Purpose From the perspective of infection prevention during the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, a recommendation was made to use surgical masks after extubation in patients in the operating room. For compliance with this recommendation, anesthesiologists need to administer oxygen to the patient with an oxygen mask over the surgical ma...

Nearly all patients receiving treatment in a peri-operative or intensive care setting receive supplemental oxygen therapy. It is biologically plausible that the dose of oxygen used might affect important patient outcomes. Most peri-operative research has focussed on oxygen regimens that target higher than normal blood oxygen levels. Whereas, intens...

Giant lung bullae are usually seen in patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Over time, air trapping leads to severe dyspnea and CO2 accumulation. In severe cases, overinflation and rupture of the bulla can cause secondary life-threatening tension pneumothorax. Since positive pressure ventilation exerts deleterious effects on t...

Background Early identification of critically ill coronavirus disease (COVID-19) patients in clinical settings is crucial in reducing the mortality rate. Therefore, this study aimed to determine whether the saturation of peripheral oxygen (SpO2) to fraction of inspiratory oxygen (FiO2) ratio (SF ratio) at admission is useful for the early identific...

Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) technology provides potential for cardiac surgery, but it is followed by myocardial injury and inflammation related to ischemia–reperfusion. This meta-analysis aimed to systematically evaluate the cardioprotective effect of dexmedetomidine on cardiac surgery under CPB and its effect on accompanied inflammation. PubMed, ...
