Transporting spontaneously ventilating adults with tracheostomies from the operating room (OR) or other anesthetizing locations to the intensive care unit (ICU) or other recovery locations presents significant challenges, as traditional T-pieces may not be readily available. This article describes a novel modification to the Ayre's T-piece, designed to address this gap by using readily available equipment. The modification integrates a 3-mL syringe, a size 7.0 endotracheal tube (ETT) connector, and oxygen tubing from an adult under-the-chin style facemask while adapting the expiratory and inspiratory limbs of the anesthesia circuit.

Objective: This preliminary pilot study aims to explore the use of the Feeding Practices and Structure Questionnaire (FPSQ) and Children's Eating Behaviour Question (CEBQ) in a sample of Vietnamese mothers.
Subjects/methods: Cross-sectional data from the FPSQ and CEBQ were collected from a convenience sample of mothers (n = 102) who attended the Ho Chi Minh City Nutrition Centre in Viet Nam. Mothers had at least one child aged 2-5 years.

Objective: To compare ketamine-midazolam (KMZ) and ketamine-medetomidine (KMT) anaesthesia in rabbits using anaesthetic induction, maintenance and recovery data.
Study Design: Randomized, prospective, blinded clinical trial.
Animals: Fifty rabbits (25 male, 25 female) of different breeds undergoing ovariohysterectomy or castration.
The oxygen concentrator is a suitable alternative to oxygen cylinders in Nepal.

Department of Anaesthesia, Bir Hospital, Kathmandu, Nepal.
Purpose: To review the efficacy and reliability of oxygen concentrators used over the last six years in Nepal. The apparatus used was a DeVilbiss(R) oxygen concentrator that provided O(2) for anesthesia supplemented with compressed air to drive a Penlon Manley Multivent Ventilator(R). It remains difficult to supply oxygen in cylinders to peripheral hospitals in Nepal due to lack of proper roads.

Department of Anaesthesia, The Hospital for Sick Children and University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Unlabelled: To determine whether pediatric anesthesiologists can reliably detect occluded tracheal tubes, 18 pediatric anesthesiologists who were blindfolded and fitted with earplugs manually ventilated the lungs of 16 neonates. Consent was obtained from the parents of the neonates. All auditory signals from the monitors were silenced.
