In this research study, the investigators want to learn more about whether the Respiratory Volume Monitor (ExSpiron) can accurately measure breathing in infants less than 12 months of age. The Respiratory Volume Monitor uses up to 5 stickers that are placed on the chest to measure the amount of air going in and out of the lungs with each breath (Tidal Volume), the number of times per minute a breath is taken (Respiratory Rate), and the amount of air going in and out of the lungs per minute (Minute Ventilation). It is important for medical staff to be able to collect information about breathing non-invasively because it may help determine if certain children are experiencing breathing problems sooner than the way it is currently detected. The goal of this study is to determine if the Respiratory Volume Monitor works accurately in infants less than 12 months of age.
This study investigates the incidence of postoperative respiratory complications (PRCs) including: oxygen desaturation events, tracheal re-intubations within 48 hours of surgery, and failure to wean from ventilator within 48 hours of surgery - in patients with and without risk factors for OSA undergoing elective, non-cardiac surgery (NCS).
The purpose of this study is to conduct a randomized clinical trial to compare the incidence of dysphagia in patients receiving general anesthesia with and without an endotracheal tube for Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. If the incidence of dysphagia is found to be increased following endotracheal intubation for this procedure it could influence the investigators practice as anesthesiologists and may mandate the future routine use of laryngeal tracheal application of lidocaine at the time of intubation for example.
Pediatric postoperative patients are at increased risk for post-operative respiratory complications such as hypoventilation. There is no objective measure of early respiratory parameters that would predict respiratory compromise after surgery efficiently in pediatric patients. Current respiratory assessment in non-intubated patients relies on oximetry data, impendence respiratory rate monitor and subjective clinical assessment. Pulse oximetry has been extremely helpful in recognizing oxygen desaturations but it is a late indicator of respiratory decline. New advances in technology and digital signal processing have led to the development of an improved impedance based Respiratory Volume Monitor (RVM). The RVM (ExSpiron™, Respiratory Motion, Inc.; Waltham, MA) has been shown to provide accurate real-time, continuous, non-invasive measurements of tidal volume (TV), minute ventilation (MV) and respiratory rate (RR) mostly in adult patients. The investigators' primary hypothesis is that the non-invasive, impedance-based RVM monitor will accurately reflect TV, RR and MV in pediatric patients.
The study will evaluate the performance of measuring respiration rate with the Respiratory Acoustic Monitoring (RAM).
Background: It is known that after Cesarean section is correlated with respiratory complication more, if done after 37-38 week of gestation than if done after 39 weeks or more. Goal: The aim of the current study is to find out if these respiratory complications extend to later life. Methode: Reviewing the patients' medical file, and collecting data about respiratory complication.
