Filter by:The purpose of the study is to prospectively assess the use of a modified tracheal balloon dilator in children (<13 years old) with subglottic or tracheal stenosis. The hypothesis is that the device will effectively dilate the stenotic segment, whilst maintaining oxygenation (if applicable). The primary aim is to measure the stenosis prior to, and after dilatation; using diameter and the modified Myer-Cotton grading system. Secondary aims include assessment of stenosis at six-week follow-up and monitoring arterial oxygenation nadir (using peripheral plethysmography) during the procedure.
The investigators assess the prevalence of airway disease associated with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis in Korea, and evaluate the effect of these airway diseases on the symptoms and quality of life of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
The purpose of the present study is to explore the effects of a dietary nitrate supplement on immunity, mood, cardiovascular activity, and lung function during and following final exam stress in both healthy and asthmatic individuals.
Difficult conditions and critically ill and injured patients may complicate endotracheal intubation in the pre-hospital setting. The incidence of complications increase when two or more endotracheal intubation attempts are needed. The aim of this study is to estimate the incidence of difficult pre-hospital endotracheal intubation after the introduction of the McGrath MAC Video laryngoscope as the primary airway device for pre-hospital endotracheal intubation. Hypothesis: • In our pre-hospital critical care teams, staffed with experienced anaesthesiologists, the rate of difficult PHETI (defined as more than one intubation attempt needed to secure a patent airway) is lower than 10 %, when using the McGrath MAC VL as primary choice in pre-hospital intubations.
