Heated humified high flow nasal cannula, does it have a rule in NICU routine ...mohamed osama hussein
This document discusses the use of heated humidified high-flow nasal cannula (HHHFNC) for respiratory support in neonatal and pediatric patients. It provides a brief history of oxygen therapy and ventilation techniques. It then summarizes several studies that have found HHHFNC to be as effective as nasal continuous positive airway pressure for respiratory support, with fewer risks of nasal trauma. The document discusses indications for HHHFNC use, criteria for initiation, and examples of commercial HHHFNC systems. It notes that while increasingly used, HHHFNC systems cannot precisely measure or limit delivered pressures, risking over-distention in some patients.
This document discusses high flow nasal cannula (HFNC) and humidification. It provides an overview of HFNC, including how it works and key points. HFNC can deliver high levels of oxygen and is well tolerated by patients. It has several benefits over traditional oxygen masks, including better washout of dead space and more consistent oxygen delivery. The document reviews indications, contraindications and complications of HFNC. It also discusses evidence on using HFNC to prevent intubation in respiratory failure, as peri-intubation support, and for post-extubation therapy. Risks, cleaning and questions around HFNC are also addressed.
Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) refers to ventilatory support without an invasive artificial airway such as an endotracheal or tracheostomy tube. NIV can be delivered via nasal or oronasal masks connected to positive pressure ventilators. The document traces the history of ventilation from ancient times to modern NIV techniques. It describes various interfaces, modes of ventilation including CPAP, contraindications, and suitable clinical conditions for NIV support such as COPD exacerbations and cardiac pulmonary edema.
Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) delivers ventilatory support through a mask without using an invasive tracheal tube. The document discusses the history and development of NIV, benefits in pediatric patients, indications, contraindications, modes, and key points for successful use of NIV. It provides details on using NIV to treat acute hypoxemic and chronic hypercapnic respiratory failures in children. Close monitoring and criteria for escalating to invasive ventilation if NIV fails are also reviewed.
The document discusses several newer modes of mechanical ventilation including volume assured pressure support (VAPS), volume support (VS), pressure regulated volume control (PRVC), and adaptive support ventilation (ASV). VAPS switches between pressure control and volume control modes within a breath to ensure a minimum tidal volume. VS adjusts pressure support levels between breaths to maintain a target tidal volume. PRVC aims to deliver a set tidal volume with the lowest possible airway pressure by modifying flow and time. ASV automatically adapts support levels to provide a minimum minute ventilation with the least work of breathing.
This document discusses several advanced modes of mechanical ventilation. It begins by describing triggered modes like volume support (VS) and proportional assist ventilation (PAV) which provide pressure support that varies based on patient effort. It then covers hybrid modes like volume-assured pressure support and pressure regulated volume control (PRVC) which use dual controls. Newer dual-controlled modes are presented that regulate pressure and volume both within and between breaths. Modes like adaptive support ventilation (ASV) automatically adapt settings to patient changes. Pros, cons and indications are provided for some of the more complex modes.
High Flow Nasal Cannula - Grand Rounds 2018Jason Block
This document discusses the benefits and optimal use of high flow nasal cannula (HFNC) in the emergency department. It finds that HFNC is comfortable for patients, improves oxygenation, and decreases respiratory rate. It can be used effectively in both the ED and ICU to treat hypoxemic respiratory failure without hypercapnia. HFNC may reduce intubation and mortality compared to conventional oxygen therapy. It also maintains oxygenation during intubation and is preferable to other devices for preoxygenation. However, HFNC should be used cautiously for cardiogenic pulmonary edema and COPD given limited evidence.
This document provides an overview of non-invasive ventilation (NIV), including its definition, historical background, mechanisms of action, indications and contraindications, different modes (CPAP vs BiPAP), and evidence supporting its use. Key points include that NIV avoids intubation and its complications, evidence shows benefits for COPD exacerbations and cardiogenic pulmonary edema, and both CPAP and BiPAP can effectively treat acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema with no differences in patient outcomes.

New modes of mechanical ventilation TRCchandra talur
The document discusses newer modes of mechanical ventilation that were introduced to address clinical issues like poor patient-ventilator synchrony, prolonged weaning times, and ventilator-induced lung injury. It classifies the newer modes as dual modes that combine volume and pressure control, modes that adapt to lung characteristics, and knowledge-based weaning modes. It provides more details on proportional assist ventilation (PAV+), airway pressure release ventilation (APRV/BIPAP), and Smartcare—modes that aim to improve synchrony, maintain high functional residual capacity, and reduce workload for clinicians respectively.
Haemoglobinopathies thalassemia, prophyrias and sickle cell disease-Deepa Sinha
1. Sickle cell disease (SCD) is caused by a genetic mutation that causes red blood cells to take on a sickle shape, leading to anemia, pain crises, and other complications.
2. Patients with SCD face increased risks from surgery and anesthesia due to the underlying disease. Preventing hypoxia, hyperviscosity, and acidosis can help reduce complications.
3. Common postoperative complications in SCD patients include pain crises, acute chest syndrome, fever, and alloimmunization from transfusions which can lead to delayed transfusion reactions. Close monitoring and treatment are important.
The document discusses the importance of analyzing ventilator graphics to assess patient ventilation and detect problems. It describes common waveform types including scalars, loops, and graphs of pressure, flow, tidal volume. Normal and abnormal waveforms are shown, such as those indicating decreased compliance, increased resistance, leaks, or overdistension. Different breath types, including mandatory, assisted and spontaneous breathing are also outlined. Overall ventilator graphics provide a critical tool for managing mechanically ventilated patients.
The document provides answers and explanations for multiple choice questions regarding ventilation, asthma management, pneumothorax treatment, ARDS definition and diagnosis, ventilator-associated pneumonia diagnosis, and management of an obstructed tracheostomy. It addresses topics such as appropriate diagnostic criteria, evidence-based guidelines, and step-wise approaches to acute respiratory conditions.
This document discusses various ventilatory strategies for treating ALI/ARDS, including:
- Using low tidal volumes (6 ml/kg) instead of conventional volumes to decrease mortality.
- Using PEEP to recruit collapsed lung units and prevent atelectrauma.
- Pressure-controlled ventilation to limit peak pressures while maintaining oxygenation.
- Permissive hypercapnia to decrease lung injury even if it increases CO2 levels.
- Prone positioning and recruitment maneuvers to improve oxygenation by opening collapsed alveoli.
- High frequency ventilation and airway pressure release ventilation as rescue therapies.
This document discusses the pharmacokinetics of inhalational anesthetics. It covers topics like the history of the field, pioneers like Kety and Eger, basic concepts such as partial pressure and solubility, factors affecting uptake and elimination of anesthetics, and the implications of concepts like alveolar concentration and blood-gas partition coefficients. It provides an overview of the key principles and historical context behind understanding how inhaled anesthetics are absorbed and distributed in the body.
Respiratory changes during anesthesia and ippvImran Sheikh
Anesthesia causes impairment of respiratory function through several mechanisms. It decreases functional residual capacity and lung compliance while increasing respiratory resistance. This leads to atelectasis in 15-20% of the lung and ventilation/perfusion mismatching. Maintaining muscle tone, applying positive end-expiratory pressure, recruitment maneuvers using sustained high inspiratory pressures, and limiting oxygen concentrations can help prevent atelectasis formation. Anesthesia also redistributes ventilation away from dependent lung regions and inhibits hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction.

The document discusses the history and evolution of mechanical ventilation from the 1800s to the present day. It covers early negative pressure ventilation techniques, the development of positive pressure ventilation in the 1950s, and the rise of intensive care units in the 1960s. The rest of the document summarizes several modern ventilation modes like pressure support ventilation, bilevel positive airway pressure, airway pressure release ventilation, proportional assist ventilation, and their applications.
Advanced modes of Mechanical Ventilation-Do we need them?chandra talur
The document discusses advanced modes of mechanical ventilation. It begins by outlining newer modes such as VAPS, APRV/BIPAP, PAV+, Smartcare, and their benefits over basic modes. These advanced modes aim to improve synchrony between the patient and ventilator, reduce asynchrony issues, and make ventilation proportional to patient effort through feedback loops. The document argues that automated closed-loop ventilation is the future as it reduces workload and errors while allowing for quicker weaning and lower costs through greater ease of use and patient safety.
This document discusses rescue therapies for refractory hypoxemia in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It reviews evidence on inhaled nitric oxide (iNO), prone positioning, recruitment maneuvers and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) titration, high frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV), and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Prone positioning and iNO are first-line therapies that improve oxygenation but iNO does not reduce mortality. Recruitment maneuvers combined with PEEP titration may provide a survival benefit in severe ARDS. HFOV and ECMO are second-line therapies that can facilitate lung-protective ventilation but their effects on outcomes are unclear.
Mechanical ventilation can be used to support or replace spontaneous breathing in patients unable to maintain adequate ventilation on their own. It aims to facilitate carbon dioxide release and maximize oxygen delivery. Modes include controlled mandatory ventilation where the ventilator controls both tidal volume and rate, and assist-control where the ventilator provides a minimum rate with additional breaths triggered by the patient. Synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation delivers mandatory breaths at set intervals while allowing spontaneous breathing in between to reduce asynchrony.
HFNC therapy provides high flow oxygen through a nasal cannula. It has several benefits over traditional oxygen delivery methods, including more accurate oxygen delivery, washout of dead space, and generation of positive end-expiratory pressure. HFNC is a well-tolerated therapy that can be used for hypoxemic respiratory failure, pre-intubation, and post-extubation. While promising, further research is still needed to establish clear guidelines for its use.
1) Recruitment maneuvers (RMs) aim to reopen collapsed alveoli in ARDS patients through temporarily increasing transpulmonary pressure. Common types include sighs, sustained inflations, and stepwise increases in pressure.
2) While RMs often improve short-term oxygenation, clinical trials have found no evidence of reduced mortality or improved outcomes. One large trial found RMs may actually increase mortality.
3) Not all ARDS patients respond equally to RMs due to factors like etiology, severity, and lung recruitability. RMs should only be considered for hypoxemic individuals based on an individual risk-benefit assessment.
Respiratory Physiology & Respiratory Function During AnesthesiaDang Thanh Tuan
This document summarizes respiratory physiology and function during anesthesia. It discusses factors related to respiratory function including gravity-determined distribution of perfusion and ventilation. It also covers non-gravitational determinants of pulmonary vascular resistance and blood flow distribution. Finally, it examines oxygen and carbon dioxide transport through the lungs.
This document discusses fluid management in the ICU. It covers assessing volume status through history, exam, and tests. Common types of IV fluids are described including crystalloids like normal saline and lactated Ringer's, as well as colloids like albumin and HES. Normal saline can cause hyperchloremic acidosis while HES is no longer recommended due to safety concerns. Guidelines for fluid resuscitation in hypovolemia and septic shock are provided, emphasizing initial bolus volumes and ongoing reassessment. In general, balanced crystalloids are preferred to normal saline due to safety advantages.
Mechanical ventilation in COPD Asthma drtrcchandra talur
Conventional mechanical ventilation can help respiratory failure in COPD patients by supporting inspiration. Key challenges include dynamic hyperinflation due to expiratory flow limitation and air trapping. Settings should aim for low minute ventilation to prevent hyperinflation, including low tidal volumes, respiratory rates, I:E ratios favoring expiration and addition of PEEP if needed. Intubation criteria include accessory muscle use, worsening gas exchange and hemodynamics.

HOW CONTROLLED IS OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA WITH THE USE
OF NASAL / PILLOW MASK?
INVESTIGATION
When people sleep, the neck muscles relax to the extent that the upper airway closes partially and become narrow, this causes disruption to the air way passage (ResMed, 2019). This narrowing of the airway brings about vibration in the throat when breathing, which causes the sound of snoring. The relaxation of the neck muscles can occur due to many reasons. From swollen tonsils to too much of alcohol, being overweight and most especially the shape of the nose and the jaw- to mention few of the factors that could cause the neck muscles to relax and causes snoring (ResMed, 2019). This situation leads to a condition known as Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
According to British Lung Foundation (2014), Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) is a sleep-related respiratory condition that causes repeated temporary cessations of breathing occur during sleep, as a of a narrowing or closing of the pharyngeal airway in sleep. (NHS, 2016) describes Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) as a condition where the walls of the throat relax and narrow during sleep, interrupting normal breathing, while the Central Apnea occurs when the body fails to make attempt to breathe during pauses If OSA is not treated, it deprives people of a healthy sleep, which can cause severe daytime sleepiness (Carlos Rejón Parrilla, et al. 2014). British Snoring & Sleep Apnoea Association (2018) explain that, these periods of 'stopping breathing' only become clinically significant if the stopping lasts for more than 10 seconds each time and occur more than 5 times every hour. 1.5million adult is estimated to be experiencing Obstructive Sleep Apnea in UK, and only around 330,000 are currently diagnosed and treated. (BBC NEWS UK, 2017). It is linked to increased cardiovascular, motor vehicle, and other accident risk, lower workplace productivity, and increased health care expenditure in comparison with the normal population (Rowland, et al. 2018).
Investigation shows that Obstructive Sleep apnea (OSA) patients prefer the pillow/nasal mask. Even though, some of these patients still have complain about their sleep (Rowland, et al. 2018). It has been observed that in some patients the symptoms of tiredness and sleepiness come back after a while, hence investigation of why and how commenced. Research has proved the direct health benefits that effective treatment of OSA can generate. Guest et al. (2008), estimated that CPAP usage for a given time of 14 years could save the NHS close to £1,000 per patient.
What is CPAP?
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is a type of treatment that has shown effective for sleep apnea. Even though it is effective, compliance with this therapy continues to be problematic. In fact, up to 83% of patients don't comply with CPAP therapy (Brooks, 2017). Studies explained that for treatment to be effective the right respiration pressure .

Acoustic rhinometry uses sound waves to non-invasively measure the nasal cavity geometry. It can detect nasal obstruction, septal deviations, and changes in nasal patency from congestion. A study found greater nasal congestion in patients with mild sleep apnea compared to non-apnea patients with allergic rhinitis, as measured by acoustic rhinometry before and after decongestion. This suggests nasal obstruction from rhinitis may contribute to the development of sleep apnea. Acoustic rhinometry provides a reliable, non-invasive way to investigate the nasal cavity and its role in sleep apnea.
This document discusses medicolegal issues regarding the use of nitrous oxide sedation in pediatric dentistry. It provides background on nitrous oxide, including its history of use and mechanism of action. Key points include that nitrous oxide is the safest type of sedation used in dentistry but that there are still risks. The document outlines indications for nitrous oxide use, such as reducing anxiety in fearful pediatric patients. However, it also notes there are medicolegal issues regarding its use that dentists need to be aware of to avoid legal problems.
Nitrous oxide is commonly used in pediatric dentistry to reduce anxiety and increase pain tolerance. It works by inducing analgesia while keeping the patient conscious. When administered properly via scavenging equipment and oxygen flush, it can significantly decrease fear over multiple sessions. However, chronic exposure to nitrous oxide poses health risks, so scavenging and ventilation are important to maintain safe ambient levels below recommended limits. Complications are rare when administered carefully by trained professionals according to established guidelines.
The document discusses three basic essentials for life: oxygen, water, and food. It then focuses on oxygen, defining it as an element, gas, and drug. It describes oxygen therapy as administering oxygen at concentrations greater than room air to treat hypoxemia. Hypoxemia and different types of hypoxia are defined. Common signs and symptoms as well as indications for oxygen therapy are listed. Various oxygen delivery devices, their uses, advantages, and disadvantages are outlined.
2015 An overview of the no desat conceptRobert Cole
This document discusses the NO DESAT concept for improving oxygenation during difficult airway management and preventing desaturation. It describes a case study where nasal cannula oxygen was used at 15 LPM to successfully oxygenate a patient with a history of difficult intubation during efforts to secure their airway. Nasal cannula oxygenation during apnea, known as NO DESAT, works by continuing oxygen flow to the lungs and bloodstream during periods without breathing. It can maintain oxygenation for over 100 minutes and buys time to address airway issues without desaturation. While not perfect for all patients, NO DESAT is a valuable technique for improving preoxygenation and preventing oxygen desaturation during emergency airway management.
- Balloon sinuplasty is a minimally invasive technique for treating sinusitis using balloon catheters to dilate sinus ostia rather than conventional endoscopic sinus surgery.
- Studies show balloon sinuplasty improves symptoms in selected patients with chronic sinusitis and is safe, with minimal adverse effects. However, longer term data is still needed to define its optimal role and indications.
- While initial data is promising for symptom relief and preservation of sinus anatomy compared to traditional FESS, balloon sinuplasty may not eliminate the need for conventional sinus surgery in all patients.
This document discusses strategies for preventing ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in intensive care units. It recommends oral care with chlorhexidine, use of subglottic suctioning, maintaining endotracheal tube cuff pressure between 20-30 cm H2O, and using silver-coated endotracheal tubes. It finds that heat and moisture exchangers and heated humidifiers are equally effective for humidification and do not differ in preventing VAP. Selective decontamination is not recommended due to antibiotic overuse concerns.
This document discusses guidelines for use of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) in patients with COPD exacerbations. It recommends starting NPPV in severe COPD exacerbations to prevent intubation. Factors that may indicate need for intubation include worsening gas exchange, encephalopathy, inability to clear secretions, or hemodynamic instability. Close monitoring is important to assess NPPV effectiveness and make adjustments or intubate if needed to avoid adverse outcomes. The document also reviews NPPV modes, interfaces, humidification and provides tips for troubleshooting issues that may arise with NPPV.
Ossigenazione ed intubazione per sia 2010 ultima versione 2 dicClaudio Melloni
This document discusses the importance of preoxygenation and intubation safety in anesthesia. It provides evidence that:
1) Hypoxemia frequently occurs during surgery and can lead to postoperative complications. Supplemental oxygen can reduce these risks.
2) Preoxygenation is critical for delaying desaturation during intubation, as saturation can drop rapidly in apnea. Mathematical models show how patient factors like weight, lung volume, and hemoglobin levels impact safe apnea times.
3) Respiratory issues are a leading cause of anesthesia-related death and brain damage. Ensuring the airway is protected through careful preoxygenation and intubation techniques can help prevent complications.
Oxygen therapy aims to maintain adequate tissue oxygenation while minimizing strain on the cardiopulmonary system. It is indicated for documented hypoxemia defined as PaO2 < 60 mmHg or SaO2 < 90% on room air, or below desirable levels for a specific condition. Various oxygen delivery devices include nasal cannula, masks, and ventilators, which provide concentrations from 24-100% at flows of 2-10 LPM. Potential complications include oxygen toxicity, respiratory depression, retinopathy, and fire hazards from long term high concentration use without proper monitoring and control of flow rates.

CPAP is described as preventing alveolar collapse, stabilizing the chest wall, and splinting the airway open. Different types of CPAP generators and components are outlined. Bubble CPAP is discussed as a simple and cost effective method. Advantages, initiation, monitoring and complications of CPAP are summarized. Factors in determining ventilator settings and their effects are also reviewed.
COPD Lecture 10 non invasive and invasive mechanical ventilationDr.Mahmoud Abbas
1) Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) can be used to treat acute respiratory failure from COPD exacerbations, cardiogenic pulmonary edema, and severe asthma. It can reduce the need for intubation compared to standard oxygen therapy alone.
2) When using NIV, careful attention should be paid to the interface and fit to minimize leaks, patient-ventilator asynchrony, and skin breakdown. Appropriate ventilator settings are also important to provide effective ventilation while avoiding overdistention.
3) Nocturnal NIV may provide benefits for stable COPD such as improved gas exchange and sleep, but the evidence is less clear. Patient selection is important, and further research is still needed on its

British Thoracic Society guidelines provide recommendations for oxygen use in healthcare settings. The guidelines aim to address issues such as a lack of understanding about appropriate oxygen use and patients receiving oxygen without prescriptions or within prescribed ranges. The guidelines recommend target oxygen saturation ranges for most patients of 94-98% and 88-92% for those at risk of hypercapnic respiratory failure. Lower limits are recommended to avoid potential harms from hypoxemia or hyperoxia.

This document discusses rapid sequence intubation (RSI) for airway management in the pre-hospital setting. It outlines the philosophy of RSI, including that it should only be used if absolutely necessary due to risks. The document provides guidance on RSI techniques, medications, equipment, and verification of proper endotracheal tube placement. Several studies are referenced that show risks of RSI including increased mortality rates, hypoxia, and worse outcomes for head injured patients compared to bag-valve-mask ventilation alone. Proper training and only using RSI for prolonged transports are emphasized.

Manual pressure augmentation in OHCA - David Anderson - TBS24scanFOAM
This document summarizes a presentation on manual pressure augmentation (MPA) for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. MPA involves a paramedic applying firm, even pressure over electrode pads or paddles during defibrillation attempts to potentially improve current delivery to the heart. The presentation reviewed prior studies showing MPA improved defibrillation success for atrial fibrillation. It proposed a new study called AUGMENT-VA to evaluate if MPA could also benefit patients in ventricular fibrillation/ventricular tachycardia. The trial would randomize paramedics to provide standard care or MPA in addition to standard care during cardiac arrest resuscitation efforts, with the goal of improving survival to hospital discharge rates.

While starting a new treatment, the medical team will closely monitor for infection given other health issues. A tracheostomy may be needed to help breathing but will only be considered carefully over the next week based on the patient's condition and risks versus benefits. The team is very concerned about the patient's frailty and limited chances of survival due to the disease and prior health.
Whole blood for trauma haemorrhage - UK experience - Laura Green - TBS24scanFOAM
Whole Blood for Trauma Haemorrhage: UK experience
1) A study in the UK found that using a component of red blood cells and plasma (RCP) in pre-hospital trauma patients reduced wastage and had similar clinical outcomes compared to separate red blood cells and plasma.
2) This led to the development of a whole blood program and component to evaluate the potential benefits of whole blood transfusion in the pre-hospital setting.
3) The SWIFT trial is now underway, randomly assigning severely injured trauma patients to receive either two units of whole blood or two units of red blood cells and plasma to determine if whole blood transfusion leads to reduced mortality or need for massive transfusion.
TBI and CV dysfunction - Flora Bird - TBS24scanFOAM
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major global health problem and the leading cause of death and disability in people under 40 in many countries. Approximately 24% of patients with severe isolated TBI experience cardiovascular dysfunction prior to physician-led emergency helicopter assessment. These patients have lower GCS, higher heart rate and lactate, and worse coagulopathy compared to those without cardiovascular dysfunction. They also require more blood transfusions, have higher mortality, and are less likely to be discharged home. Further research is needed to better understand the pathophysiology of cardiovascular dysfunction following severe TBI in order to improve recognition and treatment in the critical hyperacute phase after injury.
The document appears to be a slide presentation on using point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) in emergency settings. It includes multiple poll questions, ultrasound images, and case descriptions of various trauma and medical patients where POCUS could be used to aid in diagnosis and treatment.

A talk by Sara Crager at TBS24
Shock isn’t about hypotension, it’s about hypoperfusion. While we know this in theory, we don’t do a great job of applying it in practice. In order to move beyond our reliance on blood pressure to recognize shock at the bedside, we need to stop thinking about shock as a diagnosis and instead think about it as a continuum.

Title: Unlocking the Wonders of the Special Senses: Sight, Sound, Smell, Taste, and Balance
Introduction:
Welcome to our captivating SlideShare presentation on the Special Senses, where we delve into the extraordinary capabilities that allow us to perceive and interact with the world around us. Join us on a sensory journey as we explore the intricate structures and functions of sight, sound, smell, taste, and balance.
The special senses are our primary means of experiencing and interpreting the environment, each sense providing unique and vital information that shapes our perceptions and responses. These senses are facilitated by highly specialized organs and complex neural pathways, enabling us to see a vibrant sunset, hear a symphony, savor a delicious meal, detect a fragrant flower, and maintain our equilibrium.
In this presentation, we will:
Visual System (Sight): Dive into the anatomy and physiology of the eye, exploring how light is converted into electrical signals and processed by the brain to create the images we see. Understand common vision disorders and the mechanisms behind corrective measures like glasses and contact lenses.
Auditory System (Hearing): Examine the structures of the ear and the process of sound wave transduction, from the outer ear to the cochlea and auditory nerve. Learn about hearing loss, auditory processing, and the advances in hearing aid technology.
Olfactory System (Smell): Discover the olfactory receptors and pathways that enable the detection of thousands of different odors. Explore the connection between smell and memory and the impact of olfactory disorders on quality of life.
Gustatory System (Taste): Uncover the taste buds and the five basic tastes – sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and umami. Delve into the interplay between taste and smell and the factors influencing our food preferences and eating habits.
Vestibular System (Balance): Investigate the inner ear structures responsible for balance and spatial orientation. Understand how the vestibular system helps maintain posture and coordination, and explore common vestibular disorders and their effects.
Through engaging visuals, interactive diagrams, and insightful explanations, we aim to illuminate the complexities of the special senses and their profound impact on our daily lives. Whether you're a student, educator, or simply curious about how we perceive the world, this presentation will provide valuable insights into the remarkable capabilities of the human sensory system.
Join us as we unlock the wonders of the special senses and gain a deeper appreciation for the intricate mechanisms that allow us to experience the richness of our environment.

Editor's Notes
Hi. My name is
Talk about THRIVE and apneic oxygenation and how it can be used in the operation ward today. Brief introduction but mainly present 2 studies that we have conducted at KS.
I have no conflicts of interest to declare.
ANESTHESIA COMPLICATIONS RELATED TO THE AIRWAY have diminished over the years. We have well known data, here from the ASA Closed Claims Analysis reported in 2006, that show how respiratory events resulting in death and brain damage have decreased over time from the mid 70:ies. But still hypoxia remains a significant problem that can have a dramatic impact on outcome, as has been shown in NAP4 among other studies. TO PREVENT HYPOXIA…
To prevent hypoxia during anesthesia-induced apnea pre-oxygenation with 100% oxygen is standard practice. Pre-oxygenation denitrogenates the lungs and creates an oxygen reserve, mainly in the FRC, that can be utilized during apnea.
Pre-oxygenation prolongs the time to desaturation substantially. Even so; some patients that undergo anesthesia desaturate in spite of the pre-oxygenation. What else can be done to prevent hypoxia? IN ORDER TO FURTHER PROLONG THE TIME TO DESATURATION
Apneic oxygenation can be used. AP OX has been evaluated in both animals and humans since the early 20th century. It has been shown that oxygenation can be well kept for considerable time but also that the limiting factor for its use is the accumulation of CO2 and the lowering of pH which eventually will affect the circulation. As was the case with malignant arrhythmias in the Frumin study from the 50:ies.
In a couple of more recent studies apneic oxygenation with delivery of nasopharyngeal oxygen has been used to extend the apnea time during intubation. In these studies a moderate flow of oxygen of 3-15 L/min was provided. The saturation was well preserved for up to 10 minutes in normal weight individuals but could also be extended in the obese. AS A FURTHER EXTENSION OF THIS TECHNIQUE

APNEIC OXYGENATION using Optiflow with nasal cannulae and a very high flow of oxygen up to 70 L/min was presented in a landmark study , the THRIVE study, by Patel and Nouraei in 2015. THRIVE WAS…
Transnasal Humidified Rapid-Insufflation Ventilatory Exchange technique.
WAS USED for apneic oxygenation until the airway was secured when managing patients with difficult airways in a case series of 25 patients.
The patients were on THRIVE OX for a median time of 14 minutes, the time varied between 5 and 65 min. None of the patients desaturated below 90%.
THE SECOND REMARKABLE FINDING WITH THE THRIVE STUDY…
WAS A SLOWER RISE in carbon dioxide than in earlier studies, approx 0,15 kPa/min. CO2 accumulation in earlier studies, with low flow of oxygen, was about 0,5 kPa/min, as you all are well familiar with. The CO2 rise in the THRIVE study was comparable to two studies were oxygen was delivered directly in the trachea with moderate and very high flow. That means there seems to be partial wash out of CO2 whith this high flow of oxygen although the mechanism is not entirely clear. The CO2 level was measured in endtidal gas, before and after the apneic oxygenation.
THE RATIONALE FOR THE STUDY THAT WE CONDUCTED IS THE FACT THAT…
(Rudlof & Hohenhorst: 0,5 l/min in trachea
Watson et al: 45 l/min in trachea.)
Use of THRIVE is increasing. Optiflow is a well-known device in the intensive care and has been used for > a decade in patients that are weaned from a ventilator or even as an alternative respiratory support. In the same manner it has also been used postoperatively, after extubation. The use postoperatively or in the ICU is in spontaneously breathing patients.
Apneic oxygenation, in an anesthetised and paralysed patient, using Optiflow had only been described in one study, the THRIVE study in 2015 (in these 25 patients) and monitoring of CO2 was endtidal. It had not been evaluated with arterial blood gases. THIS WAS DONE IN OUR STUDY…
THAT WAS Published in the BJA in april this year and Highlighted in an editorial.
THE AIM OF THE STUDY WAS
THE AIM OF THE STUDY WAS …to characterize changes in arterial PO2, PCO2 and pH during apneic oxygenation using THRIVE under general anesthesia. We were very inspired and encouraged by our friends and colleagues from London.
THE STUDY WAS CONDUCTED…
At the ENT operation ward KS in adult patients, (ASA 1-2), undergoing shorter laryngeal surgery. They had general anesthesia TCI with propofol and remifentanil. NMB was induced with rocuronium.
Pre-oxygenation and sole mode of ventilation, in these anesthetised and paralysed patients, was THRIVE, 100 % oxygen, 40 L/min, increased to 70 L/min after anesth induction. The anesthesiologist was careful to keep the airway open at all times.
Vital parameters and transcutaneous CO2 were measured. Blood gases were sampled every 5 minutes.
30 PATIENTS WITH A MEAN AGE…
Thirty patients with a mean age 51 ± 13 years and BMI 25 ± 4 completed the study. Mean apnea duration was 22.5± 4.5 min. This is during surgery. No respiration trace on the screen!! WE FOUND THAT OXYGENATION USING THRIVE…
Oxygenation was well kept. Left graph: SpO2 was never below 91% for any individual with a mean value never below 98%. Right graph shows: oxygen saturation for each individual at end of apnea. Each dot representing one individual. AS FOR THE RISE IN CO2…
We found the rise in arterial CO2 during apnea to be 0.24 ± 0.04 kPa/min which is lower than average values traditionally presented. ETCO2 was measured during spontaneous breathing before anesthesia induction and on the first breath of controlled ventilation at end of apnea. The rise of end tidal CO2 0,12 kPa/min. Consistent with the original THRIVE study by Patel and Nouraei.
Top left: arterial carbon dioxide for each individual at end of apnea. Each dot representing one individual. Bottom left graph: the rise of transcutaneous and arterial CO2over time. No difference in transcutaneous and arterial CO2could be seen. Bottom right: CO2 and its relation to pH over time. No pH was lower than 7,13.
WHEN WE PLOT OUR RESULTS
WHEN WE PLOT OUR RESULTS into the graph from the original THRIVE study we find well correlating results.
BASED ON THESE FINDINGS…
Conclusion: Based on these results we can say that THRIVE can safely be used for oxygenation in anesthetized patients during apnea. Provided they have an open airway at all times! The lower rise in carbon dioxide compared to the classical studies makes it possible to extend the apneic time period. Our recommendation is that monitoring of CO2 should be used SINCE ENDTIDAL MONITORING IS NOT POSSIBLE during THRIVE and apnea.
THE EDITORIAL BY DR NEKHENDZY STATED THAT …
Optiflow has found it´s place in anesthesia. And that it can be used for shorter surgery but also providing extra safety when managing a diffcult airway.
Safe oxygenation during apnea seems desirable if the apnea period is prolonged, especially in rapid sequence induction of anesthesia, when manual ventilation is avoided.
WHICH LED US TO THE SECOND STUDY THAT I HAVE PRESENTED AS A POSTER HERE AT THIS MEETING …
THIS WAS A randomized controlled trial comparing pre-oxygenation with either the traditional tight occluding facemask or THRIVE in patients presenting for emergency surgery where RSI was indicated. This had not previously been done when we started our trial. BUT WE FOUND OURSELVES
We found ourselves beaten in the race by our British colleagues F Mir and co-workers who performed a similar trial of 40 patients that was published in March 2017 when we just had finished our data collection. Primary outcome in the Mir study was partial pressure of O2. No difference in arterial oxygen pressure between the 2 groups was seen. That was in spite of a longer total apnea time in the THRIVE group compared to facemask. Nevertheless: THRIVE was not inferior to facemask but a benefit for THRIVE could not be shown.
THE PRIMARY AIM IN OUR PRE-OXYGENATION STUDY…
The primary aim was to compare the lowest oxygen saturation within 1 min of intub using either THRIVE or facemask pre-oxygenation. We also compared the number of patients that desaturated below SpO2 93%, assessed occurrence of gastric regurg and patient discomfort.
THE STUDY WAS CONDUCTED AT THE Trauma and Emerg Dept at K.Hosp and 80 patients….
80 adult patients were included. They were randomized to receive pre-ox with either THRIVE or facemask.
Pre-ox with 100% O2 for a minimum of 3 min. FM: fresh gas flow at least 10 l/min THRIVE: 40 70 l/min
Lowest SpO2 within 1 minute of intub. As well as time for apnea and intub.
DATA FROM 79 OF THE 80 INCLUDED PATIENTS WERE ANALYZED…
There were no differences regarding patient characteristics or type of surgery between the 2 groups. There also were no differences in difficulty of intubation or time for apnea and intubation between groups.
AS FOR PRIMARY OUTCOME:
In spite of an apparent difference in outcome a statistical difference in median lowest SpO2 during intubation between the two groups could not be seen (p = 0.097).
Median lowest SpO2 during intubation, until one minute after the tracheal tube was put in place, was 99% in both groups with range (70-100%) for the facemask group and (96-100%) for the THRIVE group. (Fig 1)
ALTHOUGH WE DID SEE A DIFFERENCE IN SECONDARY OUTCOME
Mean values for lowest SpO2 until one minute after intubation were 99.2% (1.0) and 96.8% (5.8) for the THRIVE and facemask group, respectively.
5 out of 39 patients desaturated below 93%, our predefined limit, when the facemask was used vs none in the THRIVE-group which was a significant difference. THERE WERE NO SIGNS…
No signs of regurgit of gastric content. We also found no difference in perceived discomfort with a medium rating of VAS 2 (0-10) in the facemask group and 1 (0-8) for the THRIVE group (p = 0.44).
TO CONCLUDE: Our findings indicate…
OUR FINDINGS indicate that THRIVE is safe to use for pre-oxygenation in rapid sequence induction for emergency surgery in this setting. (BMI< 35, non-pregnant, not requiring NIV to keep oxygen saturation before anesthesia start) We found no benefit in our primary outcome but
THRIVE may offer an advantage compared to pre-oxygenation with facemask shown in this study as a difference in numbers of patients desaturating in SpO2 below 93%.
