Teacher: Indicate the presence of numerical data in the abstract (whether numerical data plays a key role in medical records), solely using the information from the abstract.
Teacher: Now, understand the problem? If you are still confused, see the following example:
Abstract: Some patients converted from ventricular fibrillation to organized rhythms by defibrillation - trained ambulance technicians(EMT - Ds) will refibrillate before hospital arrival.The authors analyzed 271 cases of ventricular fibrillation managed by EMT - Ds working without paramedic back - up.Of 111 patients initially converted to organized rhythms, 19(17%) refibrillated, 11(58%) of whom were reconverted to perfusing rhythms, including nine of 11(82%) who had spontaneous pulses prior to refibrillation.Among patients initially converted to organized rhythms, hospital admission rates were lower for patients who refibrillated than for patients who did not(53 % versus 76% , P = NS), although discharge rates were virtually identical(37 % and 35 % , respectively).Scene - to - hospital transport times were not predictively associated with either the frequency of refibrillation or patient outcome.Defibrillation - trained EMTs can effectively manage refibrillation with additional shocks and are not at a significant disadvantage when paramedic back - up is not available.
Question: Does the abstract contain any numerical data?
Solution: Yes
Reason: As there are numerical figures and percentages (%), the answer is yes.

Now, solve this instance: Abstract: The equipment used for the first sampling of arterial blood at depth on free-diving Weddell seals Leptonychotes weddelli is described. Blood was withdrawn through an aortic catheter by a submersible, peristaltic roller pump and stored in a single- or multiple-sample collection device. The multiple sampler allowed up to eight individual blood samples to be collected during a single dive. The blood pump was controlled by a dedicated microcomputer that allowed initiation of blood sampling at flexible combinations of depth and/or time during either the descending or ascending phase of the dive. The dedicated microcomputer also recorded swimming depth, velocity, heart rate, and body temperature at selectable time intervals. These data were transmitted to a laboratory computer, and blood samples were retrieved, when the seal surfaced to breathe.
