Article Abstract
Unlabelled: Oxygen is a neonatal health hazard that should be avoided in clinical practice. In this review, an international team of neonatologists and nurses assessed oxygen saturation (SpO2 ) targeting in preterm infants and evaluated the potential weaknesses of randomised clinical trials.
Conclusion: SpO2 of 85-89% can increase mortality and 91-95% can cause hyperoxia and ill effects. Neither of these ranges can be recommended, and wider intermediate targets, such as 87-94% or 88-94%, may be safer.

Pleural Effusion Formation Linked to Altered Transporter Expression Involved in Alveolar Fluid Clearance: Insights From the Monocrotaline Model of Pulmonary Hypertension.

Pleural effusions (PLEF) in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), particularly in patients with isolated right heart failure, are associated with poor prognosis and increased mortality. This study investigates changes in alveolar fluid clearance (AFC) transporter expression in relation to lung fluid accumulation and PLEF formation during PAH progression, as well as the effects of terbutaline (TER) and riociguat (RIO) treatment. Using a monocrotaline (MCT)-induced pulmonary hypertension (PH) rat model, we performed a detailed molecular analysis of AFC transporter expression at different disease stages, both before and after PH development.

Objective: To determine the use of Air-Test in ventilated, anaesthetized dogs for evaluating oxygen uptake and to determine its potential utility in guiding the decision to perform an alveolar recruitment manoeuvre (ARM).
Study Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Animals: A total of 25 client-owned dogs undergoing general anaesthesia.
Management of tracheostomal hemorrhage complicated by obstructing clot in a post-laryngectomy patient presenting to a rural emergency department.

Total laryngectomy (TLE) results in the permanent separation of the respiratory and digestive tracts, requiring all airway interventions to occur exclusively via a neck stoma. Although airway obstruction in post-laryngectomy patients is uncommon, it can rapidly become fatal without prompt recognition and understanding of the altered anatomy. Here, we report the case of a patient with a recent TLE for squamous cell carcinoma, who presented to a rural Emergency Department (ED) in acute respiratory distress.

Methods: This study evaluated the effect of distraction methods on procedure-related pain, fear, and anxiety during the intramuscular injection in children aged 5 to 12 years in the pediatric emergency department.
Regional venous-to-arterial carbon dioxide pressure and content differences during endotoxemic shock: influence of hydrogen ion accumulation vs. Haldane effect.

Critical Care Division, Integrated Hospital Care Institute, Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
Background: The relationship between carbon dioxide pressures (PCO) and contents (CCO) is linked to the Haldane effect. Nevertheless, under shock conditions, hydrogen ion accumulation might strongly influence the discrepancies between PCO and CCO. This study aims to evaluate the impact of hydrogen ion accumulation and hemoglobin oxygen saturation (Haldane effect) on PCO:CCO relationships during induction and resuscitation of endotoxemic shock.
