radial pressure pulse (RPP)
Brief summary
The aim of this study is to record the radial pressure pulse(RPP) of the patients with cholecystitis compared preoperative and postoperative pulse changes in an attempt to determine the relationship between cholecystitis and pulse.
Detailed description
A total of 20 patients were recruited according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The patients, aged 32-76 years, were given a diagnosis of cholecystitis by a general surgeon from Taiwan's Taichung Tzu Chi Hospital. All eligible patients included in the study agreed to participated and signed the informed consent form and the study procedures were approved by the ethical committee of Taichung Tzu Chi general hospital (REC110-12). By measuring and recording the RPP preoperatively and postoperatively, the mean values of the spectral energy (SE0-10 Hz, SE10-50 Hz, and SE13-50 Hz) were obtained for comparison with the preoperative white blood cell (WBC) count.
