Continuous cerebral blood flow monitoring: What should we do with these extra numbers?

NeoDoppler is a noninvasive monitoring device that can be attached to a patient's head to provide real-time continuous cerebral Doppler evaluation. A feasibility study shows that it can be used in operating theatres during anaesthesia to potentially guide haemodynamic management. We discuss the impact of this new device and which further research would be necessary to find its role in clinical practice.

Three-Dimensional Imaging-Based Web Application for Predicting Tracheal Tube Depth in Preterm Neonates.

Background: Positioning a tracheal tube (TT) to the correct depth in preterm infants is challenging. Currently, there is no reliable single-predictor model for neonates applicable to the whole range of size or age.

Objective: In this study, we used post-mortem magnetic resonance imaging (PMMRI) of preterm infants to measure tracheal dimensions and to develop a clinical guide for TT positioning.
