Laryngeal surgery requires a shared airway and close collaboration between surgeon and anaesthetist in order to optimise operating conditions. Apnoeic oxygenation uses the principle of aventilatory mass flow to maintain oxygenation of pulmonary capillary blood under apnoeic conditions while minimising laryngeal movement. Concerns regarding accumulation of carbon dioxide and resultant acidaemia have limited the use of the technique. We performed a prospective study of low-flow apnoeic oxygenation for patients undergoing microlaryngoscopy under general anaesthesia in order to evaluate the ability of the technique to maintain oxygenation and determine the resultant rate of carbon dioxide accumulation. Sixty-four patients undergoing microlaryngoscopy under general anaesthesia were studied between November 2016 and December 2018. Intra-operative oxygenation was provided via a 10-French oxygen catheter placed into the trachea delivering oxygen at 0.5-1.0 l.min . Data regarding apnoea time, peripheral oxygen saturation and venous blood gas concentrations were recorded. The mean (SD) duration of apnoea was 18.7 (7.2) min. Apnoeic oxygenation allowed successful completion of the surgical procedure in 62/64 patients. Mean (SD) rate of rise of the venous partial pressure of carbon dioxide was 0.15 (0.10) kPa.min . Operating conditions were recorded qualitatively as being adequate in all cases. No adverse effects were reported. Low-flow intra-tracheal apnoeic oxygenation is a simple, effective and inexpensive technique to maintain oxygenation for laryngeal surgery.

Toward a hyperventilation detection system in freediving: a proof of concept using force sensor technology.

Environmental Physiology Group, Department of Health Sciences, Mid Sweden University, Östersund, Sweden.
Background And Aim: Hyperventilation before breath-hold diving (freediving) is widely accepted as a risk factor for hypoxic syncope or blackout (BO), but there is no practical way to address it before dives. This study explores the feasibility of using a force sensor to predict end-tidal carbon dioxide ( CO) to assess hyperventilation in freedivers.
Methods And Results: Twenty-one freedivers volunteered to participate during two national competitions.
Reimagining apnea monitoring in the neonatal ICU.
Curr Opin Pediatr
December 2024
Division of Neonatology, Montreal Children's Hospital, McGill University Health Center, Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
Purpose Of Review: This review outlines the prevalence and complications of apneas and intermittent hypoxemic events in preterm infants, examines current monitoring limitations in neonatal ICUs (NICUs), and explores emerging technologies addressing these challenges.
Recent Findings: New evidence from the Prematurity-Related Ventilatory Control (Pre-Vent) study, which analyzed cardiorespiratory data from 717 extremely preterm infants, exposes the varying frequency, duration, and severity of apneas, intermittent hypoxemia, bradycardias, and periodic breathing during hospitalization, and highlights the negative impact of intermittent hypoxemia on pulmonary outcomes at discharge. Although traditional monitoring methods cannot differentiate between apnea types and quantify their burden, recent advancements in sensor technologies and data integration hold promise for improving real-time detection and evaluation of apneas in the NICU.
Correlation of lipid profile APO A1 and APO B100 in chronic periodontitis patients leading to coronary artery disease.

Background: Increased attention has been focused on the association of periodontal disease with cardio-metabolic syndrome. Although the associations are multi-factorial, very few studies have explored the role of lipoprotein Apo A1 and Apo B100 with chronic periodontitis. Additionally, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a chronic multi-factorial respiratory disease, consists of a temporary decrease or cessation of breath for ≥ 10 seconds and leads to a reduction in blood oxygen saturation of more than 3% to 4% and/or neurological arousal.
