Study on the effect of a cold environment on the quality of three video laryngoscopes: McGrath MAC, GlideScope Ranger, and Pentax Airway Scope [PDF]
Clinical and Experimental Emergency Medicine, 2019 Objective Several environmental factors influence the prehospital use of video laryngoscopes (VLs). For example, fogging of the VL lens can occur in cold environments, and the low temperature can cause the VLs to malfunction.

A New Formula for Confirmation of Proper Endotracheal Tube Placement with Ultrasonography [PDF]
, 2019 Background Endotracheal intubation is an important procedure in critical care and emergency medicine settings. Optimal depth of the tube placement has been a serious concern because of several complications associated with its malposition. Objective:

Development of Automatic Endotracheal Tube and Carina Detection on Portable Supine Chest Radiographs using Artificial Intelligence [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 The image quality of portable supine chest radiographs is inherently poor due to low contrast and high noise. The endotracheal intubation detection requires the locations of the endotracheal tube (ETT) tip and carina. The goal is to find the distance between the ETT tip and the carina in chest radiography.

Awake supraglottic airway guided flexible bronchoscopic intubation in patients with anticipated difficult airways: a case series and narrative review [PDF]
Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2019 Awake intubation is indicated in difficult airways if attempts at securing the airway after induction of general anesthesia may lead to harm due to potential difficulties or failure in those attempts.

Learning Missing Modal Electronic Health Records with Unified Multi-modal Data Embedding and Modality-Aware Attention [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Electronic Health Record (EHR) provides abundant information through various modalities. However, learning multi-modal EHR is currently facing two major challenges, namely, 1) data embedding and 2) cases with missing modality. A lack of shared embedding function across modalities can discard the temporal relationship between different EHR modalities ...

Reproduction of contagious bovine pleuropneumonia via aerosol-based challenge with Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides. [PDF]
, 2020 Contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP) is a respiratory disease caused by Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides. Infection occurs via Mycoplasma-containing droplets and therefore requires close contact between animals.

Comparing the effect of using normal saline, N-acetyl cysteine and not using them in endotracheal tube suction on physiologic parameters and the amount of secretions in intubated patients under mechanical ventilation [PDF]
, 2014 Aims: Today a large number of patients hospitalized in Intensive Care Unit need mechanical ventilation via an artificial air way. Since these patients have endotracheal tube, endotracheal suctioning is necessary for increasing oxygenation, cleaning the ...

Pulmonary Edema following Phenylephrine Intranasal Spray Administration during the Induction of General Anesthesia in a Child [PDF]
, 2005 Topical phenylephrine, an agent used to facilitate nasotracheal intubation and prevent nasal mucosal bleeding, can cause severe hypertension in some patients, secondary to its stimulation of alpha-adrenergic receptors.

Predicting High-Flow Nasal Cannula Failure in an ICU Using a Recurrent Neural Network with Transfer Learning and Input Data Perseveration: A Retrospective Analysis [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 High Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC) provides non-invasive respiratory support for critically ill children who may tolerate it more readily than other Non-Invasive (NIV) techniques. Timely prediction of HFNC failure can provide an indication for increasing respiratory support.

Comparison of the GlideScope and the McGrath method using vascular forceps and a tube exchanger in cases of simulated difficult airway intubation [PDF]
Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2016 BackgroundA "difficult airway" can be simulated with an extrication collar, which restricts cervical motion and mouth opening. The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of the GlideScope and the McGrath in difficult airway simulation ...
