BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE. Rapid measurement of potassium is crucial in the resuscitation of patients in cardiac arrest. This is often done on an arterial blood gas sample taken during resuscitation and analysed in an emergency department based blood gas analyser. No-one has assessed how accurate or reliable this is when compared with the traditional method of sending a venous sample to the laboratory for standard analysis. This study looked at the agreement between potassium measurements in arterial blood gas samples and venous blood samples in patients in cardiac arrest. Method: Arterial and venous blood samples were taken at the same time and analysed in the usual way from 50 patients in cardiac arrest. It was found that the mean difference between each pair of arterial and venous potassium measurements was low at 0.106 mmol/l. However, the standard deviation of these dif- ferences and subsequently the 95% limits of agreement were wide (21.182 mmol/l to 1.394 mmol/l)— that is, 95% of differences will lie between these limits. It is felt that these limits are too wide for safe use in clinical practice. Conclusion: Based on these results, it is advised that arterial blood gas analysers should be used with caution to measure potassium in patients in cardiac arrest. A bnormalities of potassium concentration are consid- ered reversible causes of cardiac arrest.1 Hyperkalaemia causes hyperpolarisation of the heart, bradycardia, and asystole. Hypokalaemia, especially in the setting of heart disease and digoxin toxicity, causes fatal cardiac arrhythmias. In addition, the potassium concentration in blood frequently changes during the course of a resuscitation. Just after cardiac arrest the concentration rises due to the release of potassium from underperfused cells. Then, as resuscitation gets underway, there is often a rebound fall as the circulation is restored and endogenous adrenaline and exogenous drugs take effect.2 It is, therefore, important to measure potassium as soon as possible during the course of a resuscitation. This has traditionally been done by taking a venous sample and sending it to the biochemistry laboratory for standard analysis. This, however, can take some time. Many people now prefer to measure potassium on an arterial blood gas sample in a resuscitation room based blood gas analyser. This gives a much faster result, but it is not known how accurate this is when compared with a venous measurement. In this study we aimed to determine the agreement between potassiu...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE. SubLicensee is either an HAA sanctioned organization made up of Harvard alumni and non-alumni associate members residing in the same geographical region, which organization provides opportunities to remain connected to Harvard and to each other (an “HAA Club”) or a collection of Harvard alumni and non-alumni associates who actively engage in communicating and/or gathering around a central unifying purpose, mission, background or activity beyond class affiliation or regional proximity (an “HAA Shared Interest Group” or “HAA SIG”). HAA has licensed from Company the Company’s AlumniMagnet Platform.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) is actively involved, through the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), in clean-up programs at radioactively contaminated sites. Generally, the contaminants are the naturally occurring radionuclides of uranium and the thorium decay series. Radium is often the primary contaminant of concern. The sites contaminated with radionuclides can be classified into two broad categories: 1. Government sites which are contaminated due to defense and weapons related testing programs (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Atoll, Fernald, Hanford, Savannah and several others). 2. Residential and commercial sites which are contaminated due to industrial operations (e.g., Ottawa and ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ sites in Illinois and several other CERCLA sites). The radionuclides found in the soils of DOE and DoD sites are mainly uranium, thorium and plutonium, which are present either as particulates or adsorbed onto soils. On the other hand, the uranium and thorium sites may contain the entire chain or disrupted portions. If processed thorium has not been disturbed in 20 or so years it will be present in equilibrium in its series entirety. Common associated radionuclides are Ra-226, Ra-228, Rn-222 and its decay products, and Rn-220 and its decay products. The residential and commercial sites pose an immediate pollution threat and health hazard to the environment because of their proximity to the general public. For example, a ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ residential area Superfund site (43 acres) is contaminated with Thorium-232 and possibly with Ra-228 (due to milling operations related to thorium and other rare earth materials which were used in the manufacture of filament coatings, polishing compounds and other products). Similarly, the soil of the Ottawa site in Illinois is contaminated with Radium-226 due to instrumentation and watch dial painting operations in the past. The purpose of this research project was to undertake a bench scale study to remove radium from the contaminated soils of the Ottawa site. The remediation method sought had to be different from the direct soil excavation and shipping method, and had to act as an alternative to soil sorting and segmented gate methods. The obvious choices were physical separation, chemical, biological and vitrification methods. The cost of soil treatment by chemical leaching and vitrification was not only cost prohibitive for the virgin soils, but produced an undesired secondary waste stream...
