Midazolam sedation before TEE examinations causes more prominent tachycardia and depression of SaO(2)than insertion of the TEE probe alone. It also causes a substantial drop in SBP. Midazolam should be offered only to hemodynamically stable patients without preceding respiratory depression.
Assistive technology is an important tool in memory rehabilitation. Wearable devices such as smartwatches have increased in popularity in recent years. We report on the benefits of smartwatches for everyday memory functioning in three amnesic patients, as part of a clinical memory aids rehabilitation intervention. We found improvements in several measures of everyday memory in parallel with the intervention. Smart watches hold promise as valuable tools in compensatory approaches to memory rehabilitation.
