COVID-19 poses an infectious risk to healthcare workers especially during airway management. We compared the impact of early versus late intubation on infection control and performance in a randomised situ simulation, using fluorescent powder as surrogate for contamination. Twenty anaesthetists intensivists intubated simulated patient with COVID-19. The primary outcome was degree secondary outcomes included use bag-valve-mask ventilation, incidence manikin cough, time, first attempt success...
We recently read an interesting study which demonstrated that self-inflating resuscitation bag (SIRB) lacking expiratory valve has unreliable performance in oxygen delivery during spontaneous breathing mimicked by mechanical lung simulator. It was postulated the absence of and resulting air entrainment via exhaust port accounts for poor performance. The current disposable SIRB in-use our institutions (Med-Rescuer Disposable BVM Resuscitator 4000, BLS Systems Limited, ON, Canada) a duckbill...
In patients with highly contagious diseases that are spread by respiratory droplets or air-borne particles, the use of high-flow oxygen may carry a significant risk nosocomial transmission. We tested new delivery device designed to address these problems simulating 108 sepsis and failure. The being consisted an airtight mask, bacterial viral filter, T-shaped reservoir (50 100 ml) tubing connected directly mask. When 50-ml reservoir, high fractional concentration was achieved: mean (SD) 0.83...
Background: Patients with severe euvolemic hyponatremia can be challenging to treat, and the COVID-19 pandemic has added complexity of situation. Methods: Data were collected from all patients treated in a local intensive care unit (ICU) protocolized proactive desmopressin plus 3% saline (PD-3 S) approach March 2022. Results: Six protocol, whose initial serum sodium level (SNa) ranged 98 108 mmol/L. SNa one patient dropped further due delayed initiation PD-3 S because access block. But...
