Tubeless Anesthesia in Subglottic Stenosis: Comparative Review of Apneic Low-Flow Oxygenation With THRIVE.

Objective: Managing the shared airway in subglottic stenosis presents a unique challenge. Tubeless anesthesia with apneic oxygenation is increasingly being adopted as it overcomes the limitations of access to and visualization of the narrowed subglottis. Low-flow oxygenation (LFO) and transnasal humidified rapid-insufflation ventilatory exchange (THRIVE) are two delivery techniques.

Incidence and risk factors for clozapine-induced myocarditis and cardiomyopathy at a regional mental health service in Australia.

Objective: To determine the incidence of clozapine-induced myocarditis and cardiomyopathy and identify risk factors.

Method: A cohort of 129 patients initiated on clozapine at Toowoomba Mental Health Service from year 2000 until 2011 was examined to evaluate cases of myocarditis and cardiomyopathy. Risk factors were analysed using multivariable logistic regression.
