Objective: To determine description of changes clients with injuries. Methods: descriptive case study subjects used were 2 through inclusion exclusion criteria. Results: Changes Head injuri...

The cannula is adapted for use in the bronchial tree of the anesthetized dog. Introduced through the mouth or a trach-eotomy opening, the distal end is made to dilate and secure airtight fixation in the bronchus. Positive security and selectivity of the attachment, as well as simplicity of management, recommend the instrument.

1128 November 2012 W HEN difficulty with airway management is anticipated, standard guidelines recommend that the airway is secured in the awake patient.1 In the “cannot intubate, cannot ventilate” situation, surgical or cannula cricothyroidotomy is required.1 However, identification of the cricothyroid membrane by palpation is frequently inaccurate, even under elective conditions.2 Preoperativ...

A standard 23-gauge or 25-gauge valved trocar is positioned externally next to the sclera at an area corresponding to the most elevated retina. During internal visualization, the trocar is advanced at an angle of 15°, penetrating the sclera and the choroid, and entering the subretinal space (Figure 2). Once it has been visually confirmed that the cannula entered the subretinal space, the trocar...

Blood samples were obtained from a radial artery cannula in a 60-yr-old man during coronary artery surgery. Serum potassium concentrations of 9.3, 8.4, and 7.4 mmol litre(-1) were obtained. A simultaneous venous blood sample gave a serum potassium concentration of 4.4 mmol litre(-1). The ECG was unchanged. After the arterial cannula was repositioned, subsequent blood samples gave expected range...

BACKGROUND/AIMS A skull-mounted aiming device and integrated software platform has been developed for MRI-guided neurological interventions. In anticipation of upcoming gene therapy clinical trials, we adapted this device for real-time convection-enhanced delivery of therapeutics via a custom-designed infusion cannula. The targeting accuracy of this delivery system and the performance of the in...

A prospective, randomized, blinded study was conducted to compare the use of a balloon catheter for performing hysterosalpingography (HSG) with the use of a traditional metal cannula. Sixty-one consecutive women who underwent HSG for evaluation of infertility were prospectively randomized to undergo the procedure with either a metal cannula (n = 31) or the balloon catheter (n = 30). The HSG pro...
