A 3-year-old male with isovaleric acidemia presented for dental rehabilitation under general anesthesia. In times of stress, such as in the perioperative period, patients with isovaleric acidemia are at greater risk for morbidity and mortality from disordered metabolism, including glucose disturbances, hyperammonemia, hypocalcemia, and non-anion gap metabolic acidosis. Communication between the anesthesiology, dental, and endocrine teams allowed for safe and successful care of the patient.

Anesthetic management of a patient with isovaleric acidemia.

There is an unmet need for a non-invasive approach to diagnose hemorrhage early, before changes in vital signs occur. Non-Invasive Venous waveform Analysis (NIVA) uses a unique physiological signal (the peripheral venous waveform) to assess intravascular volume. We hypothesized changes in the venous waveform would be observed with blood loss in healthy adult blood donors and characterized hemorrhage using invasive monitoring in a porcine model.

Non-Invasive Venous waveform Analysis (NIVA) for monitoring blood loss in human blood donors and validation in a porcine hemorrhage model.

Clinical symptoms of heart failure commonly include fatigue, edema, and shortness of breath. Unfortunately, clinical monitoring has proven unreliable in predicting congestion and the need for hospitalization. Biosensing wearables have been developed as a potential adjunct to clinical signs and symptoms to detect congestion before it becomes severe thus preventing a heart failure hospitalization.
