Mechanical Instabilities of Biological Tubes [PDF]

Phys. Rev. Lett. 109, 018101 (2012), 2012
We study theoretically the shapes of biological tubes affected by various pathologies. When epithelial cells grow at an uncontrolled rate, the negative tension produced by their division provokes a buckling instability. Several shapes are investigated : varicose, enlarged, sinusoidal or sausage-like, all of which are found in pathologies of tracheal ...

Endotracheal tube-induced sore throat pain and inflammation is coupled to the release of mitochondrial DNA [PDF]

, 2017
In the absence of infection, the pathophysiology of endotracheal tube-induced sore throat pain is unclear. Activated neutrophils release elastase, reactive oxygen species, and inflammatory cytokines known to contribute to neuropathic pain. Sterile tissue

Laryngoscope and a new tracheal tube assist lightwand intubation in difficult airways due to unstable cervical spine. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
The WEI Jet Endotracheal Tube (WEI JET) is a new tracheal tube that facilitates both oxygenation and ventilation during the process of intubation and assists tracheal intubation in patients with difficult airway.

Obstructive Fibrinous Tracheal Pseudomembrane After Tracheal Intubation: A Case Report [PDF]

, 2010
Obstructive fibrinous tracheal pseudomembrane is a rare, but potentially fatal complication associated with endotracheal intubation. It has been known that the formation of tracheal pseudomembrane is related with intracuff pressure during endotracheal ...

Effect of a Strategy of a Supraglottic Airway Device vs Tracheal Intubation During Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest on Functional Outcome: The AIRWAYS-2 Randomized Clinical Trial

Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), 2018
Importance The optimal approach to airway management during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is unknown. Objective To determine whether a supraglottic airway device (SGA) is superior to tracheal intubation (TI) as the initial advanced airway management ...

Postintubation tracheal stenosis: Report of two cases and literature review

Indian Journal of Respiratory Care, 2019
Tracheal stenosis (TS) is a well-recognized yet underdiagnosed complication of prolonged intubation. Mechanisms include tracheal injury during intubation and ischemia of tracheal mucosa at the site of the endotracheal tube cuff and resultant fibrotic ...

Application of bedside real-time tracheal ultrasonography for confirmation of emergency endotracheal intubation in patients in the intensive care unit

Journal of International Medical Research, 2020
Objective Critically ill patients often require emergency endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation. When esophageal intubation is not confirmed early, treatment may be delayed, even for life-threatening conditions.
