Analysis of epidemiological profile and ventilator parameters of postpartum women submitted to mechanical ventilation guided by electrical impedance tomography

ABCS health sci; 45 (), 2020
INTRODUCTION: Pregnancy-related diseases have aggravated the situation of postpartum women, who end up using Mechanical Ventilation (MV) when admitted to Intensive Care Units (ICU). Although MV has benefits, it is associated with deleterious effects that can be minimized with the use of Electrical Impeda...

Concordance in prediction body fat percentage of Brazilian women in reproductive age between different methods of evaluation of skinfolds thickness

ABSTRACT Objective To assess the utility of bioimpedance (BIA) and skinfolds thickness (SF) in body fat percentage measuring (%BF) compared to the reference method dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in Brazilian reproductive age women, as well as to estimate of inter- and intra-observer precision f...

The use of electrical bioimpedance and the phase angle in the evaluation the nutritional status of patients with cancer: an integrative review

Diagn. tratamento; 25 (1), 2020
Contexto: Pacientes com câncer podem apresentar involução do estado nutricional devido a alterações metabólicas determinadas pela doença e ao tratamento, e a avaliação nutricional pode identificar precocemente a desnutrição e permitir intervenção adequada. O uso da bioimpedância elétrica t...

Body composition among long distance runners

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE The current study aimed to examine the body composition of adult male ultra-trail runners (UTR) according to their level of participation (regional UTR-R, vs. national UTR-N). METHODS The sample was composed of 44 adult male UTR (aged 36.5±7.2 years; UTR-R: n=25; UTR-N: n=19). Body...
