The relatively short, safe apneic period can be extended by using evidence-based pre-oxygenation strategies. A basic understanding of pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics in the obese patient facilitates tracheal intubation and prevents hemodynamic instability secondary to drug overdose. In short, induction...
Indeed, many ventilator brands available today have no true CMV mode; the assist-control mode is provided instead. In the paralysed or apneic patient, assist-control would function as if it were Complications of mechanical ventilation Over the past two decades, critical care physicians have become...
As part of this study, the authors conducted a retrospective observational cohort study that included all children younger than 18 years of age with out‐of‐hospital CPA, during an 11‐year period from 1991–2002. CPA was defined as patient being pulseless, apneic, and requiring chest ...
Impaired longitudinal strain is an early finding in dilated hearts [75] and develops when the ventricular shape becomes spherical. This geometric change makes the natural oblique fibers develop a more transverse configuration [75,76] that disrupts their twisting capacity (Figure 12). This concept's...
As far as we know, there is no recent similar review devoted to gathering biochemical and pathophysiological information on B/A-BAs in the GIT. Thus, the major aim of this work is to present an overview of the known facts of biochemical and pathophysiological information on B/A-BAs in the...
On comparing this variant to other known VOCs, it was found that an unusually high number of mutations (50) have been found on the spike (S) protein, the primary antigen that is targeted by antibodies produced during infection or vaccination, some of which are concerning, and preliminary ...
This is evident in the main themes revealed during the Meccan period: apart from theological concepts, such as the essentials of faith and matters pertain- ing to ethics, Qur'anic verses from this period commanded and directed all believers to be patient and persevere.2 The fact that accounts...
4. Gestational Diabetes Mellitus and Chaperones It is well documented that both obesity-associated chronic excess of nutrients and hyperglycemia, which naturally escalates with the progression of GDM, disturb the function of the endoplasmic reticulum in protein folding and transport, resulting in an ...
Performing preoperative lymphoscintigraphy may be helpful for surgical planning in cases in which a SLN is not visualized. If a SLN is not seen on preoperative lymphoscintigraphy, the patient will usually be consented for axillary lymph node dissection. Technical failures with radioisotope use have ...
