An alternative technique for bronchial aspiration through a tracheostomy

A Conservative Method for Treating Severely Displaced Pediatric Mandibular Fractures: An Effective Alternative Technique

Pediatric mandibular fractures have been successfully managed in various ways. The use of a lingual splint is an option. This article presents a 4-year old boy who was treated by an alternative conservative method with a combination of an arch bar plus a lingual splint, circum-mandibular wiring and IMF for the reduction, stabilization and fixation of a severely displaced bilateral man‌dibular b...

Percutaneous tracheostomy: a cost-effective alternative to standard open tracheostomy.

Percutaneous tracheostomy was initiated as an alternative to open tracheostomy at our institution in December 1993. To assess safety, operative time, and cost, a comparative analysis of percutaneous and open tracheostomies was performed. A retrospective evaluation of all patients who underwent percutaneous tracheostomy (P) from December 1993 to March 1996 was completed. Patients were evaluated ...

The Primed In Situ (PRINS) Technique: An Alternative Approach for Preimplantation Chromosomal Diagnosis

Barium aspiration through a tracheo-oesophageal fistula caused by percutaneous tracheostomy.

Alqurashi MM, et al. BMJ Case Rep 2017. doi:10.1136/bcr-2017-220486 Description A healthy 43-year-old gravida 14, para 12+1 woman, developed Sheehan syndrome followed by disseminated intravascular coagulopathy and sepsis post-Caesarean section. Her postoperative course was further complicated by a hospital-acquired pneumonia for which she required endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilat...

Microsurgical technique for tracheostomy in the rat

Tracheostomy is used to obtain airway access to allow for mechanical ventilation in experimental animal models. We present a microsurgical atlas of our technique for tracheostomy in the adult rat.
