This study assessed the knowledge of intensive care and emergency room nurses regarding pulse oximetry. It surveyed 141 nurses using a questionnaire. The results showed that nurses had a moderate average knowledge score but lacked training on pulse oximetry. Specifically, most nurses did not attend in-service trainings or conferences on pulse oximetry and their knowledge scores were weakly correlated with the length of prior trainings. The study concluded that nurses did not have sufficient knowledge of pulse oximetry principles and usage.

This document discusses using ultrasound to evaluate the diaphragm muscle in patients undergoing pulmonary rehabilitation.
The study examined over 1,300 patients using ultrasound before and after rehabilitation to measure diaphragm excursion. Ultrasound measurements improved in 76% of patients compared to 56% for the 6-minute walk test. Ultrasound was found to be a safe, fast, and reliable method for monitoring the effectiveness of rehabilitation.
The conclusions state that ultrasound evaluation of the diaphragm provides a valid, practical way to monitor treatment alongside traditional evaluation methods. Improvements measured by ultrasound correlate with improvements in walking tests and lung function tests. Ultrasound may be particularly useful for evaluating patients who cannot
Endoflip after peroral_endoscopic_mytotomy_v0.1
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of POEM on the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) using the EndoFLIP system. 23 patients underwent POEM and pre- and post-operative EndoFLIP measurements. Before POEM, the mean EGJ diameter was 5.1 mm and area was 32.9 mm2. After POEM, the diameter increased to 11.3 mm and area to 102.38 mm2. EndoFLIP detected one incomplete myotomy, allowing further treatment. Short-term follow-up found complete dysphagia relief and no complications. EndoFLIP provided objective measurements of POEM's effects on LES distensibility compared to subjective evaluations.

This document summarizes the technique and outcomes of peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) based on the author's experience and literature. In 3 sentences:
POEM is a minimally invasive treatment for achalasia that involves cutting the esophageal muscle through an incision in the mouth using an endoscope, with benefits over laparoscopic surgery of being less invasive, allowing full control of the myotomy, and preserving the phrenoesophageal membrane. Studies show POEM provides over 90% treatment success based on the author's experience of 282 cases. While long-term data is still needed, POEM appears as effective as surgery with fewer side effects and shorter recovery time based on comparative studies.

This study compared outcomes of endovascular repair (rEVAR) versus open surgery for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (rAAA) in patients suitable for rEVAR. The study found lower mortality rates after rEVAR compared to open surgery at intraoperative, 30-day, and 6-month follow-up in suitable patients. Length of hospital stay was also shorter for rEVAR. The results suggest rEVAR provides superior outcomes to open surgery for rAAA in patients suitable for the endovascular approach.
8 cm pillow journal club
Background: Neck flexion by head elevation using an 8 to 10 cm thick pillow and head extension has been suggested to
align the laryngeal, pharyngeal and oral axis and facilitate tracheal intubation. Presently, the laryngeal view and discomfort
for tracheal intubation were evaluated according to two different degrees of head elevation in adult patients.
Methods: This prospective randomized, controlled study included 50 adult patients aged 18 to 90 years. After induction
of anesthesia, the Cormack Lehane grade was evaluated in 25 patients using a direct laryngoscope while the patient’s head
was elevated with a 4 cm pillow (4 cm group) and then an 8 cm pillow (8 cm group). In the other 25 patients, the grades
were evaluated in the opposite sequence and tracheal intubation was performed. The success rate and anesthesiologist’s
discomfort score for tracheal intubation, and laryngeal, pharyngeal and oral axes were assessed.
Results: There were no differences in the laryngeal view and success rate for tracheal intubation between the two groups.
The discomfort score during tracheal intubation was higher in the 8 cm group when the patient’s head was elevated 4 cm
first and then 8 cm. The alignment of laryngeal, pharyngeal and oral axes were not different between the two degrees of
head elevation.
Conclusions: A pillow of 8 cm height did not improve laryngeal view and alignment of airway axes but increased the anesthesiologist
discomfort, compared to a pillow of 4 cm height, during tracheal intubation in adult patients.
Key Words: Airway management, Intratracheal intubation, Laryngoscope, Vocal cords.
PREDICTION OF DIFFICULT AIRWAY MANAGEMENT -VARIOUS STUDIES
This study compared the predictive value of the Upper Lip Bite Test (ULBT) and ratio of height to thyromental distance (RHTMD) to other tests for predicting difficult laryngoscopy. 480 patients were evaluated using ULBT, RHTMD, mouth opening, Mallampati score, neck movement, and thyromental distance. ULBT and RHTMD had the highest sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values. ULBT was found to be the best individual predictor. While RHTMD was also found to be a useful alternative predictive test due to accounting for individual body proportions better than thyromental distance alone. The combination of ULBT and RHTMD with other tests may help improve difficult airway prediction

USING SMS SYSTEM FOR INFORMING DOCTORS REGARDING PATIENTS STATUSAll India Institute of Medical Sciences
This document discusses using SMS messaging to notify doctors of critically ill patients in the emergency department (ED) in a timely manner. It proposes an automated SMS system to alert doctors and provide patient details like their registration number. The SMS would help doctors reach patients within the golden hour and ensure accountability if they fail to review a patient after being notified. Sending SMS alerts could help nurses notify doctors faster without having to search for them in person. While SMS provides benefits like timely alerts, doctors may get irritated by repeated messages if they cannot respond quickly. Overall, the SMS system could help provide optimal emergency care and save patients' golden hours.Recommended

Technique of tracheostomy
This document discusses techniques for performing surgical tracheostomies. It begins by providing historical context and then covers indications and timing considerations. The optimal timing remains controversial but most agree conversion from an endotracheal tube to tracheostomy is indicated after 7-10 days of intubation if the patient is not likely to be extubated soon. The document then reviews tracheostomy anatomy and techniques including standard open surgical procedure which involves making a transverse incision above the suprasternal notch, retracting muscles to expose the trachea, and creating a vertical incision between tracheal rings to insert the tracheostomy tube. Post-procedure care and complications are also briefly mentioned.

The document compares laparoscopic appendectomy and open appendectomy for treating pediatric appendicitis. 260 patients were randomly assigned to either laparoscopic or open appendectomy. Results showed laparoscopic appendectomy had shorter incision lengths, less blood loss, shorter operation time, earlier time to leave bed and eat, and lower incidence of complications like infection. The conclusion is that laparoscopic appendectomy results in less trauma and faster recovery than open appendectomy for pediatric appendicitis patients.American Journal of Anesthesia & Clinical Research
Methods: Retrospectively, the file records of the patients who underwent sleeve gastrectomy were examined. Demographic features, Body Mass Index (BMI), the mouth opening, Mallampati score, thyromental distance, sternomental distance, neck circumference measurements and videolaryngoscopic examination results were recorded Results: In a total of 140 consecutive patients (58 male, 82 female) were included in the study. The mean age of the study participants was 35.40 ± 9.78 and the mean BMI of the patients was 44.33 ± 7.52 kg/m2
. The mean mouth opening of the patients was 4.82 ± 0.54 cm
and the mean neck circumference was 43.52 ± 4.66 cm. The mean thyromental distance was 8.02 ± 1.00 cm and the mean sternomental distance was16.58 ± 1.53 cm. Difficult intubation was determined in 8 (5.7%) patients. In logistic regression analysis, age (p : 0.446), gender (p : 0.371), BMI (p : 0.947), snoring (p : 0.567), sleep apnea (p : 0.218), mouth opening (p : 0.687), thyromental distance (p :0.557), sternomental (p : 0.596) and neck circumference (p : 0.838) were not the independent predictors of difficult intubation. However, Mallampati score (p : 0.001) and preoperative direct laryngoscopy findings (p : 0.037) performed in outpatient clinic were the significant
predictors of difficult intubation. Interestingly, all patients with grade 4 laryngoscopy findings had difficult intubation.

This study aimed to identify risk factors for actual appendiceal perforation in patients diagnosed with non-perforated appendicitis by CT scan. The researchers conducted a retrospective case-control study of 1362 patients at a hospital in South Korea between 2006-2013. They found age over 35, temperature over 37.7°C, neutrophil count over 65%, and appendiceal diameter over 8mm were associated with actual perforation. The study identified body temperature, symptom duration, age, and appendiceal diameter as independent risk factors to help determine surgical priority and reduce complications from undiagnosed perforation.

Chest ultrasonography (CUS) may be more accurate than supine chest radiography (CXR) for diagnosing pneumothorax in trauma patients in the emergency department. A review of 13 studies found CUS had higher sensitivity while similar specificity compared to CXR. Rapid pneumothorax detection with CUS could enable earlier intervention like tube thoracostomy, reducing complications. The authors conclude CUS should be incorporated into trauma protocols based on its potential to improve outcomes for ED trauma patients over CXR.

This study analyzed 1461 polytrauma patients to compare outcomes between those with and without a clavicle fracture. Patients with a clavicle fracture had a higher mean Injury Severity Score and were more likely to have additional thoracic injuries, including rib fractures and lung injuries. The study found that a clavicle fracture, which is easily diagnosed in the primary survey, indicates a significant risk of underlying thoracic trauma. Therefore, clinicians should have a low threshold for further evaluation of the thorax when a clavicle fracture is present in polytrauma patients.

Empyema Guidelines
The document discusses guidelines for diagnosing and treating empyema, which is pus and fluid in the pleural cavity caused by infected lung tissue. It describes empyema in three stages - exudative, fibrinopurulent, and organizing - and recommends treatments including antibiotics, chest tube drainage, and possibly fibrinolytics or surgery depending on the stage and severity. Surgical interventions like video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) are preferred over open thoracotomy when possible as they are associated with shorter hospital stays.

The dose discrepancy between the initial plan and the perturbed plans was calculated as the percentage of the initial plan. Dose indices, including D99 and D95 for Internal Target Volume (ITV) and Gross Tumor Volume (GTV), were adopted as endpoint samples. The mean dose discrepancy was calculated under the 3-dimensional space distribution. In this study, we found that intrafraction motion can lead to serious dose degradation of the target and ITV in lung SBRT, especially during SBRT with PTV surrounding the lower isodose line. This phenomenon was compromised when 3-dimensional space distribution was considered. This result may provide a prospective reference for target dose degradation due to intrafraction motion during lung SBRT treatment.

Intrafraction variation was simulated by shifting the nominal plan isocenter along six directions from 0.5 mm to 4.5 mm with a 1-mm step size to produce a series of perturbed plans. The dose discrepancy between the initial plan and the perturbed plans was calculated as the percentage of the initial plan

The purpose of this study was to investigate the target dose discrepancy caused by intrafraction variation during Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) for lung cancer. Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) plans were designed based on Average Computed Tomography (AVG CT) utilizing the Planning Target Volume (PTV) surrounding the 65% and 85% prescription isodoses in both phantom and patient cases. Intrafraction variation was simulated by shifting the nominal plan isocenter along six directions from 0.5 mm to 4.5 mm with a 1-mm step size to produce a series of perturbed plans. The dose discrepancy between the initial plan and the perturbed plans was calculated as the percentage of the initial plan. Dose indices, including D99 and D95 for Internal Target Volume (ITV) and Gross Tumor Volume (GTV), were adopted as endpoint samples. The mean dose discrepancy was calculated under the 3-dimensional space distribution. In this study, we found that intrafraction motion can lead to serious dose degradation of the target and ITV in lung SBRT, especially during SBRT with PTV surrounding the lower isodose line. This phenomenon was compromised when 3-dimensional space distribution was considered. This result may provide a prospective reference for target dose degradation due to intrafraction motion during lung SBRT treatment.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
