The oxygen concentrator : an appropriate technology for treating hypoxaemic children in developing countries

RÉSUMÉ L'Organisation Mondiale de la Santé (OMS) recommande d'administrer l'oxygène par concentrateurs dans les pays en voie de développement (PVD), les cylindres posant des problèmes logistiques et financiers trop importants. Cette technologie a été proposée aux enfants d'un hôpital sénégalais (Ndioum) qui présentaient les critères d'oxygénation de l'OMS. Les bénéfices cliniques et financiers ont été majeurs. En revanche, les connaissances des soignants sur les diverses techniques d'administration d'oxygène ainsi que les prestations du service de maintenance étaient insuffisantes. L'implantation de concentrateurs doit être encouragée dans les PVD, mais doit respecter une stratégie englobant enseignement, maintenance et suivi de l'opération. Diverses actions correctrices ont été entreprises à Ndioum où plusieurs concentrateurs fonctionnent désormais régulièrement. Summary: The World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends supplying oxygen in developing countries by concentra¬tors because cylinders pose considerable logistic and financial problems. This technology was employed to treat children in a hospital in Ndioum, Senegal, who met the WHO oxygenation criteria. There were clear clinical and financial benefits, but neither the nurses' knowledge of the various techniques of oxygen supply nor the maintenance service were satisfactory. The use of concentra¬tors should be encouraged in developing countries. A strategy including technical training, maintenance and monitoring should be adopted. Corrective actions were undertaken in Ndioum, and several concentrators are now being used on a regular basis.

Defining the level of evidence for technology adoption in the localized prostate cancer pathway.

New technologies in prostate cancer are attempting to change the current prostate cancer pathway by aiming to reduce harms while maintaining the benefits associated with screening, diagnosis, and treatment. In this article, we discuss the optimal evaluation that new technologies should undergo to provide level 1 evidence typically required to change the practice. With this in mind, we focus on feasible and pragmatic trials that could be delivered in a timely fashion by many centers while retaining primary outcomes that focus on clinically meaningful outcomes.

CT dose optimization when changing to CT multi-detector row technology

The purpose of this article was to review the strategies to control patient dose in adult and pediatric computed tomography (CT), taking into account the change of technology from single-detector row CT to multi-detector row CT. First the relationships between computed tomography dose index, dose length product, and effective dose in adult and pediatric CT are revised, along with the diagnostic reference level concept. Then the effect of image noise as a function of volume computed tomography dose index, reconstructed slice thickness, and the size of the patient are described. Finally, the potential of tube current modulation CT is discussed.
