Abstract

Created Out of Mind is an interdisciplinary project, comprised of individuals from arts, social sciences, music, biomedical sciences, humanities and operational disciplines. Collaboratively we are working to shape perceptions of dementias through the arts and sciences, from a position within the Wellcome Collection. The Collection is a public building, above objects and archives, with a porous relationship between research, museum artefacts, and the public. This pre-planning framework will act as an introduction to Created Out of Mind. The framework explains the rationale and aims of the project, outlines our focus for the project, and explores a number of challenges we have encountered by virtue of working in this way.

Abstract

UNLABELLED: Auditory evoked potentials are effected by benzodiazepines, as is cortical processing of auditory stimuli. The effect of benzodiazepines on auditory sensitivity has not, however, been studied. We designed the present study to investigate the effect of sedative doses of midazolam on pure tone and speech audiometry and on audiological reaction times in healthy volunteers. Thirty volunteers underwent baseline audiological assessment for pure tones and speech and had their audiological reaction times measured at 10 and 50 dB above their threshold hearing level at a frequency of 1 kHz. Subjects were then randomly assigned to one of two groups. Group A (n = 15) received midazolam (0.04 mg/kg) IV, and Group B (n = 15) received a similar volume of placebo IV. The audiological tests were repeated 5 min later, and performance was compared with baseline data. Scheffe post hoc tests were used to assess the significance of changes in each group. There was no pre- to posttest change in audiological performance in either the placebo group (P = 0.194) or the midazolam group (P = 0.957). Speech audiometry performance was likewise unaffected by midazolam (P = 0.154). Reaction time at the 10-dB and 50-dB sensation levels were both significantly prolonged after midazolam administration (P = 0.023 and P = 0.012, respectively). In this study, we demonstrate that sedation with midazolam (0.04 mg/kg) does not alter pure tone or speech audiometric thresholds, but it does significantly delay the reaction time to auditory stimuli. Medical practitioners should advise midazolam-sedated patients of their impaired reaction to auditory warning signals (e.g., traffic and car horns) as part of the day-ward discharge recommendations. IMPLICATIONS: In this study, we demonstrate that sedation of healthy volunteers with the benzodiazepine midazolam, in the common clinical dosage, does not affect their hearing capability as measured by pure tone and speech audiometry. However, one's ability to react to auditory signals is impaired after midazolam, which may have implications for patients after day-case procedures.

Abstract

IV volume is often administered to patients in an intensive care unit (ICU) to improve cardiovascular function. We investigated the relationship between stroke volume (SV) and left ventricular (LV) size by using transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in a population of 20 ICU patients and 21 postoperative cardiac surgical patients. We also examined whether LV end diastolic area (EDA), by TEE, could identify patients who increased SV by 20% or more (responders) after 500 mL of pentastarch administration. There was only a modest relationship (r = 0.60) between the EDA and the SV in all patients. No relationship could be found between the pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) and the EDA in all patients. Both responder and nonresponder PCWP increased significantly after volume administration. Only responder EDA increased significantly after volume administration. Responders had significantly lower EDA (15.3 +/- 5.4 cm(2)) and PCWP (12.2 +/- 2.2 mm Hg) when compared with nonresponders (20.2 +/- 4.8 cm(2)) and 15.9 +/- 3.1 mm Hg, respectively). Few ICU patients and only those with a small EDA responded to volume administration. It was not possible to identify an overall optimal LV EDA below which most patients demonstrate volume-recruitable increases in SV.In a ventilated intensive care unit and cardiac surgical population, transesophageal echocardiography and pulmonary artery catheter are sensitive in detecting changes in preload after volume administration. Few patients demonstrate volume-recruitable increases in stroke volume when compared to cardiac surgical patients. It is not possible to establish an overall end diastolic threshold below which a large proportion of ventilated patients respond to volume administration.

Abstract

Turner-Stokes and colleagues’ editorial suggests that the Panorama special, The Mind Reader: Unlocking My Voice , did not “clearly distinguish” between patients who live in a vegetative state and those in a minimally conscious state.1 However, the script contained several explanations of these conditions; for example, when referring to one patient undergoing assessment: “Staff here will try to assess whether he is minimally conscious with fragments of understanding or vegetative—with no awareness at all.” Just by viewing this one hour documentary the authors felt able to discern that both the Canadian patients “said to be in a vegetative state” …
