Methylene blue is more widely available and less expensive than patent blue, with an apparently lower risk of anaphylaxis. ⋯ Methylene blue performed as well as patent blue in identifying the SLN in breast cancer patients.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyRandomized controlled trial comparing nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation and nasal continuous positive airway pressure in premature infants after tracheal extubation.
To analyze the frequency of extubation failure in premature infants using conventional mechanical ventilation (MV) after extubation in groups subjected to nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (nIPPV) and continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP). ⋯ We found that, despite the extubation failure of the group of premature infants submitted to nIPPV being numerically smaller than in premature infants submitted to nCPAP, there was no statistically significant difference between the two modes of ventilatory support after extubation.
