Undersampling and Bagging of Decision Trees in the Analysis of Cardiorespiratory Behavior for the Prediction of Extubation Readiness in Extremely Preterm Infants [PDF]
Extremely preterm infants often require endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation during the first days of life. Due to the detrimental effects of prolonged invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV), clinicians aim to extubate infants as soon as they deem them ready.

Novel method of attaching a suction tube externally to a tracheal tube as an insertion route for a Fogarty catheter in cryobiopsy: Retrospective comparative study [PDF]
Background: Cryobiopsy use is anticipated to become more common in diagnosing lung diseases. In Japan, inserting a Fogarty catheter through a suction channel above the endotracheal tube's cuff for hemostasis is common practice.

Inclusive spectra of hadrons created by color tube fission 1. Probability of tube fission [PDF]
The probability of color tube fission that includes the tube surface small oscillation corrections is obtained with pre-exponential factor accuracy on the basis of previously constructed color tube model. Using these expressions the probability of the tube fission in $n$ point is obtained that is the basis for calculation of inclusive spectra of ...

Endotracheal tube anchoring to the maxilla in an edentulous patient with a facial burn
Securing an endotracheal tube for the patients with facial blistering due to burns is problematic. Unstable fixation may cause dislodging of the tube. Various improvements have been reported to overcome this problem.
