Jan 28th, 2023 - Arterial gas embolism following pulmonary barotrauma occurs in 13-24% of cases of diving deaths. The study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of a histomorphometric digital analysis in the detection of air space over-distension due to pulmonary baro...

Jan 26th, 2023 - High flow, low pressure oxygen will be supplied in microlaryngoscopy airway surgery. These procedures are usually performed with jet ventilation (UAB) or intermittent apnea (surgery centers). Jet ventilation provides oxygenation with limited venti...

Jan 25th, 2023 - Subjects will be asked to take a pill (pseudoephedrine or placebo) between 45 and 120 minutes before hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Subjects' ears will be examined before and after therapy and be asked to assess ear pain. There will be no further test...

Jan 21st, 2023 - The risk of barotrauma associated with different types of ventilatory support is unclear in COVID-19 patients. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the different respiratory support strategies on barotrauma occurrence; we al...

Jan 20th, 2023 - Percutaneous thermal ablative technique is a common radiological procedure for malignant lesions treatment. Controlled assisted ventilation during general anesthesia is the usual mode of ventilation, but high-frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) can b...

Dec 27th, 2022 - Patients and Methods: Admitted ventilated patients who are greater than 18 years old and fulfilled the Berlin's diagnostic criteria of moderate to severe ARDS will be selected to enter our study. The exclusion criteria include (1) patients with me...

Oct 24th, 2022 - Background Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD) and middle ear barotrauma (MEB) are the two most common complications of clinical hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBO2T) though these disorders can present in many other settings. There are currently two a...

Oct 5th, 2022 - Aim 1: To investigate the efficacy of pre-treatment with oral pseudoephedrine 60mg for decreasing MEB during HBOT. Hypothesis: Patients randomized to pseudoephedrine will have a lesser need for oxymetazoline rescue therapy while being compressed. ...

Jul 14th, 2022 - The posteroanterior (PA) and lateral view CXRs, as well as the CT scan, revealed the presence of retrosternal air and confirmed the patient’s diagnosis of pneumomediastinum. Pneumomediastinum—the presence of free air in the mediastinum—can develop.

Jun 13th, 2022 - I recall early in the pandemic being called to the bedside to examine an acutely decompensating patient with COVID-19. This was a 33-year-old, previously healthy woman, admitted to the medical ICU with hypoxemic respiratory failure requiring mecha.

Mar 17th, 2022 - I'm going to assume if you're reading this that you already know what transpulmonary pressure (PL) is and how esophageal manometry works. I'll provide a brief description here, but if you're looking for an in-depth review , I'd recommend a few of ...

Sep 25th, 2020 - Editor's note: Find the latest COVID-19 news and guidance in Medscape's Coronavirus Resource Center. This starts with observing droplet precautions to prevent exposure to droplets larger than 5 microns in size, Charles Griffis, PhD, CRNA, said at ...

Aug 7th, 2020 - The benefits from sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor drugs proven during the past year for cutting heart failure hospitalization rates substantially in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and slowing progression of chr...
