Evaluation of the McGrath® Series 5 videolaryngoscope after failed direct laryngoscopy*
2010
Summary Unanticipated difficulties during tracheal intubation and failure to intubate are among the leading causes of anaesthesia-related morbidity and mortality. Using the technique of video laryngoscopy, the alignment of the oral and pharyngeal axes to facilitate tracheal intubation is unnecessary. In this study we evaluated the McGrath® Series 5 videolaryngoscope for tracheal intubation in 61 patients who exhibited Cormack and Lehane grade 3 or 4 laryngoscopies with a Macintosh laryngoscope. Using the McGrath resulted in an improved glottic view, compared to Macintosh laryngoscope. Laryngoscopy was improved by one grade in 10%, by two grades in 80% and by three grades in 10% of cases (p …
Flamingo studies: a general introduction.
2017
28 pages; International audience; Flamingos are among the most amazing birds in the world. The first part of this chapter provides a general introduction to the various extant species of flamingos, including their physical descriptions, unique characteristics, numbers in the wild, and geographical distributions. The second part depicts a brief history of the discovery and scientific study of flamingos, from the earlier accounts dating from the 16th century to the development of the first long-term studies of banded populations in the second half of the 20th century. The third and final part of this chapter offers some perspectives for future research.
Social innovation in a post-conflict setting : examining external factors affecting social service NGOs
2021
While the study of the influence of external environmental factors on non-governmental organizations (NGOs) is well explored in the international development literature, the importance of these factors on NGOs’ transformative roles in a post-conflict development setting remains less understood. Nevertheless, external environmental factors could have a crucial impact on NGOs in such a context, especially when NGOs want to integrate a socially innovative approach into the social services they provide. Using survey data of staff members of social service NGOs from post-conflict Bosnia and Herzegovina (N = 120) and applying resource dependence theory, this study identifies three environmental f…
Grūtas videolaringoskopiskās trahejas intubācijas paredzēšana, izmantojot El-Ganzouri riska indeksu
2018
Grūta trahejas intubācija ir aktuāla problēma. Grūtas intubācijas riska indeksi ļauj prognozēt grūtu balsenes vizualizāciju un grūtu trahejas intubāciju. Šo indeksu lietderība, lai paredzētu grūtu videolaringoskopisku vizualizāciju vai intubāciju, ir maz pētīta. Darba mērķis ir izpētīt El-Ganzouri riska indeksa spēju prognozēt balsenes vizualizācijas pakāpi videolaringoskopijas laikā un neveiksmīgu pirmā mēģinājuma videolaringoskopisku intubāciju. Ar El-Ganzouri riska indeksu pirms operācijas izmeklēti 73 pacienti, pēc ievadanestēzijas veikta videolaringoskopija, aprakstīta balsenes vizualizācija un intubācijas mēģinājumu skaits. El-Ganzouri riska indeksam ir augsta sensitivitāte un vidējai…
Actividad antifúngica y antitoxigénica in vitro y en alimentos de bacterias ácido lácticas
2020
El desarrollo de hongos en materias primas, alimentos y piensos puede ser responsable de pérdidas económicas considerables por disminuir la calidad y reducir la vida media de todos ellos. Además, algunos hongos pueden producir compuestos potencialmente tóxicos, lo que supone un problema de seguridad alimentaria para los consumidores. La bioconservación es un concepto que se refiere al empleo de microorganismos o sus productos metabólicos en los alimentos, para inhibir el crecimiento o destruir microorganismos no deseados, con el objetivo de mejorar la seguridad, conservar la calidad y extender la vida útil de los productos alimenticios. La presente Tesis Doctoral tiene por objeto el estudio…
