Optimising the unprotected airway with a prototype Jaw-Thrust-Device--a prospective randomised cross-over study.

30 Oct 2009 Despite being a standard procedure during induction of anaesthesia, facemask ventilation can be a major challenge especially for inexperienced anaesthetists. We manufactured a Jaw-Thrust-Device designed to keep the patient's jaws in an optimised ... Read more...

Regulation of trigeminal respiratory motor activity in the brainstem.

30 Oct 2009 The trigeminal motor system participates in the control of respiration as well as suckling and mastication. However, the central mechanism underlying respiratory activity in trigeminal motoneurons is not well-understood. In this study, we aimed to ... Read more...

The effect of maxillary multidirectional movement on nasal respiration.

29 Sep 2009 PURPOSE: Deformities of the maxilla may exist on all planes, and we treat these problems by mobilizing and repositioning the maxilla on all planes. Some authors have examined the effects of maxillary movement on the nasal airway. In clinical, ... Read more...
