Our goal in medicine is to gather and organize data, interpret that data and ultimately make decisions in the prevention, diagnosis, and management of disease. The initial part of this system is to ensure that adequate and correct data is collected and interpreted with knowledge of the process and shortcomings that the data was collected with.
Discussion includes vital signs, pulse oximetry, blood gases, capnography/end-tidal C02 (ETC02) and more. It is important to recognize where vital signs can trick you, how to deal with pulse oximetry latency and how blood gases and ETC02 can be interpreted in the setting of shock.

Posted: April 24, 2012 Filed under: Musculoskeletal pain, Osteopathic Medicine, Podcast Leave a commentBrandon Masi Parker provides a journal review for the article A randomized, controlled trial of osteopathic manipulative treatment for acute low back pain in active duty military personnel, by
des Anges Cruser, Couglad Maurer, Kendi Hensel, Sarah K Brown, Kathryn White, Scott T Stoll in the Journal of Manual & Manipulative Therapy, Volume 20, Number 1, 2012 , pp. 5-15(11).
This article is a crucial randomized and controlled study analyzing the effectiveness of Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) for acute low back pain (LBP) in active military personnel. The article analyzes pain, functionality and a few other parameters. I make the assertion that this unique subset of population may provide a model for other LBP patients that have physically demanding lifestyles with limited possibility for rest.
