The clinical trade-off of intraluminal versus extraluminal bronchial blockers in children: a retrospective analysis of respiratory mechanics and airway trauma during lung isolation preparation [PDF]
Frontiers in PediatricsIntroductionOptimal bronchial blocker (BB) placement for pediatric lung isolation presents a clinical dilemma. Intraluminal placement restricts the narrow endotracheal tube (ETT) lumen, whereas extraluminal placement risks upper airway trauma.MethodsThis

Anesthesiology Clinics, 2021 Today's management of the ventilated patient still relies on the measurement of old parameters such as airway pressures and flow. Graphical presentations reveal the intricacies of patient-ventilator interactions in times of supporting the patient on the ventilator instead of fully ventilating the heavily sedated patient.
