A new role for exhaled nitric oxide as a functional marker of peripheral airway caliber changes: a theoretical study [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
Though considered as an inflammation marker, exhaled nitric oxide (FENO) was shown to be sensitive to airway caliber changes to such an extent that it might be considered as a marker of them. It is thus important to understand how these changes and their localization mechanically affect the total NO flux penetrating the airway lumen (JawNO), hence FENO,

Comparison of Respiratory Complications of Propofol and Isoflurane among Six-Months to Two-Years-Old Infants Undergoing Inguinal Herniorrhaphy under General Anesthesia with Laryngeal Mask Airway

مجله دانشکده پزشکی اصفهان, 2017
Background: The use of laryngeal mask airway (LMA) for infants is increasing. But, there is not sufficient research on the anesthetic drugs used for infants whose airway is supported with laryngeal mask airway. This study aimed to compare the respiratory

Comparison of the Supreme™ and ProSeal™ laryngeal mask airways in infants: a prospective randomised clinical study

BMC Anesthesiology, 2017
Background The Supreme™ and ProSeal™ laryngeal mask airways (LMAs) are widely used in paediatric anaesthesia; however, LMA use in infants is limited because many anaesthesiologists prefer to use tracheal intubation in infants.

On the mechanics of inhaled bronchial transmission of pathogenic microdroplets generated from the upper respiratory tract, with implications for infection onset [PDF]

arXiv
Could the microdroplets formed by viscoelastic stretching and break-up of mucosal liquids in the upper respiratory tract (URT), when inhaled further downwind, explain the brisk pace at which deep lung infections emerge following onset of initial infection at the URT?

Unsupervised Airway Tree Clustering with Deep Learning: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) Lung Study [PDF]

arXiv
High-resolution full lung CT scans now enable the detailed segmentation of airway trees up to the 6th branching generation. The airway binary masks display very complex tree structures that may encode biological information relevant to disease risk and yet remain challenging to exploit via traditional methods such as meshing or skeletonization.

Ease of insertion of the laryngeal mask airway in pediatric surgical patients: Predictors of failure and outcome

Saudi Journal of Anaesthesia, 2016
Background: Laryngeal mask airway (LMA) is an useful alternative to endotracheal tube for airway management. The risk of life-threatening adverse respiratory events during its use is rare, but we need to know about the risk-adjusted prediction of its ...

AirwayNet: A Voxel-Connectivity Aware Approach for Accurate Airway Segmentation Using Convolutional Neural Networks [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
Airway segmentation on CT scans is critical for pulmonary disease diagnosis and endobronchial navigation. Manual extraction of airway requires strenuous efforts due to the complicated structure and various appearance of airway. For automatic airway extraction, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) based methods have recently become the state-of-the-art ...
