Background/Introduction Partial circulatory support is a new option of treatment for heart-failure patients. The Circulite Synergy Micro-Pump is a partial support device where the inflow cannula is connected to the left atrium and the outflow cannula to the right subclavian artery (RSA). Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations can be used to demonstrate changes in hemodynamics post treat...

Value of automated detection and assessment swallows during long-term measurement in tracheal cannula management

Within a period of only seven months three patients in one hospital under treatment with antibiotics by intravenous infusion developed secondary bloodstream infection originating from the site of insertion of the cannula. Two of these infections were fatal. Precautions suggested include strict asepsis, the skin being sterilized with iodine in spirit solution; antibiotic spray; and changing the ...

INTRODUCTION Prone positioning in respiratory failure has been shown to be a useful adjunct in the treatment of severe hypoxia. However, the prone position can result in dislodgment or malfunction of tubes and cannulae. Certain patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) or continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) may also benefit from positional therapy. The impact of cann...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the feasibility of a non-stimulation needle with an external indwelling cannula for upper-limb surgery and acute postoperative pain management. METHODS 62 patients undergoing either scheduled or emergency upper-limb surgery received brachial plexus block of modified interscalene or axillary brachial and then postoperative patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) with local ...

Description of the Clinical Course and Severity Score Progression in Critically Ill Children with Acute Bronchiolitis on High-Flow Nasal Cannula Support

Background: Postpartum hemorrhage is a major obstetrical emergency and one of the important but preventable causes maternal morbidity mortality. It often sudden, frequently unpredictable catastrophic. In this study SR vacuum cannula will be applied to create negative pressure inside uterine cavity with specially designed cannula, which simple, safe cost-effective technique. The aim objective wa...
