The comparison of capnography and epigastric auscultation to assess the accuracy of nasogastric tube placement in intensive care unit patients

BMC Gastroenterology, 2020
Background Placement of nasogastric (NG) tubes is a common procedure for patients especially in intensive care units (ICUs). Thus, it is important to determine the correct placement of the tube to prevent misplacement in the airways. Accordingly, the aim

Predictors for Successful Non‐Invasive Ventilation in Patients With Neuralgic Amyotrophy and Phrenic Nerve Involvement

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Phrenic nerve involvement in neuralgic amyotrophy (NA) may cause diaphragm paresis and respiratory impairment, for which chronic non‐invasive ventilation (NIV) may be beneficial. Data on treatment success and predictors are lacking.

Feasibility of Longitudinal Home Monitoring of Nocturnal Transcutaneous CO2 and Relationship to Standard Respiratory Measures in Patients With ALS: A Pilot Cohort Study

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) results in respiratory muscle weakness causing hypoventilation, retention of carbon dioxide (CO2), and chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure. In this pilot study, we performed a 12‐month assessment of daytime and home nocturnal CO2 to track respiratory progression, determine relationships

Single‐dose enflicoxib versus a 7‐day course of firocoxib for postoperative pain control in dogs undergoing orthopaedic surgery: A multicentre, randomised, masked, non‐inferiority study

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Perioperative analgesia is essential in dogs undergoing orthopaedic surgery, and enflicoxib's long duration makes single‐dose administration attractive. Methods A prospective, multicentre, randomised, masked trial compared enflicoxib (8 mg/kg) given 24 hours before surgery with firocoxib (5 mg/kg) given daily for 7 days. Two hundred

Pitfalls of overreliance on capnography and disregard of visual evidence of tracheal tube placement: A pediatric case series

JEM Reports
Background: Confirming the placement of an endotracheal tube in a pediatric patient is a critically important step in resuscitation, and no single method of confirmation has been proven to be completely reliable.

Project for Universal Management of Airways: guidelines for tracheal extubation

Anaesthesia, EarlyView.
Summary Introduction Risk evaluation, strategy formulation and preparation are important to decreasing the incidence of adverse events associated with tracheal extubation. The focus of this guideline is tracheal extubation, but many of the principles outlined are relevant to all forms of discontinuation of airway management (tracheal extubation ...

The case for procedural capnography

, 2017
This DNP capstone project provides evidence that adding a hands-on educational initiative regarding the use of capnography to a group of nurses who administer procedural sedation will promote the use of capnography.
