Randomized Controlled Trial
Effects of different fresh gas flows on carboxyhemoglobin levels: non-invasive carbon monoxide monitoring: A randomized clinical trial.
To observe the effect of different fresh gas flows (FGF) on carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) levels non-invasively and continuously and to determine the contribution of the smoking status to intraoperative carbon monoxide (CO) accumulation and respiratory complications. ⋯ If the CO2 absorbent is properly preserved in patients who are administered LFA, there will be no risk of CO accumulation even in chronic smokers.ClinicalTrials.gov REG. No.: NCT04832256.

Randomized Controlled Trial
"Smart Optometry" phone-based application as a visual acuity testing tool among pediatric population.
To evaluate the validity of a smartphone-based application for visual acuity (VA) testing in children and to compare parent and clinician-performed VA to standard VA assessment. ⋯ "Smart Optometry" phone application was found to be an acceptable home-based VA testing tool with good inter-rater reliability for young children showing good sensitivity in detecting subnormal VA, but lower sensitivity in detecting amblyopia.
