OBJECTIVES: Emergency intubation in children is an infrequent procedure both in the pre-hospital and hospital setting. The anatomical, physiological and situational challenges together with limited clinician exposure can make this a difficult procedure with high risk of adverse events. The aim of this collaborative study between a state-wide ambulance service and a tertiary children's hospital was to describe the characteristics of pre-hospital paediatric intubations by Intensive Care Paramedics...

This recommendation summarizes the recent neonatal resuscitation guidelines of the European Resuscitation Council (ERC), but it takes into account the guidelines of the American Heart Association (AHA) and the statements of the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) Consensus on Science with Treatment Recommendations (CoSTR) for neonatal life support. The goal of the management of the newly born infants is to support the cardiorespiratory transition. Personnel and equipment should be prepared for neonatal life support before every delivery...

BACKGROUND: Tracheal intubation is used for advanced airway management during cardiac arrest, particularly when basic airway techniques cannot ensure adequate ventilation. However, minimizing interruptions of chest compressions is of high priority. Video laryngoscopy has been shown to improve the first-pass success rate for tracheal intubation in emergency airway management. We aimed to compare first-pass success rate and time to successful intubation during uninterrupted chest compression using video laryngoscopy and direct laryngoscopy...

Rigid bronchoscopy is the gold standard treatment for pediatric tracheobronchial foreign bodies. This procedure gives jitters to young ENT surgeons. The only aim of this study is to aware young ENT surgeons of different challenges they may face during bronchoscopy and their subsequent management. Clinical and demographic presentations of airway foreign bodies are also presented. This prospective observational study was conducted from Jan 2013 to Jan 2020 on patients with tracheobronchial foreign bodies. Patients were divided in four Groups (A, B, C and D) on the basis of mode of presentation...

BACKGROUND: Pulmonary physiotherapy (PPT) is an important treatment in the management of patients with different types of pulmonary disorders. We aimed to evaluate safety and efficacy of PPT in hospitalized patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia. METHODS: In this randomised, single-blind, controlled trial, we enrolled hospitalized, non-intubated patients (18 to 75 years with oxygen saturation (Spo2) in free-air breathing ≤90%) with COVID-19 pneumonia at a referral hospital...

The original guidelines of cardiopulmonary resuscitation focused on the establishment of an airway and rescue breathing before restoration of circulation through cardiopulmonary resuscitation. As a result, the airway-breathing-circulation approach became the central guiding principle of resuscitation. Despite new guidelines by the American Heart Association for a circulation-first approach, Advanced Trauma Life Support guidelines continue to advocate for the airway-breathing-circulation sequence. Although definitive airway management is often necessary for severely injured patients, endotracheal intubation (ETI) before resuscitation in patients with hemorrhagic shock may worsen hypotension and precipitate cardiac arrest...

Most pediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCAs) are caused by hypoxia, which is generally consecutive to respiratory failure. To restore oxygenation, prehospital providers usually first use basic airway management techniques, i.e., bag-valve-mask (BVM) devices. These devices present several drawbacks, most of which could be avoided using supraglottic airway devices. These intermediate airway management (IAM) devices also present significant advantages over tracheal intubation: they are associated with higher success and lower complication rates in the prehospital setting...

BACKGROUND: Face-to-face medical education was restricted during the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to alternative teaching methods. Moodle® (Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment) - an online course format - has not yet been sufficiently evaluated for its feasibility and effectiveness in teaching cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Contamination of the environment with nano-and microplastic particles (NMPs) and its putative adverse effects on organisms, ecosystems, and human health is gaining increasing scientific and public attention. Various studies show that NMPs occur abundantly within the environment, leading to a high likelihood of human exposure to NMPs. Here, different exposure scenarios can occur. The most notable exposure routes of NMPs into the human body are via the airways and gastrointestinal tract (GIT) through inhalation or ingestion, but also via the skin due to the use of personal care products (PCPs) containing NMPs...

INTRODUCTION: In coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), there are no tools available for the difficult task of recognizing which patients do not benefit from maintaining respiratory support, such as noninvasive ventilation (NIV). Identifying treatment failure is crucial to provide the best possible care and optimizing resources. Therefore, this study aimed to build a model that predicts NIV failure in patients who did not progress to invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV). METHODS: This retrospective observational study included critical COVID-19 patients treated with NIV who did not progress to IMV...

Poisoning, drug overdose, and adverse drug effects continue to be a common encounter, especially in the intensive care unit (ICU). Patients are often critically ill or have a potential to rapidly deteriorate and warrant ICU admission. Adults suffering from overdoses rarely give a complete and accurate description of the quantity or type of medications ingested. In most adult cases, multiple substances are involved. A tentative diagnosis in most overdose and poisoning cases can be made by physical examination and simple laboratory tests (electrolyte panel, creatinine, serum osmolarity, urinalysis, etc)...

Specific therapies for the treatment of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have limited efficacy in the event a patient worsens clinically and requires admission to the intensive care unit (ICU). Thus, providing quality supportive care is essential to the overall management of patients with critical COVID-19. Patients with respiratory failure not requiring intubation should be supported with noninvasive positive pressure ventilation, continuous positive airway pressure, or high flow oxygenation. Use of these respiratory modalities may prevent patients from subsequently requiring intubation...

Asthma is a heterogenous respiratory disease, usually associated with chronic airway inflammation and hyper-responsiveness, which affects an estimated 339 million people worldwide. Severe asthma affects approximately 5-10% of patients with asthma, approximately 17-34 million people globally, more than half of whom have uncontrolled disease. Severe asthma carries a substantial burden of disease, including unpredictable symptoms and potentially life-threatening flare-ups. Furthermore, severe asthma has a substantial burden on health care systems and economies worldwide...

If we define the human body by the mass of the elements that compose it, we could say that we are oxygen and other elements. Oxygen, in addition to being fundamental in our composition, is an element that we constantly need to support cellular respiration and, therefore, life. Interestingly, despite its importance, humans have not developed mechanisms that allow us to store it and, therefore, we are unable to sustain life if we are deprived of ventilation, even for brief periods. Accordingly, the ability to induce the cessation of ventilation in a patient must be accompanied by different technical and non-technical skills that allow the patient's safety to be maintained in this highly vulnerable state...
