Suction caisson is a type of floor foundation for the offshore structures that is also called suction pile, bucket foundation, suction anchor, or sometimes ridge foundation depending on its application. In two past decades, this type of foundation has been widely used around the world as the fixed offshore foundation, anchor of the floating platforms, as well as the foundation of other marine s...

SETTING Neonatal Unit of Hospital. SUBJECTS 1426 live births occurring in 1500 consecutive deliveries, over one year period. INTERVENTIONS In all babies born through MSAF, thorough oropharyngeal suction as soon as th...

‎in this paper, a new class of fuzzy sets called fuzzy strongly ${{g}^{*}}$-closed sets is introduced and its properties are investigated. moreover, we study some more properties of this type of closed spaces.

INTRODUCTION Sedative and analgesic drugs are frequently used in critically ill patients. Their overuse may prolong mechanical ventilation and length of stay in the intensive care unit. Guidelines recommend use of sedation protocols that include sedation scores and trials of sedation cessation to minimize drug use. We evaluated processed electroencephalography (response and state entropy and bi...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of tracheal suctioning (TS) on respiratory resistances in sedated critical care patients receiving mechanical ventilation (MV). SETTING Surgical ICU of Bichat Hospital, Paris. PATIENTS AND PARTICIPANTS Thirteen sedated critical care patients receiving MV for various conditions. MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS Airway resistances (R1), airway and pulmonary resista...

OBJECTIVE To assess whether endotracheal suctioning of nonvigorous infants born through meconium stained amniotic fluid (MSAF) reduces the risk and complications of meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS). STUDY DESIGN Term, nonvigorous babies born through MSAF were randomized to endotracheal suction and no-suction groups (n=61 in each). Risk of MAS, complications of MAS and endotracheal suction, ...

Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) has been extensively utilized in the treatment of severe hypoxemia from noncardiogenic pulmonary edema. The usefulness of therapy with PEEP in the management of lobar atelectasis has not been previously stressed. Recently, we observed four patients with lobar atelectasis who failed to respond to the usual conservative measures of endotracheal suctioning a...
