Authors: Mengyun Zhao, M.D. et al Anesthesiology December 2024, Vol. 141, 1139–1140. Giant fetal neck masses are congenital anomalies that pose significant perinatal risks, including mortality, hypoxia, and anoxic brain damage due to difficulties in promptly establishing neonatal airway. The ex utero intrapartum treatment (EXIT) procedure enables airway management while maintaining utero-placental circulation after partial delivery of the fetus via cesarean […]

PMID: 39163860. Microbial resistance to antibiotics is an ever-present challenge in the management of infections and has traditionally been addressed by the reiterative synthesis of novel synthetic antibiotics. Antimicrobial peptide antibiotics are produced […]

Background Cardiogenic shock (CS) presents a medical challenge with limited treatment options. Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) during mechanical ventilation has been linked with clinical benefits in patients with CS. This study investigated whether increasing PEEP levels could unload the left ventricle (LV) in […]

Background Mechanical power is a summary variable quantifying the risk of ventilator-induced lung injury. The original mechanical power equation was developed using square flow ventilation. However, most children are ventilated using decelerating flow. It is unclear whether mechanical power differs according to mode […]
