손목에 착용하여 맥파와 산소포화도 등의 정보를 측정할 수 있는 유비쿼터스 광센서를 개발하였다. 유비쿼터스 광센서의 SNR의 향상을 위해 660nm의 LD와 904nm의 LD를 사용하였으며, 2종류의 LD는 각각 PD를 중심으로 $120^{\circ}$로 배치하였다. 또한 정확한 신호의 측정 및 분석을 위해 LabVIEW를 사용하였다. 제작된 광센서는 정확한 맥박 및 산소포화도의 측정이 가능하였으며 Beer-Lambert 곡선과 부합하여, 구성 및 설계가 정확함을 알 수 있다.

Most of existing biomedical signal measurement devices measure and evaluate biomedical signal only in a single device. Also, even if the device is multi-functional, those biomedical signals can be measured by selection of the user. In this paper, we implemented wristband-style biomedical signal measurement device for u-healthcare system to solve the problem above. Implemented device uses 4 infrared sensors to measure the pulse, 2 electrodes to measure the skin conductivity, and 3-axis accelerometer to measure momentum. Also, we propose a communication packet frame for transmitting biomedical signal data to PC or mobile device, using Zigbee. Studies show that our device has the error rate of less than twice for pulse measurement, 85.6%, 84.7% reliability for momentum measurement, and the skin conductivity has changed according to the user's physical status.

The study was done to analyze the effects of aroma inhalation method on preoperative anxiety of upper and lower surgical patients. The research design was a nonequivalent control group non-synchronized design. The subjects were a total 60 patients of each group 30 patients that were operated on under general anesthesia for upper and lower limbs surgery. The tool of the Amsterdam preoperative anxiety information scale(APAIS), systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and pulse rate levels was measured the day before surgery. The data were analyzed by the $x^2$ test Fisher's exact test, paird t-test, and the independent t-test using SPSS 20.0. Study result indicated that Lavender aroma therapy had the effect on reduction of anxiety before surgery and reduction of blood pressure, and pulse rate levels. Therefore, the study result could be used as a scientifical data that can be applied to the nursing interventions that use the aroma inhalation method and contributing to development of the holistic nursing care.

Many cellular phone volunteer studies have been conducted since such a social issue is raised that the long time usage of cellular phone by teenagers may increase health risk. While there were various adult volunteer studies using GSM cellular phone on heart rate and blood pressure, very few teenager studies using CDMA phone were conducted. In this study, two volunteer groups of 21 teenagers and 21 adults were exposed to 300 mW CDMA wave for half an hour, and the physiological parameters such as blood pressure, heart rate, respiration rate, and skin impedance were investigated. All the parameters fur both groups were unaffected during exposure except the skin impedance of teenager group.

Most wearable system for mobile healthcare applications consists of three parts. The first part is the sensing elements based on bio-signal, the second is the circuit module for control, data acquisition and wireless communication and control and the third is garment with a built-in electrodes and circuits. The existing healthcare garment systems have to find a solution to signal-wire and uncomfortable and inappropriate electrode to long-term attachment. Even if the wireless communication is used for healthcare garment system, the interface between sensors and circuits have to use wires. To solve these problems, this paper use electrode using PEDOT coated PVDF nanoweb for ECG signal and PVDF film sensor for respiratory signal. And, we constructed garment network using digital yarn of 10um, and transmitted ECG and respiratory signal to mobile phone through the integrated circuit with bluetooth called station To evaluate feasibility of the proposed mobile healthcare garment system, we experimented with transmission and measurement of ECG and respiratory signal using nanoweb electrode and digital yarn. We got a successful result without noise and attenuation.

Clonidine, ${\alpha}2$-adrenergic agonist, applied spinally or epidurally has been shown to be effective in blocking noxious stimuli in human applications. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the analgesic effect of epidurally administered clonidine. In 40 patients undergoing hemorrhoidectomy or anal fistulectomy, 1.33% lidocaine 15ml (Group I) or 1.33% lidocaine mixed with $75{\mu}g$ clonidine(Group II) administered epidurally through sacral hiatus. Intraoperative changes of vital signs and duration of postoperative analgesic effects were observed. The results were as follows : 1) In the group I, average analgesic duration was 2.42 hours. 2) In the group II, average analgesic duration was 7.32 hours. 3) After epidural clonidine injection, the decrease in heart rate and blood pressure was not significant without sedation. 4) Postoperatively, any complaints related clonidine were not reported. In conclusion, postoperative pain control with epidural clonidine was effective.

This paper presents a electrocardiogram(ECG), electromyogram(EMG), and Photoplethysmography(PPG) signal wireless monitoring system based on Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). ECG and EMG sensor interface analog front-end circuits are designed by using off-the-shelf parts. Texas Instruments(TI)'s CC2540DK is used for BLE-based communication. Two CC2540DK modules are used as Peripheral and Central nodes. In peripheral device, vital signals are acquired by the analog front-ends and fed to ADC for analog-to-digital conversion. The peripheral transmitts the data through the air to the central device. The central device receive the data and sends them to PC using UART. GUI is designed using Labview for displaying the acquired vital signals. The developed system can be used for future ubiquitous wireless healthcare system based on bluetooth 4.0.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the intravenous (IV) sedation technique with midazolam and ketamine for uncooperative dental child patients. Three child patients between the ages of 4.4 years and 5.6 years who required sedation for dental treatment were given midazolam and ketamine. Initial dosage was combined of $0.03{\sim}0.06mg/kg$ midazolam and 1.0mg/kg ketamine. Additional dosages of ketamine (0.33mg/kg) were given as needed to maintain deep sedation. Pulse rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, adverse reactions, postoperative recovery and behavior were monitored with saturation pulse oximetry, ECG, NIBP and Cardiocap. In conclusion, the combination of midazolam and ketamine is efficacious in deep sedation for painful dental treatment. However, a significant drop in oxygen saturation was observed as a common adverse side effect. Therefore advanced airway management proficiency is required in order to achieve a successful IV sedation.
