Neuromodulation Techniques for Chronic Pain Management: Efficacy and Insights

Originally Published hereIn recent years, there has been a growing interest in the use of neuromodulation as an alternative treatment option for chronic pain. Neuromodulation techniques, such as spinal cord stimulation (SCS), dorsal root ganglion (DRG) stimulation, deep brain stimulation (DBS), and peripheral nerve stimulation, have shown promising results in the management of various chronic…

Improving Ventilation in Anesthetized Pigs: Impact of Adding a Second APL Valve on Breathing Effectiveness

Originally Published hereSpontaneous breathing of pigs during general anaesthesia may not be very effective. This may be related to the chest wall elastance and marked tendency of the lung to collapse in young pigs (Liu et al 1999). Resistance of the breathing system may also contribute to poor ventilation by increasing the work of breathing….

Variable positive end-expiratory pressure in an experimental model of acute respiratory distress syndrome: an advanced ventilation modality

Originally Published hereIntroducing variability in tidal volume, ventilatory frequency, or both is beneficial during mechanical ventilation in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). We investigated whether applying cycle-by-cycle variability in the positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) exerts beneficial effect on lung function in a model of ARDS.

Correlation of Cardiac Output and Aortic Blood Flow Measurement Techniques in Cats

Originally Published hereTo characterize the correlation, agreement and concordance of cardiac output (CO) measured with transthoracic ultrasound and the correlation and concordance of aortic blood flow (ABF) minute distance (MD) measured by transesophageal Doppler with CO measured by pulmonary artery thermodilution (PATD) in cats.
