Tracheal intubation, usually simply referred to as intubation, is the placement of a flexible plastic tube into the trachea (windpipe) to maintain an open airway or to serve as a conduit through which to administer certain drugs.
Non-small cell lung cancer (Nsclc) treatment options include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. Get detailed information about newly diagnosed and recurrent Nsclc in this summary for clinicians.
The trachea extends from the larynx and branches into the two primary bronchi. At the top of the trachea, the cricoid cartilage attaches it to the larynx.
Among modern animals, birds possess the most air sacs (9–11), with their extinct dinosaurian relatives showing a great increase[ clarification needed] in the pneumatization (presence of air) in their bones. [1 ] Birds use air sacs for…
We have identified a distinct subtype of airway vagal afferent nerve that plays an essential role in regulating the cough reflex. These afferents are exquisitely sensitive to punctate mechanical stimuli, acid, and decreases in extracellular…
Epidemiological studies have shown that ambient air pollution is closely associated with increased respiratory inflammation and decreased lung function. Particulate matters (PMs) are major components of air pollution that damages lung cells…
Both patients require trachea-bronchoscopy with sedation and local anesthesia for extraction, and a treatment of the local infection with antibiotics, mucolytic, lavage with saline, aspiration, and new tracheal tubes.
Influenza virus causes seasonal outbreaks in temperate regions, with an increase in disease and mortality in the winter months. Dry air combined with cold temperature is known to enable viral transmission.
Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) is a member of the family Coronaviridae, together with viruses such as SARS‐CoV, MERS‐CoV and SARS‐CoV‐2 (the causative agent of the Covid‐19 global pandemic).
