Effectiveness of high-flow nasal cannula oxygen in apneic oxygenation during intubation in high-risk surgical patients: a systematic review protocol.

Objective: This review will investigate the effectiveness of high-flow nasal oxygen in apneic oxygenation through safe apnea time and other ventilation parameters in patients at high risk of oxygen desaturation during induction and tracheal intubation for anesthesia management.

Introduction: High-risk surgical patient groups include obese patients, those with suspected or known obstructive sleep apnea, and critically ill patients, who are at risk of rapid oxygen desaturation during intubation. Conventional oxygen administration in induction and intubation of patients undergoing general anesthesia include nasal cannulas, simple face masks, Venturi, buccal oxygenation, bag-valve mask ventilation, and non-invasive ventilation.

Incidence and factors impacting PTSD following the 2005 Eyre Peninsula bushfires in South Australia - A 7 year follow up study.

Objectives: To identify the incidence and factors impacting post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) at 6 months, 2 and 7 years following the 2005 Eyre Peninsula bushfires in South Australia.

Methods: A questionnaire was used to assess symptoms.

Design And Setting: A longitudinal follow-up study with responses collected from a self-report booklet.

Airway Management in the Operating Room and Interventional Suites in Known or Suspected COVID-19 Adult Patients: A Practical Review.

Current evidence suggests that coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) spread occurs via respiratory droplets (particles >5 µm) and possibly through aerosol. The rate of transmission remains high during airway management. This was evident during the 2003 severe acute respiratory syndrome epidemic where those who were involved in tracheal intubation had a higher risk of infection than those who were not involved (odds ratio 6.

Effectiveness of endoscopic versus external surgical approaches in the treatment of orbital complications of rhinosinusitis: a systematic review protocol.

Objective: This review aims to investigate and compare the effectiveness of endoscopic drainage techniques against external drainage techniques for the treatment of orbital and subperiosteal abscesses as a complication of rhinosinusitis.

Introduction: Transnasal endoscopic drainage and external drainage techniques have been used in the management of subperiosteal orbital abscesses secondary to rhinosinusitis. Each of these approaches has its own advantages and disadvantages, with extensive literature describing each technique separately.
