![]() ![]() The increasing use of POCT is particularly challenging for POCT suppliers. POCT in the ICU is currently used as complement to conventional laboratory services for the analysis of electrolyte and hemoglobin, but it is not a substitute, clearly limiting its impact and raising doubts about its relevance. Only 48 % of clinicians make clinical decisions based on the potassium results obtained using a BGA without waiting for confirmation from the central laboratory. Accordingly, a majority of intensivists do not base important clinical decisions on POCT results. Given the importance of laboratory test results on the final medical decision-making process, laboratory analysis errors largely contribute to the overall risk of error. Overdiagnosis of anemia or significant differences in electrolyte concentrations relative to central laboratory analyzers have been reported for POCT analyzers, whereas interchangeability was observed in others. Nevertheless, previous studies assessing the concordance of POCT with central laboratory testing have reported divergent findings. POCT provides an adequate solution to obtain immediate results at the bedside, as abnormal blood electrolyte or hemoglobin concentrations need to be promptly corrected for ICU patients. The primary objective of a blood gas analyzer (BGA) is to deliver accurate measures of blood gas levels (pH, pO 2, pCO 2) however, modern analyzers can currently measure additional parameters in the same blood sample, such as hemoglobin or electrolyte concentrations (sodium, potassium, chloride, and ionized calcium). Intensive care units (ICUs) have thus increasingly used POCT as a routine element of patient management, notably for blood gas analysis. ![]() POCT systems have been developed over the past few years and have enabled a wide range of tests to be rapidly and simply performed without using sophisticated central laboratory equipment. One of the major advantages of POCT is the reduction of the laboratory test turnaround time to rapidly treat the patient as appropriate. Point-of-care testing (POCT) can be defined as a rapid biological test near the site of care of a patient or at the bedside. We demonstrate that quality management focused on the preanalytical process and performed by the partners involved in the POCT can overcome these issues. We clearly demonstrate that an identical analyzer can provide results of varying quality depending on the local constraints of the ICUs. The improvement of the preanalytical process resulted in a substantial decrease of the bias for hemoglobin concentration measurements: −3 g/L in the 37-bed ICU. The quality approach was implemented in the 37-bed ICU and led to corrective actions that: (1) reduced the time for the POCT preanalytical phase (2) implemented a checklist to validate the preanalytical conditions (3) used technical innovations. However, biases for hemoglobin analyses were clearly affected by the preanalytical process: −3 g/L in the operating room, −5 g/L in a 10-bed ICU, and −19 g/L in a 37-bed ICU. Resultsīiases were clinically nonsignificant for potassium and sodium concentrations for all tested critical care units, relative to the reference method. A second comparison was performed on 278 paired blood samples in this unit. A quality improvement program was then implemented to improve the preanalytical POCT process for one ICU where there was poor agreement. The clinical significance of agreement was assessed using Bland–Altman plots. In three adult critical care units, 491 paired blood samples were analyzed for hemoglobin, potassium, and sodium concentrations by blood gas analyzers (identical reference) and the central laboratory. The aim of this study was to assess the reliability of results provided by point-of-care analyzers according to the organization of the care units and the preanalytical process. Most reported studies on POCT reliability have focused on analyzer performance rather than the preanalytical phase. However, previous studies comparing the concordance of POCT with central laboratory testing have reported divergent findings. Point-of-care testing (POCT) systems enable a wide range of tests to be rapidly performed at the bedside and have attracted increasing interest in the intensive care unit (ICU). ![]() ![]() You’d love to keep all of your guys every year, but it’s just not always possible." "But this is a business, and tough decisions have to be made with the cap. "How do you not love a guy that plays as hard as Alex Caruso does? He represents all of the right things," the Lakers' coach said before lamenting why the team lost him. He also had the second-highest plus-minus of anyone on the court (+28) because he altered shots, hustled, dived for loose balls and helped make life difficult for the Lakers.įrank Vogel called Caruso one of his favorite players he has ever coached. On Monday, he had zero points on 0-for-1 shooting, six rebounds, five assists and two steals in 34 minutes in his second start of the season. He does the small things that don't show up in stat sheets but greatly impact games. I try to go out there and prove that I'm supposed to be there." "That's something I've just carried with me every game that I play. "Thirty-two teams thought I wasn't good enough to play in the NBA," Caruso said, apparently so upset by the slight that he invented two extra teams. He then turned a two-way contract with the Lakers into a standard, two-year, $5.5 million deal by playing hard-nosed defense and leaving his heart on the court in every moment. He was undrafted out of Texas A&M in 2016. 2 pick in the 2017 NBA Draft to being shipped to New Orleans a couple of years later so Los Angeles could acquire Anthony Davis.Īs for Caruso, he has had to scrap and claw his entire career. And there's Lonzo Ball, who went from being pegged as the Lakers' savior when they selected him as the No. There's DeMar DeRozan, who acknowledged Monday that he has a chip on his shoulder because "people said I was washed for the last two years" with the San Antonio Spurs. ![]() There's Zach LaVine, who has never made it to the playoffs in seven NBA seasons.

If you have a business logo saved in a vector format, it can be resized to fit on a billboard with no problems or reduced to be printed on a ballpoint pen or business card. Photoshop is a great program for modifying already created images or graphics for example, photo editing since those projects will stay at a fixed size. Vectors are scalable images that can be sized as small or as large are you need them to be. Since vectors are based around formulas, a vector image can scale at high resolution to virtually unlimited sizes. Adobe Illustrator is advanced, vector-based editing software. “The key difference between vector and raster files comes down to utility.” In other words, don’t print an image from Instagram at poster size and expect it to look as crisp as it did onscreen. Because of this set number, if a raster file is printed at a larger dimension than what it was designed for, it will appear visibly grainy and pixelated because the dots that compose the image are forced to grow larger as the medium they’re printed on grows. Raster files are composed of a set number of pixels. The key difference between vector and raster files comes down to utility. svg: The Scalable Vector Graphics format is based in XML (a markup language used widely across the Internet that's readable by both machines and humans). It’s useful for the web, where it can be indexed, searched, and scripted.

Raster files are composed of the colored blocks commonly referred to as pixels. Vector files are images that are built by mathematical formulas that establish points on a grid. It’s important to understand when to use each image type and the best file extension for particular situations. ![]() Save it, share it, or keep editing it to make it your own. Your new image will download as an SVG file. Upload your image to automatically convert it to SVG format. Both image types may be saved with several different file extensions.

Pushing up the resonance will emphasise frequency around the cutoff point.As early as 1575, drone was defined as a lazy idle sluggard.

Add an amp envelope with a fast attack, then use a filter envelope to sweep the cutoff downwards quickly and you've got an instant house stab! 8. Once inside a sampler, drones can also form the basis of an original synth hit or chord. From here you can then play it at different pitches or use it as the basis for another sound - even another drone! You can defy the inflexibility of a drone by exporting your final layered creation as a new audio file and then importing it into a sampler (hardware or software). You could try applying sidechain compression to your drones (triggered from a kick drum) to make them work in a dance track. This has a long tradition in folk music, but works well in a range of other contexts. Pitched drones, due to their relatively unchanging sonic nature, will naturally try and pull melodies back to their root note, whether this is a well-defined bass tone or one implied by the other elements. While drones are often used as a key component of the overall sound design experience in film and TV, they are a worthwhile area to explore as part of more conventional songwriting. Include some low frequency roll-off on the bottom end of the wet signal to avoid muddiness. Design with delayĭelay helps smooth the rough edges of any sustained sound. You can access this first-hand from Lexicon hardware and software or a third-party alternative like Valhalla DSP's VintageVerb (above). Reverb pioneer Lexicon discovered that, by adding some pitch modulation into the reverb process, it was possible to add a pleasing and expansive sheen to some of its algorithms. Ideally, you want one that includes a modulation section. ![]() Algorithmic reverbs, rather than their realistic convolution counterparts, work best here. Given that much of what happens in drones is slow moving, ambient effects like delay and reverb can be piled on without too much worry. This helps carve out space for each one, emphasising what is required. Use filters to shape the different layers of your drone. iOS users can also access a wide range of interactive and generative music apps that can help expand their sonic drone repertoire. If you want even more control, Intermorphic's Mixtikl and Noatikl apps are based on techniques explored in SSEYO Koan, which found fame on Brian Eno's 1996 album Generative Music 1. Should you want to get more involved, this standalone app offers extensive MIDI control of its numerous parameters. The synthesis engine can be left to continually change without much user input. Siren Audio's Generative 2 software (above), for Mac and Windows, uses granular synthesis to turn an audio file or live audio input into an audio soundscape. Besides more traditional composition techniques, there are ways in which you can hand over most of the creative decisions to your computer. ![]() |
