Cardiovascular outcomes of continuous positive airway pressure therapy for obstructive sleep apnea.
Obstructive sleep apnea is a common disorder with increased risk for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The first choice of treatment of obstructive sleep apnea is continuous positive airway pressure, which reduces excessive daytime sleepiness and ...

An optimized perfusate for enhanced rat ex vivo lung perfusion and lung transplant models
We explored a low‐cost and efficient perfusate composition for use in rat ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) and lung transplant models. This perfusate demonstrates better biocompatibility, likely due to a reduction in immune responses associated with high doses of xenogenic proteins, resulting in less lung injury posttransplantation.

Treatment of obstructive sleep-disordered breathing with positive airway pressure systems
Positive airway pressure systems are widely used to treat patients with moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep-disordered breathing. The application of stable continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) via the nose (nasal CPAP) has been the mainstay of ...

Near-fatal misuse of medical tape around an endotracheal tube connector during inhalation anesthesia in a horse [PDF]
A 7-year-old gelded Irish sports horse weighing 650 kg was anesthetized on 2 consecutive days for lavage of a septic right radio-carpal joint. On both occasions the endotracheal tube connector, which had been bound in medical tape to produce an airtight ...

Effects of nasal continuous positive airway pressure on nutritive swallowing in lambs [PDF]
Current knowledge suggests that, to be successful, oral feeding in preterm infants should be initiated as soon as possible, often at an age where immature respiration still requires ventilatory support in the form of nasal continuous positive airway ...

A mouse model of lung ischemia–reperfusion injury with reversible left hilar entrapment
A Novel Reversible Left Hilar Entrapment Model for Mouse Lung Ischemia‐Reperfusion Injury with Visual Tracheal Intubation and Live Knot Technique. Abstract Lung ischemia–reperfusion injury (LIRI), an acute lung injury syndrome triggered by lung transplantation or distal organ ischemia, has long been a difficult and hot issue in clinical research.
