How to remove an endotracheal tube [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Rationale and key points The decision to remove an endotracheal tube (extubation) is taken when the patient achieves adequate airway control. This requires an effective cough and an acceptable level of consciousness.

Autonomous Recognition of Retained Secretions in Central‐Airway Based on Deep Learning for Adult Patients Receiving Invasive Mechanical Ventilation

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work presents a deep learning model to autonomously recognize and classify the secretion retention into three levels for patients receiving invasive mechanical ventilation, achieving 89.08% accuracy. This model can be implemented to ventilators by edge computing, whose feasibility is approved.

Tracheal suctioning improves gas exchange but not hemodynamics in asphyxiated lambs with meconium aspiration. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
BackgroundCurrent neonatal resuscitation guidelines recommend tracheal suctioning of nonvigorous neonates born through meconium-stained amniotic fluid.MethodsWe evaluated the effect of tracheal suctioning at birth in 29 lambs with asphyxia induced by ...

USE OF INHALANT ANESTHETICS IN THREE SNAKE SPECIES [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Different snake species respond differently to various anesthetic agents. Hence, an anesthetic procedure developed for one species cannot necessarily be safely transferred to another species.

Soft Artificial Ciliary Brush with Integrated Haptic Feedback for Efficient Airway Mucus Cleaning

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A fundamental mucus cleaning mechanism is reported, which utilizes both artificial cilia mechanical sweeping and suction‐based mucus cleaning. A novel haptic feedback interface for the artificial cilia provides touch feedback on tissue contact, enhancing operator control and safety.

Simulation-based Randomized Paired Cross-over Comparison of Direct versus Video-assisted Laryngoscopy for Endotracheal Intubation by Inexperienced Operators

open access: yesHealth Professions Education, 2019
Purpose: Direct laryngoscopy (DL) is the standard technique for endotracheal intubation. Video-assisted laryngoscopy (VL) has emerged as an alternative, particularly for difficult airway management.

Mechanical ventilation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients, noninvasive vs. invasive method (randomized prospective study) [Usporedba neinvazivne i invazivne umjetne ventilacije kod bolesnika s kroničnom opstruktivnom plućnom bolesti: prospektivna randomizirana studija] [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Acute respiratory failure due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) presents an increasing problem throughout the world. The aim of this study was to compare invasive and non-invasive mechanical ventilation (MV) for patients with COPD.

Proteomic Analysis of Golden Sputum Reveals Pulmonary Complement Activation During Acute Chest Syndrome in Children With Sickle Cell Disease

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Acute chest syndrome (ACS) is one of the most common severe complications of sickle cell disease (SCD). In recent years, a major role of inflammation and innate immunity has been evidenced, but ACS pathophysiology remains incompletely understood, and therapeutic options are limited.

A novel inhaled anesthesia technique for concurrent direct laryngoscopy in rats

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Our novel nose cone anesthetic technique allows the use of gas anesthesia during concurrent direct laryngoscopy. Inhaled anesthesia not only has a better safety profile for rats, but also increases lab efficiency when compared to injectable anesthesia. Abstract The current anesthetic standard for laryngoscopy in rats utilizes injectable intraperitoneal
