Impact of Trendelenburg (head down) and reverse Trendelenburg (head up) position on respiratory and cardiovascular function in anaesthetized horses.
To describe the cardiorespiratory effects of a change in table position in anaesthetized horses. ⋯ Gas exchange is better preserved in HU compared to HD, especially if applied from the start of the anaesthesia.

Randomized Controlled TrialApnoeic oxygenation via high-flow nasal cannula oxygen combined with non-invasive ventilation preoxygenation for intubation in hypoxaemic patients in the intensive care unit: the single-centre, blinded, randomised controlled OPTINIV trial.
High-flow nasal cannula oxygen (HFNC) has the potential to provide apnoeic oxygenation. We decided to assess in a proof-of-concept study whether the addition of HFNC to non-invasive ventilation (NIV) could reduce oxygen desaturation during intubation, compared with NIV alone for preoxygenation, in severely hypoxaemic intensive care unit (ICU) patients with respiratory failure. ⋯ A novel strategy for preoxygenation in hypoxaemic patients, adding HFNC for apnoeic oxygenation to NIV prior to orotracheal intubation, may be more effective in reducing the severity of oxygen desaturation than the reference method using NIV alone.

Automated control of inspired oxygen in ventilated preterm infants: crossover physiological study.
To evaluate the efficacy of automated control of the fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2 ) in comparison with manual FiO2 control in maintaining target pulse oxygen saturation (SpO2 ) range. ⋯ Automated control of FiO2 significantly improved compliance of oxygen saturation targeting and significantly reduced exposure to hypoxaemia as well as hyperoxaemia.
