Filter by:To determine the efficacy of oscillatory positive expiratory pressure (OPEP) therapy on patients admitted through the trauma service line for rib fractures, as compared to incentive spirometry (IS).
Guedel pattern or oropharyngeal airways (OPA) maintain an open oral airway in unconscious or semi-conscious patients by preventing the tongue from covering the epiglottis, but OPA placement carries a risk of inducing gag reflex and vomiting. Although various sizes are available, the design of the OPA has undergone little change since its introduction in the 1920s. The purpose of this study is to determine the utility of a novel airway device, the ManMaxAirway (MMA), as an alternative to the OPA.
The purpose of this clinical investigation is to compare transcutaneous CO2 (TCCO2) levels measured non-invasively using the SenTec Transcutaneous CO2 Monitor to PaCO2 levels measured on arterial blood gas (ABG) samples in neonatal patients being treated for respiratory distress in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Memorial University Medical Center.
