Mechanical ventilation remains the main medical treatment for acute respiratory failure and is one of the defining interventions of intensive care medicine as a specialty. Some patients continue to fail in the extubation process against all odds. This study investigates the contribution of cardiorespiratory phase synchronization (CRPS) analysis as a function of a threshold value and window length, to classify patients in the mechanical ventilation weaning process. Patients were classified according to the outcome of the trial, successful (S), failed (F), and reintubated (R). Parameters related to synchronization periods between heartbeats and respiratory cycles, based on thresholds and window length, were analyzed. The most pronounced differences were obtained with a threshold of 0.2. Group F showed the maximum value for most CRPS parameters, whereas group S showed the minimum value. The average values of all the maximum synchronization functions above the threshold were significantly higher in group R compared to group S. These results could help us to understand why there are patients who need to be reintubated when the clinical process considers extubation to be possible.

The electrolarynx facilitates communication for tracheostomized mechanically ventilated patients. However, its effectiveness is often constrained by patient weakness. A hands-free electrolarynx offers a potential solution, enabling speech without the need to hold the device.

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics hold implications for neurological health. Despite its importance, accurate quantification of the CSF secretion rate remains a challenge due to methodological controversies and the influence of anesthesia. A novel technique is established to determine CSF dynamics in awake and freely moving rats, and the CSF secretion is quantified with three different methodologies.

Introduction: Newborn resuscitation is commonly performed in the presence of face mask leak. Leak is highly variable, pressure-dependent and often unrecognized. The effectiveness of resuscitation devices to deliver adequate inflations in the presence of leak is unknown.

Difficult airway management in oromaxillofacial tumor surgery poses significant challenges for anesthesiologists. We present two case reports of patients with mandibular malignant tumors and maxillary osteosarcoma who underwent surgery under general anesthesia. Preoperative assessment revealed a mass involving the right mandible, completely covering the inside of the mouth and invading the floor of the mouth in the first case, and a mass in the left maxilla extending to the zygomatic arch and orbital floor in the second case.

Baclofen is a GABA receptor agonist used clinically to manage spasticity. It has also been associated with increased duration of mechanical ventilation and rates of aspiration pneumonitis. We hypothesized that baclofen would impair pharyngeal swallow, a vital airway protective reflex.
