Accurate lead placement is invaluable, and makes a significant impact on appropriate care trajectory, or misdiagnosis with unnecessary utilization of resources. A common finding associated with V1 / V2 malposition is P wave inversion, and rSr’ QRS with T wave inversion -- potentially leading clinicians to suspect Brugada pattern, for example, when no such entity exists.

A team at the University of Michigan has developed a coating for frequently touched surfaces that can rapidly kill a wide array of pathogens, including MRSA and SARS-CoV-2. The technology incorporates polyurethane that contains crosslinked compounds from essential oils with wide-spectrum anti-microbial action. The researchers fine-tuned the crosslinking process so that the oils were available to kill microbes but not sufficiently free to evaporate rapidly.

Researchers at Rice University have developed a pneumatic assistive device for people with disabilities. The technology includes an air pump that is mounted in the wearer’s shoe, providing pneumatic power with each step. This power is stored in a wearable belt that includes an “arm” that can reach out and grip items when activated. The device may be very practical for people with arm weakness who struggle to lift objects.

Researchers at MIT have developed an AI system that can diagnose Parkinson’s disease and track its progression, simply by monitoring someone’s breathing patterns as they sleep. The device looks like an internet router and can be mounted on the wall in a bedroom. It emits radio waves and then a neural network analyzes the reflected waves to assess breathing patterns.

Background: Hypoxemia and hypoperfusion are important factors in outcomes after ROSC. While hypoxemia (SpO2 <90%) is clearly deleterious, it is unclear if hyperoxia is beneficial. Recent studies on patients requiring critical care have demonstrated that hyperoxia is harmful and instead we should be targeting normoxia (SpO2>93%). Similarly, while it is clear hypotension/hypoperfusion will result in worse outcomes, it is unknown whether we should be targeting higher blood pressures after
