Study Objectives: Inattentional blindness is the psychological phenomenon of inability to see the unexpected even if it is in plain view. We hypothesized that anesthesiologists may overlook unexpected intraoperative events whereas medical students, lacking in intraoperative monitoring experience and knowledge, may be more likely to notice such events.
Design: A simulation study using a video of a simulated septic patient undergoing abdominal surgery.
Objective: To evaluate, by systematic review, the efficacy of heliox on respiratory mechanics and outcomes in patients with acute asthma.
Methods: The search strategy included searching electronic databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, and The Cochrane Library) and the references of relevant articles. Study quality was assessed based on allocation concealment.
