FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

 

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Capnography devices?

That’s the first question even I had in my mind but before I dive straight to the main course, let’s have starters first. Ahm Ahm, I meant let’s look back at the history of Capnography first. *wink*

Capnometry was first used in World War II to monitor the internal environment. Its application in healthcare was first seen in 1950 to measure the amount of carbon dioxide (CO₂) released during anesthesia but it was in the early 1980s when it was actually practiced by doctors. Slowly, when the devices started getting smaller in size, Capnography officially marked its presence in the field of anesthesia.

So, by now you would have guessed what’s in the “main course”. Isn’t it? Smart people For better clarity, please refer to the below definition.

“Capnography monitor or device is something used mostly in hospitals to keep a check on the CO₂ level in the respiratory gases (or the air we exhale) of the patients.”

What is the difference between Capnometry, Capnography, Capnometer, and Capnograph?

Often people get confused with these three terms which are usually used interchangeably. But after reading the definition, you will understand how these three terms differ from each other.

Capnometry: Capnometry is the measurement and display of carbon dioxide in numeric form only, i.e., end-tidal and inspired CO2.

Capnography: Capnography is the exhaustive measurement and display of carbon dioxide in not the only numeric format but also in the form of Capnogram (real-time CO2 waveform).

Capnometer: The device which is responsible for measuring and displaying the end-tidal and inspired CO2.

Capnograph: The device which is responsible for measuring and displaying the CO2 in a waveform.

What are the three types of Capnography?

Three types of Capnograph are: Sidestream, Mainstream, and Microstream. Let’s understand each one in brief.

Sidestream: Sidestream monitor is placed away from the breathing passage of the patient. Therefore, it relies on the other monitor connected to the patient’s breathing passage by a tube. Through the ventilator circuit, the gas samples are aspirated from the exhaled gas. Sidestream monitors are specifically used in non-intubated patients.

Mainstream: Mainstream monitor is used in the case of intubated patients wherein it is directly placed at the breathing passage of the patient to measure the CO2. Hence, within a short period, the doctors get the required amount of sample gas which is smaller compared to sidestream monitoring. However, the disadvantage mainstream monitor offer is that it cannot be used in non-intubated patients and it also adds weight to the airway.

Microstream: Microstream is the new type of capnograph that uses molecular correlation spectrography for accurate results. The Microstream monitors also give rapid results and can be used in both intubated and non-intubated patients.

How do we measure EtCO2?

EtCO2 stands for End Tidal CO2. It is the level of CO2 that has been released at the end of an exhaled breath. To measure the EtCO2, you need to consider three things: The EtCO2 value, the respiratory rate (RR), and the waveform shape. The numerical data is easily understandable, however, understanding the waveform shape requires special knowledge, hence, please focus on the information below:

There are 4 phases while we measure the EtCO2. Have a look!

Phase 1: Exhalation will start and the concentration of the CO2 will be zero.

Phase 2: The CO2 will increase gradually as the alveolar gas exits the breathing passage of the patient.

Phase 3: In the 3^rd phase, the CO2 concentration will be comparatively constant and by the end of phase 3^rd, the CO2 concentration will be maximum.

Phase 4: Inhalation will start and CO2 will reduce to zero again.

What is the normal range of EtCO2?

The normal EtCO2 has the following features:

• The waveform always starts with zero and ends at zero after the completion of the process.
• The maximum CO2 is reached with every breath that corresponds to the EtCO2.
• The width of the waveform depends on the expiratory time.
• The amplitude of the waveform depends on the concentration of the EtCO2.
• The normal range of EtCO2 is 5%-6% CO2 which is equivalent to 35-45 mmHg or 4.0-5.7 kPa.
• Waveform should be rectangular in shape with rounded corners.
• For adults who are on ventilation, the rate should be 10-12 bpm and without ventilation, the rate should be 12-20 bpm. Children should be ventilated and the rate should be 15-30 bpm and in the case of infants, it should be 25-50 bpm.   

What causes high EtCO2?

The end tidal CO2 can be caused by many reasons. Majorly there are 4 reasons which are enlisted below:

• Rapid increase in body temperature (malignant hyperthermia)
• Decrease in metabolic rate
• Decrease in respiratory rate (hypoventilation)
• Decrease in tidal volume (hypoventilation)

IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON CAPNOGRAPHY DEVICES

Impact of COVID-19 on Capnography Devices

The following table will help you understand how the capnography market was behaving pre-COVID and how it is behaving post-COVID. Have a look!

S.No.	Scope	Pre-COVID	Post-COVID
1.	Resource Allocation	The Anesthesiologists and certified registered CRNAs (nurse anesthetists) were earlier looking after the Operating Room (OR) patients as surgeries used to happen in that room.	Post-COVID, the Anesthesiologists and certified registered CRNAs have been relocated to the ICUs, which have now become COVID-19 units, as surgeries have got canceled due to COVID and their expertise is beneficial for the COVID patient’s recovery.
2.	Remote monitoring of EtCO2	Pre-COVID, doctors were measuring the EtCO2 in real-time without maintaining any social distancing or working remotely.	To follow the social distancing and supporting the conservation of the PPE, capnography devices are connected to a remote monitoring platform, such as Vital Sync remote monitoring technology, to measure the CO2.
3.	Scope	The scope of capnography was limited to monitoring ventilation.	The scope has expanded dramatically. Now, apart from ventilation, capnography has been used to access the airway patency and placement, assessment of intervention and treatment effectiveness, assisting in the identification of coagulation problems such as emboli, PE, DVT, etc.
4.	Filtration of the capnography sampling line	Not required	As the size of the COVID virus is very small compared to the size of aerosol (through which COVID enters the body) droplets, the Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation (APSF) has created COVID-19 specific resources for filtering the capnography sampling line.

Showing the impact of COVID-19 on Capnography

Conclusion

Capnography is the device that is used by healthcare facilities to monitor the EtCO2. There are three types of capnography: Sidestream, Mainstream, and the latest Microstream. There is a total of 4 phases of measuring the EtCO2 wherein the normal range features zero waveforms at the start and returning back to zero at the end.

The causes of high end tidal CO2 are mainly an increase in the body temperature, and a decrease in the metabolic rate, respiratory rate, and tidal volume.

Food has been the means of survival for the living beings since time immemorial. While the history of food processing dates back to a million years ago, the food processing techniques have changed throughout the ages.

The industrial revolution in the 20^th century has had a large impact on the food processing equipment industry. For example, the industrial revolution resulted in the development of machines in the food industry that reduced the human intervention only to trigger the rise of restaurants and food malls. Since then, the food machineries and equipment have encountered scientific changes throughout the course. Nonetheless, it is worthy to mention the growing significance of digital devices and automation in the food & beverage industry.

Innovation and Trends:

The definition for food processors and food processing equipment can vary with some difference. For example, the most common users of food processors are housewives and domestic helpers wherein cutting, blending, grating, and sorting of food is carried on a single-handed basis in a less time. On the other hand, a food processing equipment can still perform the same operations on an industrial level under different units. The time required differs for output owing to the broader nature and scale of these operations.

With the growing population and ever increasing demand for food in the fast-paced environment in the suburbs, processed foods have gained tremendous popularity. The need for hygiene standards are becoming more stringent with the progress. Simultaneously, the grading methods for the food applications are also getting more diversified in the process, hence, innovative methods are being adopted to improve the quality standards.

For example, the 3D printing technique is looked upon as a game changer in the food industry. The 3D technology is getting more attention as it helps in anticipate in designing a better food product for the end consumption. It ensures the minimal food wastage arising from conventional cooking methods and result in a healthy high-tech food product.

In another instance, the high pressure processing techniques have stood the test of time. It involves a cold pasteurization process with a high isostatic environment for packaged foods. High pressure processing is advantageous because it inactivates the micro-organisms to ensure food safety and enables a better quality of taste, appearance and enhance nutritional value of food.  Also, it aims at resolving the concerns for low shelf life in packaged foods.

Food processing equipment industry in the post-pandemic :

Food industry in the post-pandemic world is likely to witness the most significant changes in terms of automation, sanitation, packaging & delivery and adoption of IT infrastructure. Majorly, the cause and effect analysis anticipates a more clear picture of improvements on safety.

2. The Norm – In the end-user market, takeaways and home deliveries will continue to be a major medium between customers and restaurants. This is more or less expected to continue in the new normal as social restrictions are easing in several countries followed by vaccination drive.

3. Consumer Preference – The transformation in consumer preferences will also trigger more need for automation and digitization in the food production sector. For example, cleaning robots might get deployed to cover sanitation tasks in a cyclical manner. Besides, the small companies might go on a complete automation mode for food packaging.

4. Finding the Right Balance – Manufacturing companies might possibly spend more on setting up new factories to improve efficiency and finding the right balance to suffice the production and distribution load. This move will be based out of finding the right talent to cater to the changing needs. However, going forward intense challenges prevail in finding the right balance.

5. Demand for Processed Foods – Millennial consumers are already stocking up with essential supplies and foods mainly driven and to continue with the lockdown habits. Canned foods, frozen vegetables, cheese, butter, and macaroni, pasta, are some of the common packaged food products preferred by a millennial on a regular basis. In this light, the food manufacturers are benefitting from increase in sales of packaged foods as consumer retention has relatively grown high during the pandemic. The Fast-Moving Consumer Goods  (FMCG) and Consumer Packaged Goods  (CPG) companies are likely to renovate their distribution strategies. Food companies trying to cope with the pandemic situation are relatively delivering more packaged foods with better quality and shelf life.

The Final Word:

We’re not even closer at the end of the pandemic and there is no sign it is slowing down any sooner in the nearest future. While the cost of survival is high at the moment, the food processing equipment industry is constantly trying to find optimum balance between production, supply, and distribution amid the crisis. With more developed quality standards the food processing techniques are likely to cover more ground turning more and sustainable with better alternatives in the coming years.

mHealth Apps Market Analysis, Industry Size, Share And New Opportunities Till 2028: Grand View Research Inc.

 The spread of the coronavirus has compelled all countries to examine the possibilities provided by modern technology to tackle the pandemic. Scientists and developers are focusing on utilizing technology to save lives, particularly during the pandemic. The silent transmission of coronavirus – caused by asymptomatic persons has been a serious worry in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. Using mHealth technology such as mobile applications and wearable sensors to monitor COVID-19 patients and suspected cases, which can help to reduce the pandemic’s impact, is a good strategy to minimize the pandemic’s impact.

Understanding mHealth —

mHealth, when bifurcated stands for mobile health. In layman’s terms, mHealth is the process of providing health care and medication with the help of mobile technologies such as computers, mobile phones, and tablets. The mHealth technology performs activities including collecting vital signs, providing information to physicians, and allowing remote examinations with the help of tablets, mobile phones, and other portable devices.

Mobile health technology is extremely helpful especially in rural places where physicians and nurses may not be available to offer care to the patients. Doctors and nurses operating in these remote locations rely on mHealth for up-to-date medical information, as well as sharing the information with the relevant authorities nearby. Mobile health technology also allows medical students and residents working in distant regions to receive faster training and instruction during health emergencies.

Besides, the COVID-19 pandemic has jolted everyone to an extent that people are overcautious towards their wellbeing. The fear of infection has driven the use of apps and wearables as a way to make people feel safer. With the ever-evolving technology, wearables can now provide reliable input on blood pressure, body temperature, and health signs, which is ultimately restoring people’s sense of relief while also assisting them in tracking their health.

 

Let’s take you through some examples of mHealth apps which have been imperative during the COVID-19 pandemic.

It is believed that the inclusion of key components in mHealth might assist in diagnosis or symptom reporting that can be extremely crucial for infection management. Furthermore, the integration of essential epidemiological data and geographic information on transmittable diseases in a region would allow for case tracking, which can be utilized as an effective tool to prevent infection transmission. These types of mHealth apps can be more successful in delivering health-related information since data can be transmitted quickly and dynamically. During the first global wave of COVID-19 in the first quarter of 2020. Scientists and app developers came together to prevent the spread of coronavirus and developed several apps that were available universally to be accessible via smartphones.

A few of these apps are listed below:

Application Name	Features
Apple COVID-19	The app has up-to-date information from trusted sources about the coronavirus disease that is impacting people across the world. It is a simple screening tool to determine what you should do if you are concerned about COVID-19.
HEALTHLYNKED COVID-19 Tracker	It is a Covid-19 tracker app that allows users to self-report symptoms, if they test positive for the virus, alert contacts so that they can seek medical care to prevent spread.
Aarogya Setu	The app was developed by the Government of India to track COVID-19 at the personal and country level. The app also includes the initiatives and updates from the country’s health department regarding the pandemic.
Coronavirus Australia	The app was launched by the Australian government to advise and keep its nationals up to date with official information.
Canada COVID-19	The app was designed to keep the local population informed about COVID-19 in Canada. It also provides timely updates and important news and alerts from Canada’s Ministry of Health.

The above mentioned are a few of the most notable apps which were launched during the first global wave of coronavirus. There have been thousands of apps launched including self-monitoring apps that can notify the user of their health status during the pandemic. Moreover, a report by Grand View Research states that the Covid-19 pandemic has led to the increased utilization of mHealth applications across the globe. The upsurge in remote patient monitoring, patient data analysis, and diagnosis is the major factor boosting the adoption of these applications.

How mHealth is helping Health Workers, tackling COVID-19

The pandemic has posed enormous hurdles to countries with poor healthcare systems since many healthcare systems throughout the world are cracking under the weight of COVID-19. Hence, it becomes imperative to leverage technology to help our health care workers.

Let’s discuss through some points how mHealth is proving vital for health care workers during COVID-19:

• The primary purpose for mHealth in assisting health care workers is in recording and logging cases, as well as providing contact tracing, all this when they are supervised and outfitted with suitable personal protective equipment.

• Another role that mHealth plays is providing education, training, and supervision to health care workers. With the ever-changing information related to the COVID-19 due to virus mutations, the healthcare workers are required to be updated with the changing symptoms and advisories provided by the government.

How mHealth is assisting in the fight against COVID-19?

• Practicing Social Distancing while treating the patients affected with coronavirus:

Key global authorities is advocating to reduce physical contact between healthcare workers and patients. It is advised to adopt telehealth services unless it is really important. This would help in reducing the transmission rate of COVID-19.

• Crowdsourced Health Information App:

The app developers along with health professionals are developing coronavirus tracing applications that run on crowdsourced information. People from all over the world enter their information – travel routes, the likelihood of becoming infected, and so on – so that healthcare experts can track hotspots and carriers.

• The rising use of healthcare gadgets:

The impact of COVID-19 on the mHealth sector has been impactful. The healthcare gadget market saw a steep rise during the rise of cases globally. People started using applications and wearing masks because they were afraid of being sick. They became aware of their body temperature and health indicators. They began to rely on apps for health screening and awareness. Many companies introduced several healthcare gadgets to reduce anxiety while making consumers aware of their health.

• The use of AI in medical apps to track and diagnose COVID-19 outbreak:

AI can use demographics, travel, and infection data to estimate where an illness might spread and how quickly it will spread. This information is used by healthcare institutions and governments to act rapidly to contain the spread. Significant mHealth advancements, along with the help of AI and ML apps to screen people and estimate infection risks, have made AI a crucial contribution to recognizing, tracking, and diagnosing epidemics.

What will happen to mHealth in the Post-Covid-19 Era?

Expansion of Pharmaceutical Analytical Testing Outsourcing Market During 2021 – 2028 to Gain Robust Traction: Grand View Research Inc.

 

Do you remember when we go to the office, what is the expectation of our boss from us?

Quality work submitted on time. Maybe?

When we look back to our school and college time, isn’t the same thing that our teacher used to expect from our assignments?

Even today, is quality, not our topmost priority when we do some work or when somebody is doing something for us?

Henceforth, QUALITY IS IMPORTANT.

Just like for us, quality work is also important in the pharmaceutical industry whether it’s method validation, tech transfer, microbiological testing, or method development. In this regard, here what people working in this industry has to say:

“Quality results are what pharma wants; rarely do we hear complaints about cost.”

Michael Crowley, Ph.D., M.S., B.S., Vice President business development, PharmaForm

“The key to everything in our industry is quality. Not only does this refer to the quality of the data, but also the quality and reliability in delivery; the quality of the relationship as well as trust; quality associated with regulatory adherence; quality associated with the communication; quality of the science and people; and quality in working through problems and issues.”

Randall Guthrie, Vice President, Xcelience, LLC

“Price rarely comes up in conversation with clients.”

Frank Santillo, Ph.D., senior director of research services for Bilcare Global Clinical Services

Increasing R&D budgets and investments in drug discovery are among the critical sustainability strategies for pharmaceutical companies. Not all companies have an infrastructure that is conducive to all types of analytical testing. Hence, outsourcing these operations is the most suitable option, which also helps save time and cost.

Other factors, such as the increasing need for product safety & quality, along with changing regulations for in vivo and in vitro tests are also expected to propel the growth of the market. For instance, the government of China issued a notification to upgrade the quality of generic drugs, remove the backlog of drug applications, improve the quality and transparency of the review and approval process, and encourage new drug R&D in line with global development.

Contactless Payment Market Expectations Acme Prominent Development in Developed Regions, Details Gvr Study

 Due to COVID-19, the global economy has been disrupted and as a result, has changed the way we do business these days. From adopting social distancing to going contactless, everything has changed. Though, contactless payment was a big part of how we pay pre-COVID-19, but, due to the “no-touch contact”, there has been a surge in the contactless payment market.

Contactless payment works on the Near Field Communication (NFC) technology where data gets wirelessly transferred from smartphones, laptops, tablets, and other devices when they are in close proximity. This advanced technology helps in contactless payments via mobile wallets such as Android pay, Apple Pay, and contactless card.

As per the latest report by Grand View Research on the contactless payment market, the market size of this industry was valued at USD 1.34 trillion in 2020. It is expected to expand at a CAGR of 20.3% from 2021 to 2028.

Below is the infographic that will summarize how COVID-19 has impacted contactless payment.

Impact of COVID-19 on contactless payment

Conclusion

Though “tap to pay” is considered as easy to use and highly convenient, however, we can’t deny the fact that this technology is not 100% risk-free. Also, small businesses can still not afford it as it’s an expensive deal. Having said that, I wish as the technology is advancing, in near future, we will see a lot safer and inexpensive device for our businesses.
