Airway Extubation: Removal of an endotracheal tube from the patient.Ventilator Weaning: Techniques for effecting the transition of the respiratory-failure patient from mechanical ventilation to spontaneous ventilation, while meeting the criteria that tidal volume be above a given threshold (greater than 5 ml/kg), respiratory frequency be below a given count (less than 30 breaths/min), and oxygen partial pressure be above a given threshold (PaO2 greater than 50mm Hg). Weaning studies focus on finding methods to monitor and predict the outcome of mechanical ventilator weaning as well as finding ventilatory support techniques which will facilitate successful weaning. Present methods include intermittent mandatory ventilation, intermittent positive pressure ventilation, and mandatory minute volume ventilation.Intubation, Intratracheal: A procedure involving placement of a tube into the trachea through the mouth or nose in order to provide a patient with oxygen and anesthesia.Airway Obstruction: Any hindrance to the passage of air into and out of the lungs.Airway Remodeling: The structural changes in the number, mass, size and/or composition of the airway tissues.Laryngeal Edema: Abnormal accumulation of fluid in tissues of any part of the LARYNX, commonly associated with laryngeal injuries and allergic reactions.Device Removal: Removal of an implanted therapeutic or prosthetic device.Airway Resistance: Physiologically, the opposition to flow of air caused by the forces of friction. As a part of pulmonary function testing, it is the ratio of driving pressure to the rate of air flow.Respiration, Artificial: Any method of artificial breathing that employs mechanical or non-mechanical means to force the air into and out of the lungs. Artificial respiration or ventilation is used in individuals who have stopped breathing or have RESPIRATORY INSUFFICIENCY to increase their intake of oxygen (O2) and excretion of carbon dioxide (CO2).Anesthesia Recovery Period: The period of emergence from general anesthesia, where different elements of consciousness return at different rates.Respiratory Insufficiency: Failure to adequately provide oxygen to cells of the body and to remove excess carbon dioxide from them. (Stedman, 25th ed)Tracheostomy: Surgical formation of an opening into the trachea through the neck, or the opening so created.Anesthesia, General: Procedure in which patients are induced into an unconscious state through use of various medications so that they do not feel pain during surgery.Bronchi: The larger air passages of the lungs arising from the terminal bifurcation of the TRACHEA. They include the largest two primary bronchi which branch out into secondary bronchi, and tertiary bronchi which extend into BRONCHIOLES and PULMONARY ALVEOLI.Respiratory System: The tubular and cavernous organs and structures, by means of which pulmonary ventilation and gas exchange between ambient air and the blood are brought about.Positive-Pressure Respiration: A method of mechanical ventilation in which pressure is maintained to increase the volume of gas remaining in the lungs at the end of expiration, thus reducing the shunting of blood through the lungs and improving gas exchange.Intensive Care Units: Hospital units providing continuous surveillance and care to acutely ill patients.Bronchial Hyperreactivity: Tendency of the smooth muscle of the tracheobronchial tree to contract more intensely in response to a given stimulus than it does in the response seen in normal individuals. This condition is present in virtually all symptomatic patients with asthma. The most prominent manifestation of this smooth muscle contraction is a decrease in airway caliber that can be readily measured in the pulmonary function laboratory.Airway Management: Evaluation, planning, and use of a range of procedures and airway devices for the maintenance or restoration of a patient's ventilation.Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Newborn: A condition of the newborn marked by DYSPNEA with CYANOSIS, heralded by such prodromal signs as dilatation of the alae nasi, expiratory grunt, and retraction of the suprasternal notch or costal margins, mostly frequently occurring in premature infants, children of diabetic mothers, and infants delivered by cesarean section, and sometimes with no apparent predisposing cause.Continuous Positive Airway Pressure: A technique of respiratory therapy, in either spontaneously breathing or mechanically ventilated patients, in which airway pressure is maintained above atmospheric pressure throughout the respiratory cycle by pressurization of the ventilatory circuit.

Available from: http://cancerweb.ncl.ac.uk/omd/)Respiratory Mucosa: The mucous membrane lining the RESPIRATORY TRACT, including the NASAL CAVITY; the LARYNX; the TRACHEA; and the BRONCHI tree. The respiratory mucosa consists of various types of epithelial cells ranging from ciliated columnar to simple squamous, mucous GOBLET CELLS, and glands containing both mucous and serous cells.

Are guidelines for non-invasive ventilation during weaning still valid? (5/49)

Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) has gained increasing acceptance over the years to reduce endotracheal intubation, pneumonia and to prevent or treat respiratory failure in patients with different diagnoses. The international consensus conference, and the British society guidelines on NIV ventilation have analyzed its use during the weaning phase concluding that there were still conflicting results of its use. However, recent clinical trials have shown clear clinical benefits on the use of NIV in several patient populations during the weaning period. Acute respiratory failure (ARF) during the weaning process is the main object of recently published studies. The latest published randomized trials on the application of NIV for acute respiratory failure following extubation failed to demonstrate any favorable outcome. Even so, the use of NIV during the process of weaning in patients experiencing multiple weaning failure or as a preventive therapy in patients at higher risk of respiratory deterioration showed improved clinical outcomes only in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and in particular in hypercapnic patients. Reduced invasive mechanical ventilation, tracheostomy and lower mortality rate at 90 days were the major advantages.  (+info)

Intensive Care Medicine: Abstract  Intensive Care Medicine: Abstract
Initial RSBI was similar in Extubation Success and Extubation Failure groups (77.0 ± 4.8, 77.0 ± 4.8, p = ns). Nevertheless, RSBI tended to remain unchanged or decreased in the Extubation Success group; in contrast RSBI tended to increase in the Extubation Failure group because of either increased RR and/or decreased VT (p , 0.001 for mean percent change RSBI over time), indicating worsening of the respiratory pattern. Quantitatively, only 7/63 subjects of the Extubation Success group demonstrated increased RSBI ≥20% at any time during the SBT. In contrast, in the Extubation Failure group, RSBI increased in all subjects during the SBT, and eight of nine subjects demonstrated an increase greater than 20%. Thus, with a 2-h SBT the optimal threshold was a 20% increase (sensitivity = 89%, specificity = 89%). Similar results were obtained at 30 min (threshold = 5% increase). Percent change of RSBI predicted successful extubation even when initial values were ≥105.. ...

Sustained-release morphine sulfate (SRMS) is a painkiller used in oncology. The purpose of our study was to assess its efficacy on postoperative morphine requirements in elective spine surgery. This was a placebo-controlled, randomized, double-blind study. Adults scheduled for spine surgery under general anesthesia were orally administered SRMS (30 mg) or a placebo 2 h before surgery. Primary endpoint was postoperative cumulated morphine consumption through patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) during the 12 h following extubation. Statistical analysis was performed using a sequential method, the triangular test. The study was stopped after the sixth analysis (51 patients had been included; placebo: 26, SRMS: 25). Age, weight, sex ratio, type of surgery, intra-operative sufentanil consumption, anesthesia duration and time to extubation were similar in the two groups. Morphine consumption through PCA during the 12 h following extubation was significantly lower in the SRMS group (mean +/- SD: 10.5 ...

This project was initiated with a voice of the customer survey to assess cultural readiness for change. During the define phase of this process improvement, the NICU moved from an open bay design to private rooms. The walking distance between patients and the size of the new single-patient room NICU (4 times the square footage of the open unit) required the staff to adjust to new workflows. This transition presented some initial difficulty, especially with the simultaneous implementation of some of the improvements. We anticipated that the 2 caregivers to turn model would be the most difficult to implement, but staff were able to adapt. Survey results demonstrated to our process improvement team that the culture did not support the perception that unplanned extubations were always an unpreventable event. The majority of respiratory and nursing staff reported that at least some of the unplanned extubations were preventable. The free text portion of the survey provided a number of comments from ...

Clinical Evaluation of Swallowing Disorders as a Predictor of Extubation Failure - Full Text View - ClinicalTrials.gov  Clinical Evaluation of Swallowing Disorders as a Predictor of Extubation Failure - Full Text View - ClinicalTrials.gov
Patients with failed extubation stay significantly longer in an intensive care unit (ICU) and have a higher mortality rate, than those intubated successfully. Reintubation is associated with life-threatening complications and a poor prognosis. Functional respiratory tests are frequently used as weaning parameters, however, they are not accurate enough to predict extubation failure. The incidence of swallowing dysfunction is underestimated, mainly among patients whose intubation lasts longer than 48 h.We previously observed that the assessment of the swallowing function and oropharyngeal motricity, conducted by the physiotherapist before extubation could be helpful for making decisions to extubate patients intubated for over 6 days. The objective of this study is to validate a scale previously devised and used for physiotherapist bedside evaluation of the swallowing function and oropharyngeal motricity, among patients intubated for over 6 days, to determine whether this scale is a good predictor ...

Study Objectives: Following extubation in the intensive care unit (ICU), upper airway (UA) edema and respiratory depressants may promote UA dysfunction. We tested the hypothesis that opioids increase the risk of sleep apnea early after extubation. Methods: 56 ICU patients underwent polysomnography the night after extubation. Airflow limitation during wakefulness was identified using bedside spirometry. Correlation and ordinal regression analyses were used to quantify effects of pre-extubation opioid dose on post-extubation Apnea-Hypopnea-Index (AHI) and severity of sleep apnea and whether or not inspiratory airway obstruction (ratio of maximum expiratory and inspiratory flow at 50% of vital capacity (MEF50/MIF50)≥1) during wakefulness predicts airway obstruction during sleep ...

That leaves the final piece of the puzzle - that of monitoring - and this happens in the ED when the cardiac arrest victims arrive. Therein lies the weakest link - ourselves. How often, when we receive cardiac arrest victims, do actually think about, monitor, or make subtle changes to improve the quality of CPR? Do we check that the mechanical CPR on the patient is actually providing adequate flow? Or when manual CPR is performed, do we check on its quality? Do we aggressively check compression timing, depth, adequate recoil and minimal hands-off time? Do we routinely use end-tidal CO2 monitoring to guide CPR and assess cardiac output ...

Want to reduce reintubation rates? - ESICM  Want to reduce reintubation rates? - ESICM
Post-extubation respiratory failure causes between 5-30% of patients to require reintubation, which is associated with increased mortality. Spontaneous breathing trials aim to evaluate when a patient is ready for extubation and involves a trial of T-tube, low level pressure support or continuous positive airway pressure for varying durations ranging from 30 to 120 minutes. It was hypothesised that a rest period after a spontaneous breathing trial will improve extubation rates.. Method. A parallel, two-arm, prospective, randomised controlled trial in 17 Spanish Medical-Surgical ICUs aimed to test this hypothesis. From October 2013 to January 2015, 470 mechanically ventilated patients who had been receiving Mechanical Ventilation for at least 12 hours were enrolled.. If spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) was successful they were either extubated immediately (Control group) or reconnected to the ventilator with the previous ventilator parameters for 1 hour of rest and then extubated (Rest ...

An interesting study by Tulaimat and Mokhlesi1 regarding the accuracy and reliability of extubation decisions that recently appeared in the Journal merits additional comment. The implicit study question is whether an informed decision to extubate following a successful spontaneous breathing trial is any better than random chance. By study design, the clinical vignettes were selected so that, if a decision to extubate was made by coin flip, without any clinical information, the sensitivity and specificity (as defined in the study) would be expected to reach 50%. It was disappointing that, overall, experienced clinicians performed marginally better than a coin flip in predicting extubation success (ie, 57% sensitivity), but they were highly inaccurate in predicting weaning failure (ie, 31% specificity).. In a post hoc analysis, clinicians whose extubation decision-making was relatively aggressive achieved a higher sensitivity (62%), whereas clinicians whose extubation decision-making was ...

The average number of hospitalized newborns was 43.4 per day. The average number of newborns under MV was 22.4 per day. The average number of tracheostomized newborns was 4.4 per day, and the average number of intubated (non-tracheostomized) newborns was 17.9 per day. The mean duration of MV prior to UE was 11.2 days (range 1 to 39 days). Most UE (50%) occurred during the first 7 days of MV (Table 1). The following clinical signs suggested the occurrence of UE: audible weeping in 22 cases (26.8%), exteriorization of tubes in 22 cases (26.8%), cyanosis in 19 cases (23.2%), worsening of the respiratory pattern in 10 cases (12.2%), gastric contents in the ETT in six cases (7.3%), and bradycardia in three cases (3.7%).

There are two schools of thought about how to extubate patients at the conclusion of general anesthesia: Allow the patient to wake up with the endotracheal tube in place, gagging on the tube and flailing like a fish on a line, while someone behind the patients head bleats, "Open your eyes! Take a deep breath!" Or: Remove the endotracheal tube while the patient is still sleeping peacefully, which results in the smooth emergence ...

Risk factors for adverse outcome after superior cavopulmonary anastomosis for hypoplastic left heart syndrome  Risk factors for adverse outcome after superior cavopulmonary anastomosis for hypoplastic left heart syndrome
Abstract: Objective: Outcome of staged palliation for hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) has improved over the past decades. We sought to evaluate the outcome of the second palliative procedure, the superior cavopulmonary anastomosis (SCPA), in a single-centre cohort and to identify risk factors for adverse outcome. Methods: Full data on all 119 HLHS patients who underwent SCPA in our centre between January 1996 and December 2007 were analysed. Results: Early adverse outcome (death or cardiac transplant within 30 days after surgery or before hospital discharge) was 3.4%. Late adverse outcome (death or transplant after hospital discharge but before the next operative procedure) was 8.7%. Postoperative complications occurred in 30% of patients (n =36), with transient arrhythmia (n =11; 9%) and pulmonary artery stenosis or thrombosis (n =10; 8%) being the most common. The presence of more than moderate tricuspid valve regurgitation after surgery proved to be a strong predictor of late adverse ...

BACKGROUND: The use of cuffed tracheal tubes (TTs) in small children is still controversial. The aim of this study was to compare post-extubation morbidity and TT exchange rates when using cuffed vs uncuffed tubes in small children. METHODS: Patients aged from birth to 5 yr requiring general anaesthesia with TT intubation were included in 24 European paediatric anaesthesia centres. Patients were prospectively randomized into a cuffed TT group (Microcuff PET) and an uncuffed TT group (Mallinckrodt, Portex, Rüsch, Sheridan). Endpoints were incidence of post-extubation stridor and the number of TT exchanges to find an appropriate-sized tube. For cuffed TTs, minimal cuff pressure required to seal the airway was noted; maximal cuff pressure was limited at 20 cm H(2)O with a pressure release valve. Data are mean (SD). RESULTS: A total of 2246 children were studied (1119/1127 cuffed/uncuffed). The age was 1.93 (1.48) yr in the cuffed and 1.87 (1.45) yr in the uncuffed groups. Post-extubation stridor ...

Among 60 patients, 29 cases developed respiratory failure within 48 h, and 14 cases were re-intubated or died within 1 week, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that E/Ea (average) after SBT [odds ratio (OR) 1.450, 95% confidence intervals (CI) 1.092-1.926, P = 0.01] and left ventricular ejection fraction were associated with respiratory failure. The AUC of E/Ea (average) after SBT was 0.789, and a cut-off value ≥ 12.5 showed the highest diagnostic accuracy with a sensitivity and specificity of 72.4% and 77.4%, respectively.

Early extubation of cardiac surgery patients has become increasingly important. The assessment of the patient before an early extubation is crucial and the intensive care nurses (ICU nurses) in this estimation is there for very important.. The aim of this study was to examine critical care nurses knowledge of early extubation, and what view ICU nurse has about factors that affect the time to extubation of cardiac surgery patients.. A quantitative approach with descriptive and comparative design was used. Selection was all ICU nurses at a thoracic intensive care unit who were clinically active in patient care.. The study showed that ICU nurses had good knowledge of why an early extubation was essential. However, the knowledge about the units extubation criteria was low. ICU nurses felt that the criteria for the cardiac surgery patients on the unit was adequate. The time target of 90 minutes was reasonable. No relationship existed between professional experience and knowledge of the extubation ...

The cross-clamp is then released, and the remainder of the procedure is performed as the patient is warmed. The PTFE graft that was anastomosed to the inferior caval vein is now carried up to the undersurface of the pulmonary artery, to either the site of the prior atriopulmonary anastomosis or a site more medial, and a patch is placed on the site of the old atriopulmonary anastomosis. As the patient is warmed and started on low-dose inotropic support, the bidirectional superior cavopulmonary anastomosis is performed with running prolene suture. The patient is then ventilated and weaned from cardiopulmonary bypass, and the epicardial pacing system is placed with the heart beating. We have used bipolar steroid eluting leads for the atrial and ventricular lead placement. These are then connected to a dual-chamber device with atrial antitachycardia capabilities.14 The completed operation is shown in Figure 7.12. RESULTS. In our series, the operative mortality was 3 out of 149 patients (2%). One ...

The use of telemedicine here also promises interesting possibilities. If we can treat a patient remotely by telling somebody else what to do, does that mean anesthesiologists can work from home? Imagine hiring some medical student, or even a premed student to sit in the OR for you. Using telemedicine you can have him intubate the patient for you. You can then electronically monitor the patients vitals and tell the student what meds to give. At the end of the case the student will show you the train of fours and then you tell him to reverse and extubate the patient while you are sitting at home in your PJs watching CNBC on your 52 inch LCD. This would be even cheaper for the hospital than hiring a bunch of CRNAs ...

BCPA is increasingly used for interim palliation of complex cyanotic congenital heart disease.2 10 Excellent intermediate term palliation is achieved and the advantages over a systemic to pulmonary arterial shunt are well established.11-13 However, it is well recognised that progressive systemic arterial desaturation occurs and a number of factors have been proposed to explain this.14-16 This includes macroscopic PAVM which have long been recognised as a serious late complication of the cavopulmonary anastomosis.1 The finding of similar abnormalities in chronic liver disease lead to the suggestion that the loss of "hepatic factor" from the pulmonary circulation might be responsible for these changes.4 17If loss or reduced concentrations of hepatic factor are implicated in the development of PAVM, then pulmonary arteriovenous shunting (a right to left shunt) should occur early following BCPA, and PAVM merely represent the end stage of the process.. Various methods are now available for the ...

The Functionally Univentricular Heart | JACC: Journal of the American College of Cardiology  The Functionally Univentricular Heart | JACC: Journal of the American College of Cardiology
The question regarding long-term outcome in patients with a functionally univentricular heart undergoing a Fontan procedure based on whether there is right or left ventricular morphological dominance is one that has been investigated for many years. The paper in this issue of the Journal by dUdekem et al. (1) from the Royal Childrens Hospital in Melbourne, Australia, found that in their nearly 30-year series reviewing 499 patients, right ventricular dominance was the single most important risk factor for death. Their other conclusion was that this risk factor seemed to be important only before the bidirectional superior cavopulmonary anastomosis (BSCPA). The interesting speculation is that earlier BSCPA may potentially modify the risk factor of right ventricular morphology. Both of these conclusions are important for clinicians to consider when guiding patients along a Fontan pathway, especially when considering timing of BSCPA and cardiac transplantation as an alternative.. Their review (1) ...

Objectives: To evaluate the impact of a mechanical ventilation protocol applied by a respiratory therapist (RT) on the outcomes in COPD patients.. Methods: A novel mechanical ventilation protocol was initiated by a respiratory therapist. Outcomes of patients during a 6-month period were compared to those of patients treated by physicians without a protocol during the preceding 6 months.. Results: A total of 170 patients were enrolled. Extubation success was higher (98% vs. 78%, p= 0.014) and median durations of weaning, mechanical ventilation (Figure 1) and ICU stay (Figure 2) were shorter in the protocol group (2 vs. 26 hours, log rank p , 0.001, 3.1 vs. 5 days, log rank p , 0.001 and 6 vs. 12 days, log rank p , 0.001 respectively). ...

Heated, Humidified High-Flow Nasal Cannula Versus Nasal CPAP for Respiratory Support in Neonates | Articles | Pediatrics  Heated, Humidified High-Flow Nasal Cannula Versus Nasal CPAP for Respiratory Support in Neonates | Articles | Pediatrics
In this multicenter randomized trial involving neonates ≥28 weeks gestational age undergoing planned noninvasive respiratory support, we found no significant difference between HHHFNC and nCPAP with regard to the primary outcome of intubation within the initial 72 hours of support. In addition, we found no differences between infants randomly assigned to nCPAP compared with HHHFNC for several respiratory outcomes, including duration of oxygen supplementation, diagnosis of BPD, or discharge from the hospital on oxygen. Despite concerns over unregulated/unmonitored pressure delivery during HHHFNC support, we found no differences in the occurrence rate for any form of air leak. The outcome results from this relatively large randomized trial indicate that the use of HHHFNC, as described in this report, appears to be as effective and as safe as nCPAP in this population of infants.. The actual approach to "high-flow" nasal cannula must be carefully considered in evaluating all studies. Some ...

BPD | All Things Neonatal  BPD | All Things Neonatal
by winnineo , Nov 12, 2015 , Neonatal. In 2018 where do we stand on this question? Upcoming retrospective trials and work by EPIQ-4 may help to resolve this issue. In the meantime what does the existing evidence say?. The decision to extubate an extremely low birthweight infant is one of the most common sources of disagreement and anxiety in the NICU. As a resident, I recall an unwritten rule that "no baby under 750g will have a trial of extubation as they will most certainly fail". As time went on however, studies suggested that not only is this a false statement but also that the duration of intubation was directly correlated with risk of BPD. As Danan described, for infants less than a 1000g, delaying extubation when they had reached minimal settings did not result in lower rates of BPD. Moreover 60 - 70% of infants who have such extubation attempts are not reintubated within a week, so it is possible to have success.. The detractors however express concern about the 30-40% who do require ...

Matthew was weaned from his sedative last night at 6pm. He awoke around 9 pm and he had a rough night. He was awake; but the doctor didnt want to extubate him (I wont go into any details on this other than we had a very frustrated nurse and mom by morning). So all night he coughed and cried and fought the tube. Even though he is intubated, you can tell he is crying by his facial expressions. You cant hear it, but you can tell. So, I didnt sleep well because I was up and down with him trying to comfort him. I was happy when morning came because I was sure they would pull the tube. This morning, his lab work showed that his phenobarbital level (a medication used to control seizures) was still low in his blood. It was a little confusing to the neurologist because he was getting this medication twice a day orally and also daily IV boluses. His blood levels, though would not go up and had even decreased today. So they doubled his IV dose. Immediately after that dose he feel asleep and was ...

27 patients died or were successfully extubated within 48 h, and, as per our study design, were excluded from the study and statistical analysis. Patients receiving no sedation had significantly more days without ventilation (n=55; mean 13·8 days, SD 11·0) than did those receiving interrupted sedation (n=58; mean 9·6 days, SD 10·0; mean difference 4·2 days, 95% CI 0·3-8·1; p=0·0191). No sedation was also associated with a shorter stay in the intensive care unit (HR 1·86, 95% CI 1·05-3·23; p=0·0316), and, for the first 30 days studied, in hospital (3·57, 1·52-9·09; p=0·0039), than was interrupted sedation. No difference was recorded in the occurrences of accidental extubations, the need for CT or MRI brain scans, or ventilator-associated pneumonia.

High-flow nasal cannula (tube) therapy for infants with bronchiolitis | Cochrane  High-flow nasal cannula (tube) therapy for infants with bronchiolitis | Cochrane
Bronchiolitis is a common illness affecting the lower (smaller) respiratory airways in infants (younger than 24 months of age). Usually caused by a viral infection, it results in breathing problems, including cough, fast breathing, wheezing and can cause poor feeding. It is a major cause of hospitalisation in infants. Current treatment involves supporting infants to breath until the infection clears. An emerging method to support breathing is using blended, heated, humidified air and oxygen, through nasal cannulae (tubes) at flow rates higher than two litres per minute, which is the maximum for conventional dry oxygen delivery. This is known as high-flow nasal cannula therapy and it allows the comfortable delivery of high flow rates of an air/oxygen blend which may improve ventilation. This may lead to a reduced need for invasive respiratory support (e.g. intubation) and may have a clinical advantage over other treatments by preventing drying of the upper airway. This review assessed the effects ...

Background: Routine preoperative catheterization (CATH) is often performed in patients with single ventricle physiology prior to superior cavopulmonary anastomosis (SCPA) to evaluate candidacy for this procedure. We hypothesized that cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) can safely and effectively evaluate such patients with similar outcomes following SCPA.. Methods: Single center, prospective, randomized clinical trial comparing CMR to CATH in patients considered for SPCA from 1/2003 to 5/2006. Patients were followed from pre-operative evaluation to 3 months after SPCA.. Results: Of 91 eligible patients, 81 were enrolled based on screening echocardiogram, fulfillment of inclusion criteria, and informed consent. Patients were randomized to CATH (n = 41) or CMR (n = 40). There were no differences between groups in demographics (mean age 5.2 months), ventricular type (52% hypoplastic left heart syndrome), prior operation, oxygen saturation, ventricular function, and AV valve regurgitation.

Sixty-five children who underwent biventricular repair were extubated early (immediately after chest closure in the operating room) or were extubated later on intensive care unit (ICU). The results of these two different strategies were compared. Early extubation resulted in better cardiac output, fewer pleural effusion, and shorter stay in the ICU and hospital. The authors concluded that early extubation is safe and feasible and has a beneficial effect on the postoperative course.. ...

This study is the first to comprehensively evaluate quality improvement initiatives aimed at reducing the amount of inappropriate tests performed across common cardiac imaging modalities. First, we have identified components of these interventions that may provide the most consistent benefits in reducing inappropriate testing. Second, we have identified important limitations in the literature to inform further studies, which is directly relevant to determining the most effective methods of designing and evaluating initiatives aimed at reducing unnecessary cardiac testing.. Determining the optimal strategies to reduce inappropriate cardiac testing is important for both improving the quality of cardiac testing and reducing unwarranted health expenditures. Although quality improvement initiatives were associated with an overall reduction in inappropriate cardiac testing, the significant heterogeneity observed between studies in our meta-analysis signifies that the effects of these interventions ...

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common long-term condition, affecting 5 to 10% of the population. CKD is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease, established renal failure (ERF) and all cause mortality [1-3]. Patients with CKD are far more likely to die prematurely from cardiovascular disease than progress to ERF requiring dialysis or transplantation. The presence of proteinuria confers additional cardiovascular risk.. CKD is classified into five stages based upon a measurement of kidney function and the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) determines the class of CKD for the more severe stages (Stage three to five). Stage one and two are the mildest of the five stages of CKD and require evidence of kidney damage, usually the presence of proteinuria, to confirm the diagnosis. Stages three to five CKD can be diagnosed by eGFR alone; and stage three is now often split into stages 3a and 3b, as there are far higher rates of cardiovascular co-morbidity in stage 3b disease. ...

After securing the test board by the board holders clamps, an operator installs a vacuum pick up tip and nozzle suitable for the CSP device. Implementing machines optics, the nozzle is aligned over the component. A pre-established profile is selected from the software library and Start icon is selected. At this point the process is hands-off. Rework station automatically drives the nozzle down to a board and covers the CSP. Machine then activates vacuum pick up tip so as to remove the component once reflow is achieved and the heating cycle is initiated. Figure 2 shows a nozzle covering the device during reflow. Heating is precisely controlled by the software (Figure 3). It mimics an original profile with heat applied from both top and bottom sides of a board. Source of bottom heating is Quartz IR while the top side is forced air or nitrogen convection.

The Duty to End the State | Strike-The-Root: A Journal Of Liberty  The Duty to End the State | Strike-The-Root: A Journal Of Liberty
Column by Jim Davies.. Exclusive to STR. Many reading this already understand the Self-ownership Axiom; that we each own our own lives by right, and hence that all government is an unnatural and ruinous appendage. Among those who do, though, surprisingly there is disagreement over what to do about it.. Some hold that resistance by such voluntaryists in the present government-saturated environment must never be more than nonviolent non-cooperation, practicing our principle of non-agression while giving the State no assistance than can be avoided--but otherwise taking no particular action to end its malignant existence. Even among the "comments" beneath articles, its not unusual to see posts like "I have no responsibility to reform society." And the fact is, those commenters are not incorrect; we dont. Each has only the responsibility to maximize the happiness of his own life--and that responsibility is only to oneself, not to anybody else.. So that hands-off view stems not so much from a ...

By Freya Bellin. This pilaf proves that a simple grain like rice can be transformed into something pretty complex, without too much work on your part. The Spanish flavors of this dish come through strongly-especially the smoky pimentón, which is a great contrast to the overall sweetness of the dish. I personally found myself digging through the bowl for even more apricots, so you may want to chop up and toss in a few more than the recipe suggests. You could experiment with other dried fruits here as well, like golden raisins.. While most of the cook-time in this recipe is hands-off, brown rice can require some attention. I added more water a few times throughout the simmering process, as the pot was starting to dry out, but the rice was still crunchy. The couscous variation would certainly be useful if youre in a time-bind or if you want to multi-task. The wonderful thing about a recipe like this is that, thanks to the protein from almonds and chickpeas, it can be a meal in and of itself. I ...

Fur & skin production - ESDAW  Fur & skin production - ESDAW
Because of the acknowledged hazards of leather production, the process is being discontinued in most European countries and the U.S., and operations are moving overseas. Bangladesh Tanners Association President M. Harun Chowdhury said, "Most of the European countries and USA are discontinuing leather processing, as [the] leather industry is an environmentally hazardous one."(20) As a result, the health of people in other parts of the world is now being threatened by the tanning industry. In Bangladesh, 90 percent of the leather exported comes from a slum where tanneries wastewater isnt even treated. According to a Human Rights Watch report, the contaminated water flows into the nearby river and "[w]hile the government takes a hands-off approach, local residents fall sick and workers suffer daily from their exposure to harmful tannery chemicals."(21 ...

Multiportal device with linked segmented cannulae and method for percutaneous surgery - Patent # 7118577 - PatentGenius  Multiportal device with linked segmented cannulae and method for percutaneous surgery - Patent # 7118577 - PatentGenius
The device of the invention consists of a plurality of tubular cannulae, consisting of stackable segments, which prior to the surgery, are linked together at their distal ends by flexible elements, such as wires or threads. All the threads, the number of which is one less than the number of the used cannulae, are passed through one of the cannulae and the distal ends of the threads are either attached to the walls of other cannulae, at their distal ends, or pulled back through one of the cannula forming the loop at the distal end and fixed at the proximal end of the cannula. During surgery, the cannulae with their distal ends being linked are inserted into the patients body through an incision, then the surgeon makes additional incisions, disconnects some segments from selected cannulae, subcutaneously pulls them to the additional incisions, and reconnects previously disconnected segments. The surgery is then performed using the cannulae for guiding

Abstract 13551: Invasive Hemodynamic Assessment of Cardiac Output State After MitraClip Therapy | Circulation  Abstract 13551: Invasive Hemodynamic Assessment of Cardiac Output State After MitraClip Therapy | Circulation
Introduction: MitraClip therapy has become a therapeutic alternative for high surgical risk patients with symptomatic mitral regurgitation (MR). There are limited data about early and no data about later hemodynamic consequences after MR correction and about the impact of elimination of regurgitant flow on cardiac output state .. Methods: We studied invasive hemodynamic parameters before operation (conscious non-sedated patients, T1), immediately after MitraClip implantation (still under general anaesthesia, T2) and on day 1 (late) after procedure (conscious, extubated patients, T3) using right heart cathetrization.. Results: Of 25 MitraClip patients (72% male; mean age 70y) with functional MR, in 20 were performed invasive measurements in all time points. MitraClip implantation resulted in an increase in cardiac index (CI) from 1.8±0.5 (T1) to 2.4±0.5(T2) and to 3.2±0.5 L/min/m2 (T3), in a decrease in systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI) from 3759±847 (T1) to 2508±551 (T2) and to ...

Low pressure support changes the rapid shallow breathing index (RSBI) in critically ill patients on mechanical ventilation  Low pressure support changes the rapid shallow breathing index (RSBI) in critically ill patients on mechanical ventilation
In the between-group comparison, there was no significant difference between the values for RSBI_MIN (34.78±14.65 and 38.63±12.31). In contrast, the RSBI_ESP was higher in the FG compared to the SG (80.09±20.71 and 60.94±24.64; p,0.05). In the FG, only one patient showed RSBI,105 cycles/min/L at the time of extubation.. Discussion This study compared RSBI measurements obtained with the aid of PSV to measurements obtained in accordance with criteria established by Yang and Tobin7, demonstrating that the use of ventilatory support can change the RSBI value in a population of critically ill patients who required MV for more than 72 hours. In an ICU, it is routine to perform clinical evaluations and daily evaluations of weaning parameters in an attempt to identify patients who are able to conduct an SBT and, thus, be extubated as early as possible to avoid complications associated with the long-term use of MV. Therefore, weaning parameters are used as tools to guide the decision to extubate ...

Some patients do have trouble keeping their eyes open, but I find as long as you tell them to keep blinking they get enough of the fluid in. I still think its better than the Morgan lens, as Ive had patients refuse further irrigation after 5-10mins with a Morgan lens due to severe pain (after the LA washes out) which defeats the purpose entirely. Its also much easier to stop the irrigation & top up the local with the nasal cannuale. Some people have suggested adding lignocaine to the bag of Saline with your Morgan lens, which makes sense in theory, but you may as well just use this technique with the nasal cannulae! I also worry about particulate matter being trapped under the morgan lens (eg with pool chlorine powder in the eye) which is less of a concern with a continuous stream running out of the eye.. ...

Predictors of non-invasive ventilation tolerance in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. | IRInSubria  Predictors of non-invasive ventilation tolerance in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. | IRInSubria
BACKGROUND: The most frequent cause of death in patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is respiratory failure. Recently, it has been shown that non-invasive ventilation improves survival and quality of life in ALS patients with respiratory failure, but little is known about predictors of non-invasive ventilation adaptation and tolerance. In this study we evaluated the effect of a comprehensive information about non-invasive ventilation use and a prolonged and intensive monitoring on tolerance to this palliative care. METHODS: We prospectively monitored all consecutive ALS patients with chronic respiratory failure and indication to non-invasive ventilation between January 2005 and December 2007. Non-invasive ventilation adaptation was always performed in a hospital setting. RESULTS: Forty-four patients were considered eligible: six declined the non-invasive ventilation proposal and one was excluded due to severe fronto-temporal dementia. Non-invasive ventilation was offered to ...

Extubation Algorithm for Major Neck and Upper Airway Surgery (Preview) | Society for Head and Neck Anesthesia  Extubation Algorithm for Major Neck and Upper Airway Surgery (Preview) | Society for Head and Neck Anesthesia
Presented by Laura Cavallone, M.D., Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri.. Dear SHANA members,. I would like to share with you the "Extubation Algorithm" that I have developed for major neck and upper airway surgery. I believe it offers a reasonable, pragmatic approach to this high-risk patient population, where early extubation failure may occur in nearly 11% of patients due to postoperative laryngo-pharyngeal edema and airway obstruction.. The "Extubation Algorithm" that is offered for your attention has served me well so far in my practice. Yet, it was developed 2 years ago, and will certainly benefit from your constructive feedback. The recently published Difficult Airway Society Guidelines for the management of tracheal extubation and ASA Practice Guidelines for Management of the Difficult Airway have both advanced our appreciation....

Respiratory3

search
  • Traditional awake extubation leads to respiratory complications and hemodynamic response which are detrimental in neurosurgery, ENT surgery and patients with comorbidities. (amrita.edu)
  • Respiratory complications such as bucking, coughing, desaturation and the need for airway maneuvers and hemodynamic response were noted in both groups. (amrita.edu)
  • Exchange extubation with LMA decreases respiratory complications and hemodynamic stress response when compared to traditional awake extubation. (amrita.edu)

Incidence4

search
  • The incidence of failed airways and of cardiac arrest related to airway instrumentation in the ICU is much higher than that of elective intubations performed in the operating room. (umassmed.edu)
  • This study established the incidence and primary causes of unplanned extubation in newborns in the neonatal intensive care units of the Hospital Sofia Feldman, Belo Horizonte (Minas Gerais). (scielo.br)
  • The incidence of unplanned extubation in the investigated neonatal intensive care units was low during the study period compared to previously reported data. (scielo.br)
  • Nevertheless, the assessment of the quality of procedures, the continuous follow-up of newborns, and the monitoring of the causes of extubation are required to further reduce this incidence. (scielo.br)

Ventilation1

search
  • Although these treatments may be life saving, prolonged ventilation is associated with the development of chronic lung disease, pulmonary and systemic infections, and damage to the upper airways. (bmj.com)

Patient's2

search
  • Some authors (4,6) report the premature removal of the intratracheal cannula associated with AE, and other authors (8,9) suggest that UE involves the premature removal of the intratracheal cannula by the patient's own actions (i.e., self-extubation or deliberate spontaneous extubation). (scielo.br)
  • And having difficult airway training will at some point save your patient's life. (theairwaysite.com)

Randomly allocated1
