A Fully Automated System for Sizing Nasal PAP Masks Using Facial Photographs [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
We present a fully automated system for sizing nasal Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) masks. The system is comprised of a mix of HOG object detectors as well as multiple convolutional neural network stages for facial landmark detection. The models were trained using samples from the publicly available PUT and MUCT datasets while transfer learning was ...

Immunity, Inflammation and Airway Dysfunction in Elite Cross‐Country Skiers and Ice Hockey Players: A Systematic Review

Scandinavian Journal of Medicine &Science in Sports, Volume 35, Issue 4, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Strenuous exercise in elite sports impacts the immune system, leading to high rates of upper respiratory tract infections and airway dysfunction, such as asthma and exercise‐induced bronchoconstriction (EIB). Cross‐country (XC) skiers and ice hockey (IH) players are particularly affected due to their training environments and sports ...

Anesthetic management of a large mediastinal mass for tracheal stent placement

Revista Brasileira de Anestesiologia, 2016
The anesthetic management of patients with large mediastinal masses can be complicated due to the pressure effects of the mass on the airway or major vessels.

A comparison of various supraglottic airway devices for fiberoptical guided tracheal intubation

Brazilian Journal of Anesthesiology, 2017
Background: Fiberoptical assisted intubation via placed supraglottic airway devices has been described as safe and easy procedure to manage difficult airways. However visualization of the glottis aperture is essential for fiberoptical assisted intubation.

Dependence of Successful Airway Management in Neonatal Simulation Manikins on the Type of Supraglottic Airway Device and Providers’ Backgrounds

Children
Supraglottic airway devices such as laryngeal masks and i-gels are useful for airway management. The i-gel is a relatively new device that replaces the air-inflated cuff of the laryngeal mask with a gel-filled cuff.

Computational Analysis of Inspiratory and Expiratory Flow in the Lung Airway [PDF]

3rd Thermal and Fluids Engineering Conference (TFEC), 2018, 2018
Inspiratory and expiratory flow in a multi-generation pig lung airway was numerically studied at a peak tracheal flow rate corresponding to a Reynolds number of 1150. The model was validated by comparing velocity distributions with previous measurements for a simple airway bifurcation.

A Comparison to Facilitate Insertion of the Laryngeal Mask: Term of Recovery and Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting after Anesthesia with Propofol-Atracurium and Thiopental-Atracurium

Acta Medica Iranica, 2015
Laryngeal mask is a supraglothic instrument for ventilation of patients who are under anesthesia. Insertion of laryngeal mask requires maintaining sufficient depth of anesthesia to avoid airway reflex (gagging, coughing and spasms).

Comparison of Supreme Laryngeal Mask Airway and ProSeal Laryngeal Mask Airway during Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Balkan Medical Journal, 2012
This study compared the safety and efficacy of the Supreme Laryngeal Mask Airway (S-LMA) with that of the ProSeal-LMA (P-LMA) in laparoscopic cholecystectomy.Sixty adults were randomly allocated. Following anaesthesia induction, experienced LMA users inserted the airway devices.Oropharyngeal leak pressure was similar in groups (S-LMA, 27.8±2.9 cmH2O; P-
