Background: Large tidal volumes during de novo acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) may promote patient self-inflicted lung injury. Tidal volume assessment under high flow nasal cannula (HFNC) is not routinely feasible at the bedside. Our objective was to determine whether tidal volume during low-level continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) could predict tidal volume during HFNC and to compare the physiological effects of HFNC and low-level CPAP.

Objective: Comprehensive endovascular aortic programmes need optimal infrastructure and multidisciplinary teams to manage complex aortic aneurysms. This study assessed the implementation of such a programme in two centres and its impact on fenestrated or branched endovascular aortic repair (FB-EVAR) outcomes.

Methods: A retrospective review of patients treated for complex abdominal and thoraco-abdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAAs) by FB-EVAR between 2013 and 2023 was undertaken.

Article Synopsis
  • EMS clinicians handle traumatic pneumothoraxes, including simple ones that are less severe and tension pneumothoraxes that can lead to serious complications like shock.
  • The most common treatment for tension pneumothorax in EMS is needle thoracostomy, but its frequent misapplication and low success rates have raised concerns about its effectiveness.
  • The National Association of EMS Physicians conducted a literature review to create evidence-based recommendations for managing traumatic pneumothoraxes, addressing the need for proper decompression techniques and clarifying procedures for open pneumothoraxes.
