Because the determinants of OIVI are not limited to factors pertaining to the physiology of sleep-disordered breathing but also include age, comor- bidity burden, as well as other, so far unknown, parameters, accurate prediction of potentially severe OIVI in the post- operative patient, ...

65 They reproduce several vital functions and allow for nasal and oral intubation in addition to active control of breathing, but they are not suitable for simulating complex breathing patterns. Multiple other devices have been developed but are not commercially available and are probably too complex...

Oxycodone is a morphine-like, strong pain-relief medicine used for the relief of severe pain that is unresponsive to less potent pain-relief medicines (analgesics). Oxycodone is relatively selective for the mu opioid receptor, although it may bind to other opioid receptors at higher dosages. Oxy...
