Preliminary Assessment of an Ambulatory Device Dedicated to Upper Airway Muscle Training in Patients With Sleep Apnea: Proof-of-Concept Study

Preliminary Assessment of an Ambulatory Device Dedicated to Upper Airway Muscle Training in Patients With Sleep Apnea: Proof-of-Concept Study

OSAHS originates from repetitive closure of the upper airway (UA). The negative impacts of OSAHS include a deterioration of quality of life [4] and an increase in cardiovascular and metabolic morbidity [5-10]. Currently, the gold standard for treatment of this condition is continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) [5] machines, which provide constant pressure to the sleeping patient via an oral or nasal mask.

Airway Sequelae After Mechanical Ventilation for COVID-19: Protocol for a Scoping Review

Airway Sequelae After Mechanical Ventilation for COVID-19: Protocol for a Scoping Review

Airway sequelae can be due to several etiologies and cause disability by problems related to breathing, deglutition, and voice production [1-3]. Since the early decades of the twentieth century, when orotracheal intubation (OTI) became popular in clinical practice, the most frequent etiology of airway sequelae is iatrogenic and secondary to invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) [1].

Critical Analysis and Cross-Comparison Between English and Chinese Websites Providing Online Medical Information for Patients With Adenoid Hypertrophy: Cross-sectional Study

Critical Analysis and Cross-Comparison Between English and Chinese Websites Providing Online Medical Information for Patients With Adenoid Hypertrophy: Cross-sectional Study

Adenoid hypertrophy, as the most common cause of chronic upper airway obstruction in children, can be worrisome to parents. Adenoid hypertrophy can cause mouth breathing, nasal congestion, hyponasal speech, snoring, and obstructive sleep apnea, and can potentially lead to serious complications in the long-term, such as growth retardation, cardiovascular abnormality, and craniofacial change [1].

Muscular Assessment in Patients With Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome: Protocol for a Case-Control Study

Muscular Assessment in Patients With Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome: Protocol for a Case-Control Study

Obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is a significant public health issue characterized by repetitive episodes of airway obstruction during sleep associated with snoring, sleep fragmentation, daytime sleepiness, and increased cardiovascular risk [1,2]. It is well established that the most effective treatment for OSAHS is continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) [3], which has variable patient compliance.

Endotracheal Intubation Among the Critically Ill: Protocol for a Multicenter, Observational, Prospective Study

Endotracheal Intubation Among the Critically Ill: Protocol for a Multicenter, Observational, Prospective Study

Recently, there have been a variety of new devices emerging that are designed to assist with a difficult airway, such as video laryngoscopes. These devices have been reported to reduce unwanted effects of endotracheal intubation (ie, a failed airway). In addition to new devices, intubation checklists and sedative choices have undergone changes with uncertain effects on patient morbidity and mortality.
