Critical Care Posters ISESSION TYPE: Poster PresentationsPRESENTED ON: Saturday, March 22, 2014 at 01:15 PM - 02:15 PMPURPOSE: Opioid-induced respiratory depression (OIRD) and post-operative apnea (POA), can lead to increased post-operative complications. Identification of OIRD and POA remains difficult with current monitoring technology. A novel, non-invasive, Respiratory Volume Monitor (RVM) that provides continuous, real-time, measurements of minute ventilation (MV), tidal volume (TV) and respiratory rate (RR), is now available. The RVM was utilized to detect the effect of opioids on respiratory status and apneic breathing patterns. ⋯ Diane Ladd: Employee: Repiratory Motion, Inc Jenny Freeman: Employee: Respiratory Motion, Inc., Shareholder: Respiratory Motion, Inc.

COPD Epidemiology & Physiology PostersSESSION TYPE: Poster PresentationsPRESENTED ON: Saturday, March 22, 2014 at 01:15 PM - 02:15 PMPURPOSE: Common techniques used to measure lung volumes may yield inaccurate results in patients with large bullae. Plethysmography may overestimate while gas dilution may underestimate functional lung volumes. Auto Smart Segmentation (SS) is used by radiation physicists to accurately map lung portions receiving radiation therapy. It uses contouring methodology to trace and accurately measure volume of contoured anatomic structures. Hypothesis. Contouring of bullae on thoracic Computed Tomography (CT) and digital subtraction of contoured volumes using SS will yield accurate lung volumes unaffected by technical limitations or patient effort. ⋯ The following authors have nothing to disclose: Basim Dubaybo, Sikandar AnsariNo Product/Research Disclosure Information.
