Neonatal endotracheal intubation often involves more than one attempt, and oxygen desaturation is common. It is unclear whether nasal high-flow therapy, which extends the time to desaturation during ...

A new review in Intensive Care Medicine maps how high-flow nasal cannula, CPAP, and helmet ventilation can safely keep ARDS patients off breathing tubes—provided clinicians monitor the hidden danger o ...

• Positioning patients in a semi-Fowler position with the head and trunk raised may increase intubation success and decrease aspiration risk. • Preoxygenation with high-flow nasal oxygen is effective ...

A nasal cannula is a medical device that provides supplemental oxygen therapy to people who have lower oxygen levels. There are two types of nasal cannulas: low flow and high flow. The device has two ...

An alternative anesthetic technique can be employed when conventional nasal intubation methods do not work in patients undergoing dental procedures or oral surgery. The method involves a gum elastic ...
