Recent Advances on Pediatric Ventilation
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Clinical Anaesthesia - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
The prevention of ventilator-induced lung injury and diaphragmatic dysfunction is now a key aspect in the management of mechanical ventilation, since these complications may lead to higher mortality and prolonged length of stay in intensive care units. Different physiological measurements, such as esophageal pressure, electrical activity of the diaphragm, and volumetric capnography, may be useful objective tools to help guide ventilator assistance.

Ultrasound guided paramedian approach compared with landmark based paramedian approach for thoracic epidural
Introduction: Currently, one has to rely on surface anatomical landmarks and loss of resistance technique for epidural analgesia. It frequently (70%) leads to incorrect identification of a given inter-space as it is a bl...
