Comparison of tracheal tube cuff pressure with two technique: fixed volume and minimal leak test techniques
Published in Journal of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Research
Introduction: There is a correlation between endotracheal cuff pressure and airway complication; therefore, cuff pressure measurement is of an essential importance. The gold standard technique is measuring the cuff pressure by a calibrated manometer. However, there are several methods that injects air into balloon pilot and measures the cuff pressu...
Tapia’s Syndrome after Cosmetic Malar Augmentation: a Case Report
Published in Journal of Dentistry
Tapia’s syndrome is an infrequent complication of airway manipulation. It is usually due to an extra-cranial ipsilateral injury to the hypoglossal nerve and the recurrent laryngeal branch of the vagal nerve, which can happen after any surgery. It is usually characterized by unilateral paralysis of the muscle of the tongue and vocal cords although i...
The Relationship between Orotracheal Intubation Difficulty Scoring Systems and Anthropometric Factors.
Published in Advanced journal of emergency medicine
Although rare, but it is very important to understand that intubation will be difficult for which of the patients. Some scoring systems are available in this regard that influenced by many factors such as body anthropometric factors. This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between Mallampati score, biting the upper lip as well as 2...
Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptor gamma (PPARγ) Agonist Rosiglitazone Ameliorate Airway Inflammation by Inhibit...
Published in Medical Science Monitor : International Medical Journal of Experimental and Clinical Research
Background The purpose of this study was to explore the function and mechanism of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor agonist (PPARγ) in the toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2)/nod-like receptor with pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammatory corpuscle pathway of asthmatic mice. Material/Methods Eighteen female mice (C57) were randomly divided i...
Emergence times and airway reactions during general anaesthesia with remifentanil and a laryngeal mask airway: A multice...
...
BACKGROUND: Avoidance of airway complications and rapid emergence from anaesthesia are indispensable for the use of a laryngeal mask airway (LMA). Evidence from adequately powered randomised studies with a low risk of bias for the optimal anaesthetic in this context is limited. OBJECTIVE: We tested the hypothesis that when using remifentanil-based ...
A Randomized Comparison of In-hospital Rescuer Positions for Endotracheal Intubation in a Difficult Airway
Introduction: Emergency endotracheal intubation (ETI) is a common and critical procedure performed in both prehospital and in-hospital settings. Studies of prehospital providers have demonstrated that rescuer position influences ETI outcomes. However, studies of in-hospital rescuer position for ETI are limited. While we adhere to strict standards f...
A new physiological model for studying the effect of chest compression and ventilation during cardiopulmonary resuscitat...
...
BACKGROUND: Studying ventilation and intrathoracic pressure (ITP) induced by chest compressions (CC) during Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation is challenging and important aspects such as airway closure have been mostly ignored. We hypothesized that Thiel Embalmed Cadavers could constitute an appropriate model.
METHODS: We assessed respiratory mechanics...
Reformulations of practice: beyond experience in paramedic airway management.
Published in CJEM
"Deliberate practice" and "feedback" are necessary for the development of expertise. We explored clinical performance in settings where these features are inconsistent or limited, hypothesizing that even in algorithmic domains of practice, clinical performance reformulates in ways that may threaten patient safety, and that experience fails to predi...
