COVID-19 has elapsed all over the world with massive losses which indicate the lack of availability of medical equipment during the pandemic such as a ventilator. This is exemplified by the densely populated country Bangladesh who unable to maintain COVID-affected people because of the ventilator. Due to the higher price, unavailability, and manufacturing defection, most medical are unable to purchase this ventilator which causes terrible death for a respiratory problem. Of these cases, this paper represents a way to escape this problem and proposed a mechanical ventilator named "NISHASH" which will help to anticipate COVID affected people and higher price of the ventilator. Through the electromechanical instruments, a prototype lightweight easily moveable where preciously it automatically controls with digital feedback system ventilator which fulfills oxygen flow based on patient requirement are developed with different selection mode. The aim was to design and develop inexpensively automated easy to build to minimize the extreme shortage of the ventilator in Bangladesh. In this model of a mechanical ventilator, the cost is less than $90 where components are available all over the world.

Background: Fibrinopurulent thorax is a rare condition that can lead to respiratory failure. Fibroblastic decortication surgery has been shown to be an effective treatment for chronic empyema in previous studies. However, there is limited evidence supporting surgical intervention for fibrinopurulent thorax in cases of respiratory failure.

We report a 75-year-old female with a history of two heart operations: aortic valve replacement (St. Jude Medical 21 mm) at the age of 44 years for severe rheumatic aortic stenosis and mitral valve replacement (Carbomedics 29 mm) at the age of 51 years for rheumatic mitral regurgitation. Decades later, she presented with exertional dyspnea.

Background: Prolonged dependence on mechanical ventilation is a common occurrence in clinical ICU patients and presents significant challenges for patient care and resource allocation. Predicting prolonged dependence on mechanical ventilation is crucial for improving patient outcomes, preventing ventilator-associated complications, and guiding targeted clinical interventions. However, specific tools for predicting prolonged mechanical ventilation among ICU patients, particularly those with critical orthopaedic trauma, are currently lacking.

Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) in the head and neck present significant challenges due to airway management complexities and hemorrhage risks. This case report describes a 15-year-old female with a congenital facial AVM causing dyspnea and obstructive symptoms. The patient required angioembolization of the AVM, but many hospitals deferred the procedure due to the anticipated difficult airway and severe bleeding risks.
