Monitoring and assessment for obstructive sleep apnea

FlexMat, EarlyView.
This review systematically classifies Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) monitoring indicators into three categories: physical, biochemical, and electrophysiological indicators, and lists several methods for each category. Abstract Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common chronic sleep‐disordered breathing disease characterized by recurrent upper airway ...

Breathe, Eat, Talk: Three Essential Ingredients to Quality‐of‐Life Outcomes in Movement Disorders

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Breathing, eating, and talking (BET) impairments are common yet frequently underrecognized features of movement disorders. Deficits in respiration, swallowing, voice, and speech may emerge early in the course of a disease, adversely affecting safety, participation, and quality of life.

Emergencies in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Emergencies are frequent in people living with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (pALS), especially as the disease progresses, and can necessitate urgent evaluation and intervention. Progressive weakness in ALS inevitably increases fall risk, making discussion of fall prevention strategies integral to caring for pALS.

Comparison of a Novel Technique for Fibreoptic-guided Intubation through an I-gel® with the Aintree Technique: A Randomised Crossover Manikin Study

Airway
Background and Aims: In an unanticipated difficult airway, a second-generation supraglottic airway device is often inserted as a rescue measure, which then needs to be exchanged for an endotracheal tube (ETT).

Effects of thoracic squeezing on airway secretion removal in mechanically ventilated patients

Iranian Journal of Nursing and Midwifery Research, 2016
Background: Accumulation of secretions in the airways of patients with an endotracheal tube and mechanical ventilation will have serious consequences. One of the most common methods of airway clearance is endotracheal suctioning.

An airway exchange catheter facilitates removal of the intubating laryngeal airway after tracheal intubation in children [PDF]

Canadian Journal of Anesthesia/Journal canadien d'anesthésie, 2010
To the Editor, When encountering patients with difficult airways in pediatric anesthesia, clinicians have the option of using a supraglottic airway device as a conduit for tracheal intubation. The Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) Classic (LMA North America; San Diego, CA, USA) is the conduit used most commonly for tracheal intubation in the pediatric ...

Intelligent Continuum Micromachines in Complex Confined Spaces

SmartBot, EarlyView.
The cover depicts a conceptual design for an intelligent continuum micromachine entering a target capsule used in fusion‐energy research through its slender gas‐fill tube. By combining route‐adaptive deformation, embedded sensing, and a functional end effector, the robot could inspect hidden defects, assess local conditions, and support localized ...
