and tested for …
