Purpose: The purpose of this study was to measure the intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation during laser assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) flap creation using WaveLight FS200 femtosecond (FS) platform. Methods: We conducted an ex vivo experimental animal model. FS platform used perform corneal LASIK freshly enucleated porcine eyes. measured changes IOP from application suction ring (suctio...

BACKGROUND Relationships between plasma morphine concentrations and neonatal responses to endotracheal tube (ETT) suctioning are unknown in preterm neonates. METHODS Ventilated preterm neonates (n=898) from 16 centres were randomly assigned to placebo (n=449) or morphine (n=449). After an i.v. loading dose (100 microg kg(-1)), morphine infusions [23-26 weeks postmenstrual age (PMA) 10 microg ...

The vessels of the brain can be divided into 5 divisions according to their role in nourishing latter: 1) driving arteries, 2) feeding arterioles, 3) oxygen-supplying capillaries, 4) suctioning venules, and 5) diverting veins.

In the era of COVID-19 pandemic, avoidance aerosol generating procedures (AGPs) is paramount to reduce risk viral transmission staff and other patients. Perioperative management a new tracheostomy challenging as routine care, such suctioning, frequently involves AGPs.
