Transnasal Humidified Rapid Insufflation Ventilatory Exchange With Nasopharyngeal Airway Facilitates Apneic Oxygenation: A Randomized Clinical Noninferiority Trial.
Background: Transnasal humidified rapid insufflation ventilatory exchange (THRIVE) was used to extend the safe apnea time. However, THRIVE is only effective in patients with airway opening. Nasopharyngeal airway (NPA) is a simple device that can help to keep airway opening. ⋯ No patient had a SpO2 < 90% during apnea. Conclusion: When THRIVE was applied during anesthesia-induced apnea, NPA placement kept airway opening and was noninferior to jaw thrust in terms of its effects on PaO2 and PaCO2 at 20 min after apnea. Clinical Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03741998).

Effect of a Multimodal Movement Intervention in Patients With Neurogenic Claudication Based on Lumbar Spinal Stenosis and/or Degenerative Spondylolisthesis-A Pilot Study.
Chronic low-back pain is a major individual, social, and economic burden. The impairment ranges from deterioration of gait, limited mobility, to psychosocial distress. Due to this complexity, the demand for multimodal treatments is huge. ⋯ For the subsequent study, further kinematic and cognitive parameters should be analyzed, and the number of participants has to be increased. Clinical Trial Registration: German Clinical Trial Register (ID: DRKS00021026/URL: https://www.drks.de/drks_web/navigate.do?navigationId=trial. HTML&TRIAL_ID=DRKS00021026).
