Airway Assessment : Predictors of Difficult Airway
Respiratory events are the most common anaesthetic related injuries, following dental damage. The three main causes of respiratory related injuries are inadequate ventilation, oesophageal intubation and difficult tracheal intubation. Difficult tracheal intubation accounts for 17% of the respiratory related injuries and results in significant morbidity and mortality. In fact up to 28% of all ana...
متن کاملAirway Assessment: A Critical Appraisal
The ability to predict the difficult airway to preempt difficult intubation would decrease the most common damages seen in the administration of anaesthesia. Many tests have been put forth over the years, some necessitating detailed quantitative measurements like the sternomental distance, thyromental distance and inter-incisor gap but others like the upper lip bite test is of a qualitative nat...
متن کاملVestibular assessment: a practical approach.
This paper presents an evidence-based introduction to assessing and managing the dizzy patient. It is based upon a literature review highlighting current best practice and the clinical experience of the author. Dizziness is common, often chronic and largely untreated, resulting in great personal and economic loss. Serious pathological causes of dizziness may be quickly and effectively screened ...
متن کاملAOSD & Security: a practical assessment
This paper reports on our practical experience in using AOSD for security. In particular we describe one of our past case studies, which focused on the security measures of an existing FTP server implementation. Based on our experience within this scope, we elaborate on several software engineering properties of AOSD.
متن کاملPractical assessment of respiratory mechanics.
More than 30 years after its ®rst description, mortality associated with the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is still great, with reported rates between 30 and 60%. The range in mortality is partly because of the loose de®nition of both ARDS and acute lung injury (ALI), based on bilateral lung in®ltrates on X-ray, a left ventricular ®lling pressure <18 mm Hg and a PaO2/FIO2 of <300 m...
