Abstract
To evaluate oxygen flow through several transtracheal devices in native and right angle kinked states.
Eight catheter-over-needle, and two oxygen conveyance devices (Enk Flow Modulator 10 L/min flow and Manujet III Jet device 15, 30, 50 psi) were examined. Oxygen flow...

Abstract
Replies were received from 14 helicopter bases in Switzerland (93%), 25 bases in Austria (89%) and all three bases in Luxembourg. Anaesthesiologists were by far the most frequent attending physicians (68-85%). All except one bases reported to have at least one alternative supraglottic airway device....

Respiratory Care (56)4 2011
Abstract
Double-triggering (DT) is a frequent type of patient-ventilator asynchrony and has potentially severe consequences, such as alveolar overdistention or the generation of intrinsic PEEP. However, the first breath of DT could be patient-triggered (DT-P), auto-triggered (DT-A), or ventilator-triggered (D...

I (5 - <10 kg), groups II (10 - <15 kg), groups III (15-20 kg). The Baby EAR circuit was used for general anesthesia with endotracheal tube and spontaneous breathing. Different fresh gas flow of 4, 3.5, 3, 2.5, 2, and 1.5 liter per minute (LPM) was used consecutively The authors recorded end-tidal c...

A case of congenital central hypoventilation syndrome with PHOX2B gene mutation in a Korean neonate.
Abstract
Congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS) is a life-threatening disorder with apnea and cyanosis during sleep requiring immediate endotracheal intubation during the first day of life. The PHOX2B gene has been identified as the major gene involved in CCHS. This is the first report of a Korea...

Abstract
The delivered FIO2 was highest when oxygen was injected into the ventilator circuit at the patient y-piece using pulse dosing, with the VT corrected. The next highest FIO2 was with continuous flow at the inlet (LTV), and reservoir (Impact). Electrical power consumption was less during pulse dose ope...

Abstract
Short inspiratory rise time decreased inspiratory work load, regardless of the pressure-support level, triggering sensitivity, or inspiratory drive. Inspiratory work load can be maximally lowered by a combination of a short inspiratory rise time, a sharp triggering sensitivity, and a high inspirator...

Abstract
NRS is the delivery of ventilatory support without the need for an invasive airway. Two types of NRS are commonly used in the pediatric population: noninvasive continuous positive airway pressure and noninvasive positive pressure ventilation. In general, the evidence to support the use of NRS in chi...
