Randomized Controlled Trial
Nonintubated spontaneous ventilation versus intubated mechanical ventilation anesthesia for video-assisted thoracic surgery in terms of perioperative complications and practitioners' workload assessments: a pilot randomized control study.
The use of nonintubated video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (NI-VATS) has been increasingly reported to yield favourable outcomes. However, this technology has not been routinely used because its advantages and safety have not been fully confirmed. The aim of this study was to assess the safety and feasibility of nonintubated spontaneous ventilation (NI-SV) anesthesia compared to intubated mechanical ventilation (I-MV) anesthesia in VATS by evaluating of perioperative complications and practitioners' workloads. ⋯ The NI-SV anesthesia was feasible for VATS in the selected patients, with a greater incidence of intraoperative airway intervention events than I-MV anesthesia, and with more surgical effort required by anesthesiologists.

Many patients who are admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) have needs which rapidly resolve and are discharged alive within 24 h. We sought to characterize the outcomes of critically ill trauma victims at our institution with a short stay in the ICU. ⋯ We found that 17% of patients who were intubated in the prehospital setting or emergency department and subsequently hospitalized were discharged alive from the ICU within 24 h.

ReviewNoninvasive respiratory support preventing reintubation after pediatric cardiac surgery-A systematic review.
To analyze the optimal postextubation respiratory support in pediatric cardiac surgery patients. ⋯ We did not find clear evidence of a difference in reintubation rates and other clinical outcomes between different noninvasive ventilation strategies. Evidence certainty was assessed to be very low due to the risk of bias, the small number of included studies, and high imprecision. Future quality studies are needed to determine the optimal postextubation support in pediatric cardiac surgery patients.

Noninvasive Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist in Infants With Bronchiolitis: Respiratory Outcomes in a Single-Center, Retrospective Cohort, 2016-2018.
To describe our experience of using noninvasive neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NIV-NAVA) in infants with bronchiolitis, its association with the evolution of respiratory effort, and PICU outcomes. ⋯ In this single-center retrospective cohort, in infants with bronchiolitis who were considered to have failed first-tier noninvasive respiratory support, the use of NIV-NAVA was associated with a rapid decrease in respiratory effort and a 9% intubation rate.
