Sudden Increase in EtCO2 During Upper Endoscopy Under General Endotracheal Anesthesia Suggests the Presence of Tracheoesophageal Fistula: A Case Report.Acquired tracheoesophageal fistula is a rare and devastating complication of lung cancer. The diagnosis is typically confirmed on barium esophagram. We ...
Here, we present the case of a patient with a tracheal injury diagnosed by a sudden increase in end-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2) during mediastinoscopic subtotal esophagectomy. Case presentation: A 52-year-old man diagnosed with esophageal cancer was scheduled to undergo mediastinoscopic sub...
This in turn will modify the biogeochemical processes in both systems, the extent of which, however, is unknown (Janssen et al., 2019). The scale and frequencies of exchange processes along these marine-terrestrial gradients are also expected to increase, facilitated by a projected sea-level ...
Furthermore, interventions that increase ventilation in an infant's room show reductions in SIDS incidence; a study looking at fan use suggested a 72% reduction in SIDS incidence when a fan was used to ensure better air circulation in the room (49). Hypoxia is implicated in risks of an ...
In addition, a number of environmental factors have been demonstrated to increase the likelihood of SIDS, including a prone sleeping position, the sleeping environment, infection, and stress (2). However, the lack of consistent diagnosis, dif- ficulty in distinguishing SIDS from asphyxia, ...
The results of many physiological studies have suggested that the prone position is associated with peripheral cutaneous vasodilation, which could increase body heat losses to the environment. Thus, Yiallourou et al. (45) have suggested that the elevated skin temperature found in ...
On the other end of the spectrum, any significant decrease in inward currents or significant increase in outward currents may lead to lethal arrhythmias associated with shorter than normal QT repolarization intervals (3). The L-type CaV1.2 channel belongs to the molecular family of high voltage ...
(including social workers) should sensitively assess the likelihood of infant suffocation or nonaccidental trauma (see Overview of Child Maltreatment); concern for this etiology should increase when the affected infant was outside the highest-risk age group (1 to 5 months...
However, during recovery from hypoxia respiratory activity elicited a significant increase in the frequency of Figure 1. Central cardiorespiratory responses to hypoxia. Respiratory- related bursting activity was recorded from the hypoglossal rootlet (XII; ͐XII—the integrated activity of the nerve ...
