Rationale: Tracheomalacia, typically seen in relapsing polychondritis,[1] is rarely reported in association with congenital heart disease (CHD). In patients with pulmonary hypoperfusion-type CHD, surgical repair results in a rapid increase in pulmonary blood flow, predisposing them to mucus retention, airway obstruction, and respiratory distress. We describe acute airway collapse in a patient with double outlet right ventricle and congenital bronchial stenosis following cardiac repair.

Recent Findings: Refractory hepatic hydrothorax is an independent predictor of mortality in patients with decompensated cirrhosis. Allocation of Model for End-Stage Liver Disease exception points for patients with refractory hydrothorax was found to be associated with a significant reduction in post liver transplant mortality.

Introduction: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains a major cause of mortality in the UK, with survival rates remaining low despite advancements in resuscitation techniques. The European Resuscitation Council and Resuscitation Council UK guidelines recommend controlled ventilation during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), yet studies show that ambulance clinicians often fail to meet these standards. In particular, hyperventilation has been linked to worse outcomes.

Objectives: Sudden cardiac arrest is a significant cause of cardiovascular death. Basic life support (BLS) practitioners need training to provide effective, quality interventions. This study investigates the effectiveness of curriculum-based BLS training and measures the students' performance levels before and after training and their skill retention over time.
