Article Abstract
Purpose: To investigate how variations in positioning of laryngoscope and location of jet cannula on the laryngoscope body influence tracheal airflow during simulated high-pressure source supraglottic (HPSV) jet ventilation laryngoscopy using an anatomical model.
Methods: A Broncho Boy Bronchoscopy model was modified to allow recording of tracheal airflow. A laryngoscope was suspended and positioned to simulate laryngoscopy. HPSV was delivered by a jet cannula attached to the body of the laryngoscope. Different combinations of laryngoscope angulation and cannula attachment were used and air flow recorded for each combination. Statistical analysis assessed the variations in flow.
Results: Significant statistical differences in flow effect (P < 0.05) were shown, indicating that laryngoscope position and attachment of jet cannula have a significant effect on tracheal airflow. Highest flows were achieved by anterior positioning of laryngoscope combined with anterolateral attachment of cannula (> 1 L/s) compared to downward or either side (< 0.6 L/s).
Conclusion: Significant differences in tracheal airflow arise from different positions of both laryngoscope and jet cannula with supraglottic HPSV. Optimal locations for both are apparent and collaborative interaction with anaesthetist emphasised. The experimental setup could be a potential simulation tool.

Introduction: Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is gaining momentum as a useful mechanism for analyzing obstructive disorders and surgeries in humans and warrants further development for application in equine surgery. While advancements in procedures continue, much remains unknown about the specific impact that different surgeries have on obstructive airway disorders. The objective of this study was to apply CFD analysis to an equine head inhalation model replicating recurrent laryngeal neuropathy (RLN) and four surgical procedures.

Introduction: Malignant central airway obstruction (MCAO) is a challenging therapeutic scenario, caused by tumour burden which limits airflow within the large airways. Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the lung accounts for 50% of MCAO seen in the setting of non-small cell lung cancer. Here, we present the challenging case of a 63-year-old Indigenous Australian Female rom a remote rural community with background history of metastatic SCC of presumed pulmonary origin, who presented with a 1-week history of dyspnoea, stridor, and hoarse voice.

Background: One of the main causes of death in the world is chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with partially reversible airflow limitation, which is defined as a preventable and treatable pathological condition. Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of camel milk (CM) were indicated previously. The effect of CM in cigarette smoke induced-COPD in rats was evaluated in this study.

Purpose: Cardiovascular disorders are the leading cause of mortality worldwide with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) as the independent risk factor. Heart sounds are strong modalities to obtain clinically relevant information regarding the functioning of the heart valves and blood flow. The objective of this study was to use a small wearable device to record and investigate the changes in heart sounds during respiratory events (reduction and cessation of breathings) and their association with oxyhemoglobin desaturation (hypoxemia).

Article Synopsis
- Sevoflurane inhalation in mice causes distinct changes in breathing patterns, including increased inspiratory effort and reduced respiratory frequency during gasping compared to regular breathing (eupnea).
- Measurements of muscle activity (EMG) show that during gasping, the increase in integrated EMG activity is significantly higher than the tidal volume, indicating more effort is put into gasping.
- Mandibular movements were not seen during normal breathing but were present in most mice during gasping, suggesting that suprahyoid muscles play a key role in facilitating these respiratory movements during hypoxic conditions.
