Ineffective triggering predicts increased duration of mechanical ventilation.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVES: To determine whether high rates of ineffective triggering within the first 24 hrs of mechanical ventilation (MV) are associated with longer MV duration and shorter ventilator-free survival (VFS). DESIGN: Prospective cohort study. ... Read more...

Passive range of motion functional magnetic resonance imaging localizing sensorimotor cortex in sedated children.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECT: In this study, the authors examined whether passive range of motion (ROM) under conscious sedation could be used to localize sensorimotor cortex using functional MR (fMR) imaging in children as part of their presurgical evaluation. METHODS: ... Read more...

Monitored anesthesia care with target-controlled infusion in vibroplasty.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVES: Correct positioning of a floating mass transducer during middle ear implant surgery is often problematic. With the use of monitored anesthesia care (MAC), however, deep sedation is maintained during surgery, followed by conscious ... Read more...
