Remifentanil or Alfentanil for Endotracheal Intubation [PDF]
Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine, 2011 Dear Editor, In their study Imani et al. (1) have compared the use of remifentanil (5 μg/kg) or alfentanil (50 μg /kg) as adjunct to propofol infusion (2 mg/kg) for rapid sequence anesthesia induction and tracheal intubation without the use of neuromuscular blocking agents in 100 American Socienty of Anesthesiologyists (ASA) I patients aged 20-50 ...

Endotracheal Tube Detection and Segmentation in Chest Radiographs using Synthetic Data [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Chest radiographs are frequently used to verify the correct intubation of patients in the emergency room. Fast and accurate identification and localization of the endotracheal (ET) tube is critical for the patient. In this study we propose a novel automated deep learning scheme for accurate detection and segmentation of the ET tubes.

Automatic classification of multiple catheters in neonatal radiographs with deep learning [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 We develop and evaluate a deep learning algorithm to classify multiple catheters on neonatal chest and abdominal radiographs. A convolutional neural network (CNN) was trained using a dataset of 777 neonatal chest and abdominal radiographs, with a split of 81%-9%-10% for training-validation-testing, respectively.

Studying continuous, time-varying, and/or complex exposures using longitudinal modified treatment policies [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 This tutorial discusses methodology for causal inference using longitudinal modified treatment policies. This method facilitates the mathematical formalization, identification, and estimation of many novel parameters, and mathematically generalizes many commonly used parameters, such as the average treatment effect.

Endotracheal intubation in the dog [PDF]
Lab Animal, 2007 In dogs, endotracheal intubation is often necessary for surgery, dental prophylaxis, or other procedures that require gas anesthesia or ventilation. Following a few simple guidelines can help ensure that the procedure is done safely and effectively.

Novel imaging revealing inner dynamics for cardiovascular waveform analysis via unsupervised manifold learning [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Cardiovascular waveforms contain information for clinical diagnosis. By "learning" and organizing the subtle change of waveform morphology from large amounts of raw waveform data, unsupervised manifold learning helps delineate a high-dimensional structure and display it as a novel three-dimensional (3D) image.

Fentanyl and fentanyl plus lidocaine on attenuation of haemodynamic stress response to laryngoscopy: a comparative study in controlled hypertensive patients posted for laparoscopic cholecystectomy [PDF]
, 2017 Background:Endotracheal intubation may create a period of hemodynamic instability in normotensive patients but more so in hypertensive patients. Endotracheal intubation produces stimulation of laryngeal and tracheal sensory receptors, resulting in a ...
