Endrotracheal intubation is critical for some experimental studies in mice, but the animals' small size makes the procedure difficult. The authors describe a new, easily learned retrograde intubation ...
Successful intubation of the trachea can save lives. However, complications often arise because the procedure is challenging and requires a great deal of experience. aiEndoscopic, a spin-off from ETH ...
Intubation is a standard procedure that involves passing a tube into a person’s airway. Doctors often perform it before surgery or in emergencies to give medication or help a person breathe. Most ...

Positive-pressure isolation rooms are used to reduce the risk of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis in immunocompromised patients, but their use is not suitable for patients with Covid-19 owing to the ...
In-home noninvasive positive pressure ventilation via bilevel positive airway pressure devices exhibited lower risk of mortality, fewer patients with all-cause hospital admission, and less need for ...
