OBJECTIVES: The optimal method for epinephrine administration during neonatal resuscitation is not known. We hypothesized that epinephrine will be delivered more efficiently when administered via a ...
Modified endotracheal tubes designed to reduce patient pneumonia risk failed to improve outcomes compared to standard breathing tubes, researchers report in a new study. Results of the randomized ...
Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a major nosocomial infection that results in significant morbidity, mortality, and health care costs. Most strategies to reduce VAP attempt to decrease rates ...
In a proof-of-concept study, researchers have created a coating that can be applied to endotracheal tubes and release antimicrobial peptides that target infectious bacteria with specificity. The ...
In a proof-of-concept study, researchers at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) have created a coating that can be applied to endotracheal tubes and release antimicrobial peptides that target ...
Among intensive care unit patients who require mechanical ventilation, use of a silver-coated endotracheal tube resulted in reduced incidence of pneumonia associated with ventilators, according to a ...
A silver-coated endotracheal tube may reduce infections with highly resistant bacteria over traditional tubes by nearly half, according to the results of a large randomized trial. A silver-coated ...
