: A tracheostomy is a frequently performed surgical intervention in intensive care units (ICUs) for patients requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation. This procedure can offer significant benefits, including reduced sedation requirements, improved patient comfort, and enhanced airway management. However, it is also associated with various risks, and the absence of standardized clinical guidelines complicates its implementation.

BMC Ophthalmol
January 2025
Department of Ophthalmology, Children's Hospital of Fudan University, National Children's Medical Center, Wanyuan Road No.399, Shanghai, 201102, China.
Purpose: To evaluate the macular development in preterm infants with spontaneously regressed retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) utilizing handheld spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) during the early postnatal period.
Design: A cross-sectional observational study.
Methods: Using handheld SD-OCT, OCT images were acquired in non-sedated infants ages about 37 weeks(w) post-menstrual-age (PMA = gestational age in weeks + chronological age).
Background: Research data on the extent of and protocols related to physical restraint (PR) in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) are scarce. Most previous studies in China on this topic have focused on the prevalence, reasons, and background of PR use among adult patients.
Purpose: This study was designed to delineate the application of PR and the factors associated with PR use in PICUs in China.
Introduction: Hypoxaemia is a frequent complication associated with endoscopy conducted under intravenous sedation, highlighting the need for effective and practical interventions. This systematic review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of nasal mask oxygenation in reducing the incidence of hypoxaemia during endoscopy under intravenous sedation compared with the conventional oxygen supply.
Methods And Analysis: This study strictly adheres to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis Protocol guidelines.

January 2025
Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Nara Medical University, 840, Shijo-Cho, 634-8522, Kashihara, Nara, Japan.
Purpose: This study aimed to analyze changes in anxiety and comfort levels at each perioperative stage during third molar extraction under single-agent intravenous midazolam sedation, and to clarify how these conditions at each perioperative stage affect postoperative satisfaction.
Patients And Method: 115 who requested extraction of 1 ~ 4 third molars under single-agent intravenous midazolam sedation were targeted. These patients were administered a questionnaire survey one week after surgery.
