Contrastive Learning Improves Critical Event Prediction in COVID-19 Patients [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Machine Learning (ML) models typically require large-scale, balanced training data to be robust, generalizable, and effective in the context of healthcare. This has been a major issue for developing ML models for the coronavirus-disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic where data is highly imbalanced, particularly within electronic health records (EHR ...

Videolaryngoscopy versus direct laryngoscopy for adult patients requiring tracheal intubation.

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2016
BACKGROUND Successful tracheal intubation during general anaesthesia traditionally requires a line of sight to the larynx attained by positioning the head and neck and using a laryngoscope to retract the tongue and soft tissues of the floor of the mouth.

Special Robotic Stylet for Assisting Endotracheal Intubation Based on Multisegment Continuum Mechanism

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A robotic stylet is proposed based on a multisegment continuum mechanism for specialized assisting endotracheal intubation. Its geometric parameters are designed based on medical images and kinematic is derived. A prototype is fabricated, and its kinematics and application are experimentally verified. These robotic systems can improve accurate, secure,

A randomised comparative study on customised versus fixed sized pillow for tracheal intubation in the sniffing position by Macintosh laryngoscopy

Indian Journal of Anaesthesia, 2018
Background and Aims: The sniffing position has been most commonly used for positioning of the head and neck to facilitate tracheal intubation. However, the optimum degree of head elevation for the optimal laryngeal view is not well studied, especially in

Intubation and mechanical ventilation of patients with COVID-19: what should we tell them?

Monaldi Archives for Chest Disease, 2020
Severe COVID-19 illness is characterised by the development of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), for which the mainstay of treatment is represented by mechanical ventilation. Mortality associated with ARDS due to other causes is in the range of

Comparison of Fentanyl and Clonidine for Attenuation of the Haemodynamic Response to Laryngocopy and Endotracheal Intubation [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2013
Introduction: Laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation after the induction of anaesthesia, are nearly always associated with a sympathetic hyperactivity.

COVID-19 Prognosis via Self-Supervised Representation Learning and Multi-Image Prediction [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
The rapid spread of COVID-19 cases in recent months has strained hospital resources, making rapid and accurate triage of patients presenting to emergency departments a necessity. Machine learning techniques using clinical data such as chest X-rays have been used to predict which patients are most at risk of deterioration.

Videolaryngoscopy versus direct laryngoscopy for adult patients requiring tracheal intubation: a Cochrane Systematic Review†

British Journal of Anaesthesia, 2017
Difficulties with tracheal intubation commonly arise and impact patient safety. This systematic review evaluates whether videolaryngoscopes reduce intubation failure and complications compared with direct laryngoscopy in adults.

Personalized Kirigami Strain Sensors for in vivo Applications

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Rapid prototyping of strain sensors is demonstrated using a laser cutter that both converts carbon‐based material to strain responsible graphene and generates cuts in a kirigami‐style pattern that allows enhanced substrate flexibility. This method is used to generate wearable sensors for monitoring heart rate, limb/finger motion, and abdominal ...

Predicting Extubation Readiness in Extreme Preterm Infants based on Patterns of Breathing [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
Extremely preterm infants commonly require intubation and invasive mechanical ventilation after birth. While the duration of mechanical ventilation should be minimized in order to avoid complications, extubation failure is associated with increases in morbidities and mortality.
