This study investigates volatile organic compound (VOC) profiles in the exhaled breath of normal subjects under different oxygenation conditions-normoxia (FiO2 21%), hypoxia (FiO2 11%), and hyperoxia (FiO2 35%)-using an electronic nose (e-nose). We aim to identify significant differences in VOC profiles among the three conditions utilizing principal component analysis (PCA) and canonical discriminant analysis (CDA). Our results indicate distinct VOC patterns corresponding to each oxygenation state, demonstrating the potential of e-nose technology in detecting physiological changes in breath composition (cross-validated accuracy values: FiO2 21% vs. FiO2 11% = 63%, FiO2 11% vs. FiO2 35% = 65%, FiO2 21% vs. FiO2 35% = 71%, and < 0.05 for all). This research underscores the viability of breathomics in the non-invasive monitoring and diagnostics of various respiratory and systemic conditions.

Objectives: To identify factors associated with death, requirement for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), or cardiac intervention in neonates referred for higher level neonatal ICU (NICU) due to respiratory failure.
Design: Retrospective cohort study, 2018-2020.
Setting: Referrals for transport to tertiary-level NICUs using the London Neonatal Transfer Service in the United Kingdom.

Background: Guidelines recommend prophylactic chest tube placement in patients with traumatic pneumothorax who require positive pressure ventilation to prevent tension pneumothorax. However, chest tube insertion is not without complications, and avoiding it when safely possible is desirable.
Case Presentation: A man in his 50 s with a left clavicle fracture and mild left-sided occult pneumothorax on computed tomography was scheduled for surgery under general anesthesia.

Purpose: This study investigated whether intermittent hypoxic exposure following resistance exercise mitigates acute vascular dysfunction. The main objective was to assess the effects of post-exercise hypoxia on flow-mediated dilation (FMD), blood pressure, and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) in untrained males.
Methods: Thirteen untrained male university students (age: 20.

Background: Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist (NAVA) compared to Pressure Support Ventilation (PSV) improves patient-ventilator interactions in intensive care unit. No study has evaluated NAVA in patients with obesity. We aimed to assess the feasibility and safety of NAVA in patients with obesity, and to compare NAVA in patients with versus without obesity.

Background: Effects of different inspiratory times during synchronized NIPPV on oxygen saturation targeting, intermittent SpO-fluctuations and cerebral tissue oxygen saturation (SctO) are unknown.
Objective: To assess effects of different inspiratory times during NIPPV on SpO and SctO parameters in very low birth weight infants with frequent fluctuations in SpO.
Study Design: Twenty-four infants (gestational age: 25 [22-28] weeks; postnatal age: 27 [12-85] days) were randomly exposed in a cross-over-design to NIPPV with prolonged (NIPPV; 0.
