Investigating the Effect of Expiratory Time Constant on Outcome in Intubated Patients with Acute Respiratory Failure Caused by COVID-19 in Critical Care Unit: A Research Study.

BACKGROUND: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has a high prevalence and mortality worldwide. Thousands of patients with acute respiratory failure caused by COVID-19 are daily hospitalized in intensive care units (ICUs) around the world. Many of these patients require full mechanical respiratory support and long-term ventilator use. Using different ventilators and calculating important variab...

Deep learning for anatomical interpretation of video bronchoscopy images.

Anesthesiologists commonly use video bronchoscopy to facilitate intubation or confirm the location of the endotracheal tube; however, depth and orientation in the bronchial tree can often be confused because anesthesiologists cannot trace the airway from the oropharynx when it is performed using an endotracheal tube. Moreover, the decubitus position is often used in certain surgeries. Although it ...

Predicting anesthetic infusion events using machine learning.

Recently, research has been conducted to automatically control anesthesia using machine learning, with the aim of alleviating the shortage of anesthes...

Adding Dexmedetomidine to Bupivacaine in Ultrasound-guided Thoracic Paravertebral Block for Pain Management after Upper Abdominal Surgery: A Double-blind Randomized Controlled Trial.

BACKGROUND: Paravertebral blocks are one of the possible postoperative pain management modalities after laparotomy. Adjuvants to local anesthetics, in...

Development of a Novel Anesthesia Airway Management Robot.

Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation has attracted increasing attention for air management in general anesthesia. This work proposes a novel rob...

ROBOT-assisted pancreatoduodenectomy in 300 consecutive cases: Annual trend analysis and propensity score-matched comparison of perioperative and long-term oncologic outcomes with the open method.
