The combination of congenital heart disease (CHD) and respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) can present a difficult scenario to manage with conventional mechanical ventilation (CMV). Our patient presented with poor right ventricular (RV) function, and refractory respiratory failure on CMV. High-frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) was ...

One of many lessons learned during the pandemic is the importance of in-person learning to student equity, educational development, and social health. Pandemic control strategies such as school closures and distance learning programs are now considered last-resort options by most public health professionals and educators. Understanding this, it’s clear we need to take all reasonable steps ...
As the relentless waves of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to wash over the world, much attention has been focused on the idea of hospital bed shortages. As cases strain hospital systems everywhere, the most-commonly reported metrics one hears have to do with beds; how many ICU beds left, how many emergency beds, how many beds overall. While it is of course critical to understand how much physical ...
What is a Gas Humidifier? A gas humidifier is an instrument for artificially warming and humidifying respiratory gas for mechanically ventilated patients. When natural respiratory humidification decreases pulmonic infections and damage to lung tissue may ...
A 45 year old man suffering from high fever and shortness of breath was admitted to a covid-19 isolation floor at a US hospital employing our enteral navigation system. The patient was not mechanically ventilated but rather placed on a BiPAP machine. In six minutes the feeding tube was placed safely into his small bowel allowing for effective and early ...
With winter just around the corner, the management of ventilation inside buildings is becoming increasingly important. We’ve known for some time that there is a risk of the virus spreading via airborne transmission and now the cooler weather has arrived forcing windows and natural ventilation sources to close, it is something that workplaces need to address. Over recent months, the role ...
Abstract Rationale:Patients with severe coronavirus disease (COVID-19) require supplemental oxygen and ventilatory support. It is unclear whether some respiratory support devices may increase the dispersion of infectious bioaerosols and thereby place healthcare workers at increased risk of infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Objectives:To ...

This case study discusses hospital readmissions and provides healthcare professionals with recommended medical algorithms in the form of scores, models, and calculators that can aid in reducing readmissions, especially when related to antibiotic resistant microbiological pathogens. When health analytics, such as the CDC antibiotic resistance program and other algorithms are integrated into ...
