Many patients become hypoxic during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Following induced sedation, hypoxia or hypercapnia may follow . Monitoring the CO2 level during respiration (capnography) is non-invasive, easy to do, relatively inexpensive, and has been studied extensively .
Pulse oximetry estimates oxygen saturation in the arterial blood by trans-illuminating a translucent tissue (usually a fingertip, or an ear lobe) with light-emitting diodes at 2 specific wavelengths. Absorption of light at these different wavelengths (660 nm, red, and 940 nm, infrared respectively)
The ordinary pathway of intubating a morbidly obese patient for sleeve gastrectomy is bordered by the risk of difficult ventilation and intubation with the subsequent events of hypoxia and hypoventilation. When the patient is easy ventilated, it gives some sort of confidence and pleasure for the
Background
COVID-19 has shown a lower case-fatality rate compared to other major viral outbreaks in contemporary history, including severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) of 2002-2003. However, the relative susceptibility to symptomatic infection and the case fatality risk increase substantially
Sleep-related breathing disorders (SBAS), particularly obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), are one of the most common causes of non-restorative sleep. Disturbances of sleep disorders include apneas and hypopneas associated with either or not pharyngeal obstruction and hypoventilation. Depending
Most procedures in thoracic surgery require exclusion from ventilation of the lung undergoing surgery. One-lung ventilation (OLV), it is obtained mainly through the placement of a bi-lumen tube (DLT) in the patient's airway. A frequent complication that occurs during OLV it's unrecognized bad
Paravertebral nerve blocks (PVBs) can provide excellent intraoperative anaesthetic and postoperative analgesic conditions with less side effects and fewer contraindications than central neural blocks,Bilateral PVB has been successfully used in the thoracic, abdominal, and pelvic regions(12).
Obese patients are often scheduled for colonoscopy under analgo-sedation. Analgo-sedation is characterized by deep conscious sedation and preserved spontaneous breathing. Continuous intravenous application of sedatives favors patients' circulatory stability and application of oxygenation contributes
CCHS is a genetic autonomic nervous system disorder caused by heterozygous mutations in the PHOX2B gene. 90-92% are caused by polyalanine repeat expansion mutations (PARMs) with 4 to 13 additional alanines on the affected allele in the 20 alanine repeat region of exon 3 (resulting genotype is
A recent meta-analysis demonstrates that use of NIV in post-extubation in obstructive chronic bronchopathies seems to decrease re-intubation rate.
High Flow Oxygen, thanks to its properties (oxygen, humidification and heat with high flow) could be useful in this population in ventilatory weaning.
This study is a randomized controlled trial comparing oxygen delivery by nasal mask with continuous positive airway pressure versus standard care (nasal cannula or standard facemask) during propofol-based sedation for gastrointestinal endoscopy procedures to reduce the incidence of hypoxia. The
Apnea test (AT) is one of the most important examination during the diagnosis of brain death. It is usually performed at the end of each series of clinical examinations during diagnostic process. The most popular standard insufflation apnea test (I-AT) may be potentially harmful. It may cause some
Auto-immune diseases are characterized by an inappropriate inflammatory response against tissues in the body. These diseases, of which rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the most well-known, represent a major health care burden. Pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β are central in the
125 patients (78 men and 47 women) aged 18 - 65 years, with diagnosed resistant hypertension and moderate or severe OSA were included in the study, which was conducted in years 2014-2017 in the Department of Hypertension, Angiology and Internal Medicine and the Department of Pulmonology, Allergology
