Meta-analysis: ventilation strategies and outcomes of the acute respiratory distress syndrome and acute lung injury.

18 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Trials have provided conflicting results regarding the effect of different ventilatory strategies on the outcomes of patients with the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and acute lung injury. PURPOSE: To determine whether ... Read more...

A closed-circuit neonatal xenon delivery system: a technical and practical neuroprotection feasibility study in newborn pigs.

30 Jul 2009 BACKGROUND: Asphyxia accounts for 23% of the 4 million annual global neonatal deaths. In developed countries, the incidence of death or severe disability after hypoxic-ischemic (HI) encephalopathy is 1-2/1000 infants born at term. Hypothermia (HT) ... Read more...

A controlled rapid-sequence induction technique for infants may reduce unsafe actions and stress.

20 Jul 2009 BACKGROUND: Classic rapid-sequence induction of anaesthesia (RSI-classic) in infants and small children presents a time-critical procedure, regularly associated with hypoxia. This results in high stress levels for the provider and may trigger unsafe ... Read more...
