The study was designed to investigate the changes in pressure and volume of a tracheal tube-cuff inflated with air, mixture of N2O + O2, saline and 4% lidocaine during nitrous oxide anesthesia. This study was conducted in 80 patients (33 male & 47 female). The pressure and volume of a tracheal tube cuff increased with air, decreased with mixture of N2O + O2 and almost remained the same with saline and 4% lidocaine.

This document provides a comprehensive analysis of the use of point-of-care ultrasound in heart failure (HF), offering detailed recommendations on echocardiography, lung ultrasound, and venous ultrasound. These advanced imaging techniques allow for an accurate, detailed, and non-invasive evaluation of heart failure, facilitating rapid and effective clinical decision-making. Echocardiography enables a rapid assessment of cardiac function at the point of care, enhancing traditional physical examination and being essential for the management of heart failure (HF).
