Although they are extremely effective in maintaining tracheal and subglottic patency, T-tubes themselves can result in airway obstruction from plugging. Many practitioners educate patients on placing a small (5.0) endotracheal tube (ETT) through the tracheal limb of the T-tube if they develop airway obstruction. Unfortunately, this can be a difficult task to complete during acute airway obstruc...

Carum copticum is a grassy and annual plant which is believed to have several therapeutic effects, including anti-asthmatic properties. We have therefore studied the bronchodilatory and anticholinergic effects of 4 rnL aqueous extract (AE), 0.0 5 mL ethanol extract (EE), and 0.0 0 5 mL essential oil (EO) of Carum copticum and 1 rnL of a 5 mM solution of its main ingredient, thymol (T), in ...

We experienced difficulty in ventilating the lungs of a patient after tracheal intubation. After intubation, an insufficient amount of tidal volume (V(T)) was delivered to the patient and the fiberoptic bronchoscopic examination identified partial abutment of the endotracheal tube (ETT) orifice against the tracheal wall. After various attempts to correctly place the ETT, a double-lumen endotrac...

Background: Tracheal extubation, the purposeful removal of endotracheal tube from trachea, can be associated with detrimental hemodynamic and airway responses. Lidocaine fentanyl are known to suppress response extubation during Ear, nose, throat surgeries. Smooth tracheal is important after surgeries.Objective: To compare effect intravenous lidocaine on attenuation for (ENT) surgeries at JLNMCH...

Background: Tracheal stenosis is the obstruction of airway and need a proper diagnosis, management treatment approach. Objective: To diagnose manage repair tracheal stenosis. Study Design: Comparative analytical study Place Duration Study: Department Thoracic Surgery, Sandeman Provincial Hospital Quetta from 1st July 2020 to 30th June 2021. Methodology: Forty seven patients were divided into tw...

Transgenic animals, mice and rats, harboring temperature-sensitive simian virus 40 large T-antigen have been found to be very useful for establishing immortalized cell lines from tissues that have been proved difficult to culture in vitro. Here, we succeeded in establishing a conditionally immortalized tracheal epithelial cell line RTEC11 from adult transgenic rats harboring the oncogene. Morph...

BACKGROUND Postintubation tracheal stenosis remains the most common indication for tracheal surgery. In the event of a rapid and progressive course of the disease after extubation, surgical approaches such as primary resection and anastomosis or various methods of tracheoplasty should be selected. We report our experience with surgical management of moderate to severe postintubation tracheal st...
