Background: A noninvasive ventilation (NIV) mask has been designed to deliver NIV with expiratory washout to improve efficacy of ventilation by optimizing clearance of expired gases from the anatomic dead space. This study compared the performance and comfort of a novel investigational mask with expiratory washout with a conventional mask during NIV therapy.
Methods: In this pilot crossover study, participants with severe stable COPD attended a single visit to receive bi-level NIV through 2 masks; the investigational mask with expiratory washout and a conventional mask.

Introduction: Airway ultrasound has been increasingly used in correct positioning of endotracheal tube. We hypothesize that a safe distance between endotracheal tube tip and carina can be achieved with the aid of ultrasound.
Aim Of The Study: Our primary objective was to determine whether ultrasound guided visualisation of proximal end of endotracheal tube cuff is better when compared to conventional method in optimal positioning of tube tip.
Introduction: One of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide is out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Early defibrillation and high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) have improved survival. The main goal of CPR is to achieve return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), which is assessed by looking for a pulse, analyzing the heart rhythm, and assessing carbon dioxide levels.

Objectives: Different sedo-analgesia and monitoring methods are used during endoscopic procedures. And yet, there is no consensus on optimal sedating agents. In this study, the main aim is to compare ketamine-propofol and remifentanil propofol sedo-analgesia protocols by monitoring integrated pulmonary index (IPI).

Background: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive diaphragm weakness and deteriorating lung function. Bulbar involvement and cough weakness contribute to respiratory morbidity and mortality. ALS-related respiratory failure significantly affects quality of life and is the leading cause of death.
