Filter by:In modern anesthesiology, peripheral nerve blocks are performed using ultrasound control and electrical stimulation of peripheral nerves (PEN), or only ultrasound control or only EPN. The most effective methods are with the use of ultrasound control. Until now, the effectiveness of the sciatic nerve blockade by the subgluteal approach, performed only under ultrasound control without EPN, in comparison with the blockade of the sciatic nerve performed under ultrasound control with EPN, has not been established. There is no data on how the effectiveness of the blockade of the sciatic nerve with small doses of lidocaine is influenced by the method of performing the blockade: under ultrasound control versus ultrasound control with electrostimulation of the nerve. Research hypothesis: the blockade of the sciatic nerve by the subgluteal approach (12.5 ml 1%lidocaine -Minimum Effective Dose - previously established ) performed only under ultrasound control has the same effectiveness as the blockade performed under the ultrasound control with EPN.
In thoracic surgery, one-lung ventilation using a double-lumen tube (DLT) is often performed to protect dependent lung and provide comfortable surgical conditions. However, serious complications and adverse events can be encountered during DLT placement. One of the most important steps to avoid these drawbacks is to choose the appropriate size of DLT. The width of the trachea can be measured by using different imaging methods such as computed tomography (CT) and ultrasonography (US) to predict the appropriate DLT size. CT can also contribute to the proper placement of DLT by giving us the length of the trachea and main bronchi. In this study, we hypothesized that the size of the DLT can be determined more accurately by measuring the trachea diameter by using US and CT before DLT intubation. At the same time, we aimed to determine whether the evaluation of tracheobronchial anatomy with CT would contribute to the placement of DLT at a more appropriate level.
Observational study in two medical-surgical intensive care units of the Clermont-Ferrand University Hospital to develop a composite score for prediction of 72h-extubation failure in patients at risk of extubation failure.

Early detection of esophageal intubation, one of the most common complications while performing endotracheal intubation (ETI), is crucial to adequate airway management, especially among patients suspected of difficult intubation (DI). Detective approaches with ventilation require time, increase the risk of emesis and aspiration to patients, and increase the risk of particle aerosolization to health providers under the epidemic of aerosol-borne diseases. Our study will determine the effectiveness of real-time sonography assisted to direct visualization to detect esophageal intubation before ventilation among DI patients.
The study focuses on regional lung examination, in particular on the differentiation between collapsed and hyperinflated lung areas. The purpose of the study is to elaborate common and discriminative elements between different lung imaging modalities in infants and to generate hypotheses for the bedside use of EIT and LUS in infants.
This study aims to adopt a multi-center large sample size study to define (1) the normal range of Chinese ONSD; (2) ONSD diagnosis for patients with high intracranial pressure; (3) to analyze the correlation between ONSD and intracranial pressure.
The identification of optimal ultrasonografic tecniques for determining the location , size and the surgical methods of intestinal endometriotric nodules
Patients were randomly divided into two groups: ultrasound-guided (US-guided) in-plane distal radial access (IP-DRA) and in-plane proximal radial access (IP-PRA) catheterization. For IP-DRA , a linear transducer is placed in the radial fossa, which is known as the snuff-box. After obtaining a long-axis view of the radial artery ,the needle is inserted in the midpoint of the small footprint transducer. Then,the needle is advanced under real-time US guidance until visualizing the tip of the needle inside the artery . For IP-PRA , a linear transducer is placed in the standard conventional forearm radial. After obtaining a long-axis view of the radial artery ,the needle is inserted in the midpoint of the small footprint transducer. Then,the needle is advanced under real-time US guidance until visualizing the tip of the needle inside the artery .
Preoperative fasting was a common practice to decrease perioperative aspiration risk. Duration of fasting was proportional to gastric volume. Short fasting duration may increase aspiration risk. However, prolonged perioperative fasting duration may lead to dehydration and hypoglycemia. The objective of this study was to analyze gastric volume after 6-hour and 8-hour duration of fasting after consumption of solid meal on patients scheduled for elective surgery. This was a cohort study recruiting 37 subjects from January to February 2019. Subjects were patients scheduled for elective non-digestive surgery in Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Jakarta, Indonesia. Before fasting, all subjects consumed standard Cipto Mangunkusumo meal and was later assessed for gastric volume using ultrasound at 6 and 8 hour after meal was consumed.
