Background: We compared the modified ROX index and ROX index scores in earlier predictions of high-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) therapy outcomes in patients with acute respiratory failure.
Methods: We conducted a prospective observational study on 151 acute respiratory failure patients initiated on HFNO therapy. The primary objective of this research was to compare the modified ROX index and ROX index to investigate which score predicted HFNO treatment outcome earlier.
Background: No research has been conducted to compare long-axis in-plane and short-axis out-of-plane techniques for ultrasound-guided posterior tibial artery cannulation in adults. This study compared these two procedures for cannulating the posterior tibial artery.
Methods: This prospective randomized trial included 236 adult patients undergoing general anesthesia who required arterial cannulation.
