Article Abstract
Background: We assessed the effect of a closed-loop oxygen control system in pediatric patients receiving high-flow nasal oxygen therapy (HFNO).
Methods: A multicentre, single-blinded, randomized, and cross-over study. Patients aged between 1 month and 18 years of age receiving HFNO for acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) were randomly assigned to start with a 2-h period of closed-loop oxygen control or a 2-h period of manual oxygen titrations, after which the patient switched to the alternative therapy. The endpoints were the percentage of time spent in predefined SpO ranges (primary), FiO, SpO/FiO, and the number of manual adjustments.
Findings: We included 23 patients, aged a median of 18 (3-26) months. Patients spent more time in a predefined optimal SpO range when the closed-loop oxygen controller was activated compared to manual oxygen titrations [91⋅3% (IQR 78⋅4-95⋅1%) vs. 63⋅0% (IQR 44⋅4-70⋅7%)], mean difference [28⋅2% (95%-CI 20⋅6-37⋅8%); < 0.001]. Median FiO was lower [33⋅3% (IQR 26⋅6-44⋅6%) vs. 42⋅6% (IQR 33⋅6-49⋅9%); = 0.07], but median SpO/FiO was higher [289 (IQR 207-348) vs. 194 (IQR 98-317); = 0.023] with closed-loop oxygen control. The median number of manual adjustments was lower with closed-loop oxygen control [0⋅0 (IQR 0⋅0-0⋅0) vs. 0⋅5 (IQR 0⋅0-1⋅0); < 0.001].
Conclusion: Closed-loop oxygen control improves oxygenation therapy in pediatric patients receiving HFNO for AHRF and potentially leads to more efficient oxygen use. It reduces the number of manual adjustments, which may translate into decreased workloads of healthcare providers.

Myocarditis is a life-threatening inflammatory disorder that affects the cardiac muscle tissue. Current treatments merely regulate heart function but fail to tackle the root cause of inflammation. In myocarditis, the initial wave of inflammation is characterized by the presence of neutrophils.

Introduction: Emergency medicine simulation is an effective training modality in both high and low resource settings. We describe the authors' experiences conducting a four-week interdisciplinary, , simulation training series at an emergency centre in Burundi.
Methods: Training emphasized effective closed loop communication, early airway, breathing, and circulation assessment, as well as time to vital signs, IV placement, and oxygen administration when appropriate.
Introduction Episodes of apnoea are common in extremely preterm infants and usually treated with caffeine and respiratory support. Understanding differences in apnoea definitions, monitoring practices, and use of respiratory stimulants is essential to improve future treatment. Methods Between March and July 2024, one lead consultant at European tertiary neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) was invited to complete to a web-based survey on respiratory practices in extremely preterm infants.

Managing inflammation in diabetic chronic wounds remains a major clinical challenge, primarily due to the lack of real-time monitoring techniques. To address this issue, we developed a peptide hydrogel capable of simultaneously monitoring the inflammation status and promoting healing. The hydrogel was formed by coassembling polyglutamic acid with polylysine that was premodified with coumarin 7 (an ACQ fluorophore) and tetraphenylethene (an AIE fluorophore).

This study employed a simulation approach to model oxygen delivery in spontaneously breathing patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The Morozoff Model, originally designed for mechanically ventilated patients with a fixed fraction of inspired oxygen (FIO2), was adapted to incorporate the relationship between oxygen flow delivered through nasal cannula and FIO2, along with COPD-specific pathophysiological parameters. The effectiveness of constant and variable oxygen flow delivery was evaluated using a closed-loop control system with a Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller.
