Abstract
Gastroenterology nurses working across a variety of clinical settings are responsible for periprocedural monitoring during moderate to deep procedural sedation and analgesia (PSA) to identify signs of respiratory compromise and intervene to prevent cardiorespiratory events. Pulse oximetry is the standard of care for respiratory monitoring, but it may delay or fail to detect abnormal ventilation during PSA. Continuous capnography, which measures end-tidal CO2 as a marker of alveolar ventilation, has been endorsed by a number of clinical guidelines. Large clinical trials have demonstrated that the addition of continuous capnography to pulse oximetry during PSA for various gastroenterological procedures reduces the incidence of hypoxemia, severe hypoxemia, and apnea. Studies have shown that the cost of adding continuous capnography is offset by the reduction in adverse events and hospital length of stay. In the postanesthesia care unit, continuous capnography is being evaluated for monitoring opioid-induced respiratory depression and to guide artificial airway removal. Studies are also examining the utility of continuous capnography to predict the risk of opioid-induced respiratory depression among patients receiving opioids for primary analgesia. Continuous capnography monitoring has become an essential tool to detect early signs of respiratory compromise in patients receiving PSA during gastroenterological procedures. When combined with pulse oximetry, it can help reduce cardiorespiratory adverse events, improve patient outcomes and safety, and reduce health care costs.

Role of continuous pulse oximetry and capnography monitoring in the prevention of postoperative respiratory failure, postoperative opioid-induced respiratory depression and adverse outcomes on hospital wards: A systematic review and meta-analysis. J Clin Anesth 2024; 94:111374. [PMID: 38184918 DOI: 10.1016/j.jclinane.2024.111374] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2023] [Revised: 12/23/2023] [Accepted: 01/02/2024] [Indexed: 01/09/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The current standards of postoperative respiratory monitoring on medical-surgical floors involve spot-pulse oximetry checks every 4-8 h, which can miss the opportunity to detect prolonged hypoxia and acute hypercapnia. Continuous respiratory monitoring can recognize acute respiratory depression episodes; however, the existing evidence is limited. We sought to review the current evidence on the effectiveness of continuous pulse oximetry (CPOX) with and without capnography versus routine monitoring and their effectiveness for detecting postoperative respiratory failure, opioid-induced respiratory depression, and preventing downstream adverse events. METHODS We performed a systematic literature search on Ovid Medline, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases for articles published between 1990 and April 2023. The study protocol was registered in Prospero (ID: 439467), and PRISMA guidelines were followed. The NIH quality assessment tool was used to assess the quality of the studies. Pooled analysis was conducted using the software R version 4.1.1 and the package meta. The stability of the results was assessed using sensitivity analysis. DESIGN Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. SETTING Postoperative recovery area. PATIENTS 56,538 patients, ASA class II to IV, non-invasive respiratory monitoring, and post-operative respiratory depression. INTERVENTIONS Continuous pulse oximetry with or without capnography versus routine monitoring. MEASUREMENTS Respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, adverse events, and rescue events. RESULTS 23 studies (17 examined CPOX without capnography and 5 examined CPOX with capnography) were included in this systematic review. CPOX was better at recognizing desaturation (SpO2 < 90%) OR: 11.94 (95% CI: 6.85, 20.82; p < 0.01) compared to standard monitoring. No significant differences were reported for ICU transfer, reintubation, and non-invasive ventilation between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS Oxygen desaturation was the only outcome better detected with CPOX in postoperative patients in hospital wards. These comparisons were limited by the small number of studies that could be pooled for each outcome and the heterogeneity between the studies.

Cardiopulmonary effects of apneustic anesthesia ventilation in anesthetized pigs: a new mode of ventilation for anesthetized veterinary species. Front Vet Sci 2024; 11:1378617. [PMID: 38855412 PMCID: PMC11157129 DOI: 10.3389/fvets.2024.1378617] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2024] [Accepted: 05/13/2024] [Indexed: 06/11/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective To compare the cardiopulmonary effects of apneustic anesthesia ventilation (AAV) and conventional mechanical ventilation (CMV) in anesthetized pigs and to describe a new mode of ventilation for anesthetized veterinary species. Study design Randomized, crossover design without washout. Animals Twelve healthy, female white Landrace pigs. Methods Following ketamine-midazolam premedication and anesthetic induction with propofol, the trachea was intubated, and each pig was positioned in dorsal recumbency. Anesthesia was maintained with propofol and sufentanil infusions. Pigs were instrumented and their lungs were sequentially ventilated with each mode, in random order, for 1 h according to predefined criteria [fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) = 0.21, 10 mL kg-1 tidal volume (VT), and arterial carbon dioxide tension (PaCO2) within 40-45 mmHg]. Cardiopulmonary data were collected at baseline, 30 and 60 min. In 8 pigs, thoracic computed tomography (CT) was performed following the 60 min time point for each mode of ventilation and images were analyzed to quantify lung aeration. The effects of ventilation mode, time, and order were analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA. Paired t-tests were used to compare lung aeration between modes. Significance was defined as p < 0.05. Results Data from 12 pigs were analyzed. A significant effect of mode was found for heart rate, mean arterial pressure (MAP), pulmonary artery occlusion pressure, cardiac index (CI), stroke volume index, systemic vascular resistance, pulmonary vascular resistance, oxygen delivery index (DO2I), oxygen extraction ratio (O2ER), VT, arterial oxygen tension, arterial hemoglobin saturation, PaCO2, end-tidal carbon dioxide tension, alveolar dead space (VDalv/VTalv), venous admixture (Q . s / Q . t ), mean airway pressure, and dynamic compliance index (CRSI). Order effects were also observed for some cardiovascular and respiratory variables. For the eight pigs that underwent thoracic CT, AAV resulted in significantly larger proportions of normally and hyperaerated lung while CMV resulted in larger proportions of hypoaerated and atelectatic lung. Conclusions In dorsally recumbent anesthetized pigs, ventilated with FiO2 = 0.21, both modes of ventilation supported adequate oxygenation while AAV resulted in higher CRSI, and lower VDalv/VTalv andQ . s / Q . t , compared with CMV. AAV was also associated with lower MAP, CI, and DO2I and higher O2ER compared with CMV. Further investigation of AAV in anesthetized animals is warranted.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Few clinical trials have investigated physiotherapy interventions to treat hypoxaemia following abdominal surgery. The objective of this study is to determine the feasibility and safety of conducting a clinical trial of physiotherapist-led non-invasive ventilation (NIV). METHODS AND ANALYSIS This single-centre, 50-patient, parallel-group, assessor blinded, pilot feasibility randomised controlled trial with concealed allocation will enrol spontaneously ventilating adults with hypoxaemia within 72 hours of major abdominal surgery. Participants will receive either (1) usual care physiotherapy of a single education session (talk), daily walking of 10-15 min (walk) and four sessions of coached deep breathing and coughing (breathe) or (2) usual care physiotherapy plus four 30 min sessions of physiotherapist-led NIV delivered over 2 postoperative days. Primary feasibility and safety outcome measures are; number of eligible patients recruited per week, total time of NIV treatment delivered, acceptability of treatments to patients and clinicians and incidence of adverse events. Secondary feasibility outcomes include measures of recruitment and treatment adherence. Exploratory outcome measures include change in respiratory parameters, postoperative pulmonary complications, length of hospital stay, health-related quality of life, postoperative activity levels and mortality. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Ethics approval has been obtained from the relevant institution. Results will be published to inform future research. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER ACTRN12622000839707.

Abstract
Flexible and wearable biosensors are the next-generation healthcare devices that can efficiently monitor human health conditions in day-to-day life. Moreover, the rapid growth and technological advancements in wearable optoelectronics have promoted the development of flexible organic photoplethysmography (PPG) biosensor systems that can be implanted directly onto the human body without any additional interface for efficient bio-signal monitoring. As an example, the pulse oximeter utilizes PPG signals to monitor the oxygen saturation (SpO2 ) in the blood volume using two distinct wavelengths with organic light emitting diode (OLED) as light source and an organic photodiode (OPD) as light sensor. Utilizing the flexible and soft properties of organic semiconductors, pulse oximeter can be both flexible and conformal when fabricated on thin polymeric substrates. It can also provide highly efficient human-machine interface systems that can allow for long-time biological integration and flawless measurement of signal data. In this work, a clear and systematic overview of the latest progress and updates in flexible and wearable all-organic pulse oximetry sensors for SpO2 monitoring, including design and geometry, processing techniques and materials, encapsulation and various factors affecting the device performance, and limitations are provided. Finally, some of the research challenges and future opportunities in the field are mentioned.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Supplemental oxygen (SO) potentiates opioid-induced respiratory depression (OIRD) in experiments on healthy volunteers. Our objective was to examine the relationship between SO and OIRD in patients on surgical units. METHODS This post-hoc analysis utilized a portion of the observational PRediction of Opioid-induced respiratory Depression In patients monitored by capnoGraphY (PRODIGY) trial dataset (202 patients, two trial sites), which involved blinded continuous pulse oximetry and capnography monitoring of postsurgical patients on surgical units. OIRD incidence was determined for patients receiving room air (RA), intermittent SO, or continuous SO. Generalized estimating equation (GEE) models, with a Poisson distribution, a log-link function and time of exposure as offset, were used to compare the incidence of OIRD when patients were receiving SO vs RA. RESULTS Within the analysis cohort, 74 patients were always on RA, 88 on intermittent and 40 on continuous SO. Compared with when on RA, when receiving SO patients had a higher risk for all OIRD episodes (incidence rate ratio [IRR] 2.7, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.4-5.1), apnea episodes (IRR 2.8, 95% CI 1.5-5.2), and bradypnea episodes (IRR 3.0, 95% CI 1.2-7.9). Patients with high or intermediate PRODIGY scores had higher IRRs of OIRD episodes when receiving SO, compared with RA (IRR 4.5, 95% CI 2.2-9.6 and IRR 2.3, 95% CI 1.1-4.9, for high and intermediate scores, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Despite oxygen desaturation events not differing between SO and RA, SO may clinically promote OIRD. Clinicians should be aware that postoperative patients receiving SO therapy remain at increased risk for apnea and bradypnea.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of supplemental oxygen (SO) for procedural sedation and analgesia (PSA) is recommended in many guidelines, but the evidence of SO for the elderly is limited. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to compare the incidence of hypoxia with or without SO in PSA for the elderly patients. METHODS We prospectively collected data on all patients undergoing PSA in the emergency department (ED) from May 2017 through December 2021. These data are from the Japanese Procedural SedaTion and Analgesia Registry. We included all elderly patients (65 years and older) who received PSA in the ED. We performed propensity score analysis for inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) to balance the baseline characteristics. The primary outcome was the incidence of hypoxia (SpO2 < 90%), and the secondary outcome was the incidence of bag-valve mask ventilation. RESULTS Among 1465 patients in the registry, we included 816 (55.7%) patients in the analysis. After propensity score method for IPTW, the distributions of confounders were closely balanced between the two groups. The incidence of hypoxia was significantly lower in the SO group compared with the non-SO group (6.2% vs. 19.3%; difference -13.1%; 95% confidence interval [CI] -9.8 to -16.4; p < 0.001). SO was also associated with a lower incidence of bag-valve mask ventilation (5.2% vs. 15.4%; difference -10.2%; 95% CI -7.1 to -13.2; p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS In a propensity-matched analysis, SO was associated with a lower incidence of hypoxia in elderly patients during ED PSA.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness of supplemental oxygen therapy and high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) therapy in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in different clinical settings to assess its application to surgical patients in the postoperative setting. DESIGN A systematic search was conducted on MEDLINE and other databases from 1946 to December 16th, 2021. Title and abstract screening were conducted independently, and the lead investigators resolved conflicts. Meta-analyses were performed using a random-effects model and are presented as mean difference and standardized mean difference with 95% confidence intervals. These were calculated using RevMan 5.4. PATIENTS 1395 and 228 OSA patients underwent oxygen therapy and HFNC therapy respectively. INTERVENTIONS Oxygen therapy and HFNC therapy. MEASUREMENTS Apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), oxyhemoglobin saturation (SpO2), cumulative time with SPO2 < 90% (CT90). MAIN RESULTS Twenty-seven oxygen therapy studies were included in the review, with ten randomized controlled trials (RCT), seven randomized crossovers, seven non-randomized crossovers, and three prospective cohorts. Pooled analyses showed that oxygen therapy significantly reduced AHI by 31% and increased SpO2 by 5% versus baseline, and CPAP significantly reduced AHI by 84%, and increased SpO2 by 3% versus baseline. CPAP was 53% more effective in reducing AHI than oxygen therapy, but both treatments had similar effectiveness in increasing SpO2. Nine HFNC studies were included in the review, with five prospective cohorts, three randomized crossovers, and one RCT. Pooled analyses showed that HFNC therapy significantly reduced AHI by 36% but did not substantially increase SpO2. CONCLUSIONS Oxygen therapy effectively reduces AHI and increases SpO2 in patients with OSA. CPAP is more effective in reducing AHI than oxygen therapy. HFNC therapy is effective in reducing AHI. Although both oxygen therapy and HFNC therapy effectively reduce AHI, more research is needed to draw conclusions on clinical outcomes.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE While supplemental O2 inhalation corrects hypoxemia, its effect on post-anesthesia ventilation remains unknown. This pilot trial tested the hypothesis that hyperoxia increases the time spent with a transcutaneous PCO2 (TcPCO2) > 45 mmHg, compared with standard O2 supplementation. DESIGN Single-blinded, parallel two-arm randomized pilot trial. SETTING University hospital. PATIENTS 20 patients undergoing robotic-assisted laparoscopic nephrectomy. MEASUREMENTS After institutional approval and informed consent, patients were randomized to receive O2 titrated to arterial saturation (SpO2): 90-94% (Conservative O2, N =10), or to SpO2 > 96% (Liberal O2, N = 10) for up to 90 min after anesthesia. Continuous TcPCO2, respiratory inductance plethysmography (RIP), and SpO2, were recorded. We calculated the percentage of time at TcPCO2 > 45 mmHg for each patient and compared the two groups using analysis of covariance, adjusting for sex, age, and body mass index. We also estimated the sample size required to detect the between-group difference observed in this pilot trial. RIP signals were used to calculate apnea/hypopnea index (AHI), which was then compared between two groups. MAIN RESULTS The mean percentage of time with a TcPCO2 > 45 mmHg was 80.6% for the Conservative O2 (N=9) and 61.2% for the Liberal O2 (N=10) group [between-group difference of 19.4% (95% CI: -18.7% to 57.6%), P = 0.140]. With an observed effect size of 0.73, we estimated that 30 participants per group are required, to demonstrate this difference with a power of 80% at a two-sided alpha of 5%. Means SpO2 were 94.5% and 99.9% for the Conservative O2 and the Liberal O2 groups, respectively. AHI was significantly higher in the Conservative O2, compared with the Liberal O2 group (median AHI: 16 vs. 3; P = 0.0014). CONCLUSIONS Hyperoxia in the post-anesthesia period reduced the time spent at TcPCO2 > 45 mmHg and significantly decreased AHI, while mean SpO2 ranged inside the a priori defined limits.

Improvement in vocal-cord visualization with Trachway video intubating stylet using direct oxygen flow and effective analysis of the fraction of inspired oxygen: a bench study. J Clin Monit Comput 2022; 36:1723-1730. [PMID: 35244821 DOI: 10.1007/s10877-022-00818-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2021] [Accepted: 01/21/2022] [Indexed: 10/18/2022]
Abstract
The Trachway video intubating stylet device facilitates the visualization of the airways of patients from the tip of an endotracheal tube (ETT) during intubation. The major limitations of Trachway are the restricted view due to secretions and the risk of a prolonged apnea during intubation. We conducted a bench study to verify the performance of an alternative, easily applicable airway device that allows better visualization of trackways during Trachway-assisted intubation and prevents the detrimental effects of apnea-related hypoxia. We conducted a bench study to thoroughly evaluate the oral-secretion-elimination ability of a newly designed oxygen delivery device (ODD) to improve vocal-cord visualization using the three commonly used ETT sizes (i.e., 7, 7.5, and 8 mm). Moreover, we measured the fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) under different, continuous oxygen-flow supplies (1-10 L/min) during intubation. Each condition was analyzed for a 2 min video-stylet-intubation period. The supplemental oxygen flow and FiO2 fraction achieved using our ODD were higher, and smaller ETTs exhibited better secretion elimination. The ODD, which can be easily coupled with Trachway stylets, enabled high-quality visualization during oxygen flows of 6-8 L/min, and higher FiO2 fractions were achieved at higher oxygen flow rates. The use of the ODD improved the visualization of the airways during video stylet-assisted intubations using the additional FiO2 supply. The ODD developed in this study improves the visualization of airways with Trachway stylets and enhances the safety of intubation.

Abstract
Cancer in patients with obesity has become increasingly common throughout much of the world. Based on our experiences in a specialized cancer center, we have developed a set of standards and expectations that should streamline the surgical journey for this patient population. These recommendations should inform the perioperative management of oncology patients with obesity and help raise awareness of this critical and under-discussed topic.

Abstract
Surgical patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) have increased risk of perioperative complications. The primary objective is to determine the characteristics of surgical patients with unrecognized OSA requiring oxygen therapy for postoperative hypoxemia. The secondary objective is to investigate the characteristics of patients who were responsive to oxygen therapy. This was a post-hoc multicenter study involving patients with cardiovascular risk factors undergoing major non-cardiac surgery. Patients ≥45 years old underwent Type 3 sleep apnea testing and nocturnal oximetry preoperatively. Responders to oxygen therapy were defined as individuals with ≥50% reduction in oxygen desaturation index (ODI) on postoperative night 1 versus preoperative ODI. In total, 624 out of 823 patients with unrecognized OSA required oxygen therapy. These were mostly males, had larger neck circumferences, higher Revised Cardiac Risk Indices, higher STOP-Bang scores, and higher ASA physical status, undergoing intraperitoneal or vascular surgery. Multivariable regression analysis showed that the preoperative longer cumulative time SpO2 < 90% or CT90% (adjusted p = 0.03), and lower average overnight SpO2 (adjusted p < 0.001), were independently associated with patients requiring oxygen therapy. Seventy percent of patients were responders to oxygen therapy with ≥50% ODI reduction. Preoperative ODI (19.0 ± 12.9 vs. 14.1 ± 11.4 events/h, p < 0.001), CT90% (42.3 ± 66.2 vs. 31.1 ± 57.0 min, p = 0.038), and CT80% (7.1 ± 22.6 vs. 3.6 ± 8.7 min, p = 0.007) were significantly higher in the responder than the non-responder. Patients with unrecognized OSA requiring postoperative oxygen therapy were males with larger neck circumferences and higher STOP-Bang scores. Those responding to oxygen therapy were likely to have severe OSA and worse preoperative nocturnal hypoxemia. Preoperative overnight oximetry parameters may help in stratifying patients.

Abstract
AIM There is skepticism amongst many dentists about the interference of nitrous oxide with the physiological parameters. This commentary attempts to make clear recommendations on the use of pulse oximeter during nitrous oxide inhalation sedation. BACKGROUND Nitrous oxide is used commonly in dentistry as a tool to reduce fear/ anxiety and build a positive dental attitude. Dentists use pulse oximeter to monitor oxygen saturation during the period of administration of nitrous oxide. There is no consensus amongst various guidelines across the world on the necessity of using pulse oximeter during the period of administration of nitrous oxide CONCLUSION: Pulse oximetry may not be considered mandatory when nitrous oxide gas is being administered for minimal sedation to a healthy patient having no pre- existing diseases/illness.

Abstract
Over the past several decades, anesthesia has experienced a significant growth in nonoperating room anesthesia. Gastrointestinal suites represent the largest volume location for off-site anesthesia procedures, which include complex endoscopy procedures like endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). These challenging patients and procedures necessitate a shared airway and are typically performed in the prone or semiprone position on a dedicated procedural table. In this Pro-Con commentary article, the Pro side supports the use of monitored anesthesia care (MAC), citing fewer hemodynamic perturbations, decreased side effects from inhalational agents, faster cognitive recovery, and quicker procedural times leading to improved center efficiency (ie, quicker time to discharge). Meanwhile, the Con side favors general endotracheal anesthesia (GEA) to reduce the infrequent, but well-recognized, critical events due to impaired oxygenation and/or ventilation known to occur during MAC in this setting. They also argue that procedural interruptions are more frequent during MAC as anesthesia professionals need to rescue patients from apnea with various airway maneuvers. Thus, the risk of hypoxemic episodes is minimized using GEA for ERCP. Unfortunately, neither position is supported by large randomized controlled trials. The consensus opinion of the authors is that anesthesia for ERCP should be provided by a qualified anesthesia professional who weighs the risks and benefits of each technique for a given patient and clinical circumstance. This Pro-Con article highlights the many challenges anesthesia professionals face during ERCPs and encourages thoughtful, individualized anesthetic plans over knee-jerk decisions. Both sides agree that an anesthetic technique administered by a qualified anesthesia professional is favored over an endoscopist-directed sedation approach.

Abstract
Purpose: The fraction of inspired oxygen while administering oxygen to patients must be measured as it represents the alveolar oxygen concentration, which is important from a respiratory physiology viewpoint. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to compare the fractions of inspired oxygen obtained through different oxygen delivery devices. Methods: A simulation model of spontaneous respiration was used. The fractions of inspired oxygen obtained through low- and high-flow nasal cannulas and a simple oxygen mask were measured. The fraction of inspired air was measured every second for 30 s after 120 s of oxygen administration. This was measured three times under each condition. Results: With a low-flow nasal cannula, airflow reduced both the intratracheal fraction of inspired oxygen and extraoral oxygen concentration, indicating that exhalatory respiration occurred during rebreathing and may be involved in increasing the intratracheal fraction of inspired oxygen. Conclusion: Oxygen administration during expiratory flow may lead to an increased oxygen concentration in the anatomical dead space, which may be involved in the increase in the fraction of inspired oxygen. With a high-flow nasal cannula, a high fraction of inspired oxygen can be achieved even at a flow rate of 10 L/min. When determining the optimum amount of oxygen, it is necessary to set an appropriate flow rate for patients and specific conditions without being bound by the fraction of inspired oxygen values alone. It might be difficult to estimate the fraction of inspired oxygen while using a low-flow nasal cannula and simple oxygen mask in clinical situations.

Abstract
Oxygen is a life-saving therapy but, when given inappropriately, may also be hazardous. Therefore, in the acute medical setting, oxygen should only be given as treatment for hypoxaemia and requires appropriate prescription, monitoring and review. This update to the Thoracic Society of Australia and New Zealand (TSANZ) guidance on acute oxygen therapy is a brief and practical resource for all healthcare workers involved with administering oxygen therapy to adults in the acute medical setting. It does not apply to intubated or paediatric patients. Recommendations are made in the following six clinical areas: assessment of hypoxaemia (including use of arterial blood gases); prescription of oxygen; peripheral oxygen saturation targets; delivery, including non-invasive ventilation and humidified high-flow nasal cannulae; the significance of high oxygen requirements; and acute hypercapnic respiratory failure. There are three sections which provide (1) a brief summary, (2) recommendations in detail with practice points and (3) a detailed explanation of the reasoning and evidence behind the recommendations. It is anticipated that these recommendations will be disseminated widely in structured programmes across Australia and New Zealand.

Abstract
There has been a great increase in the number of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures performed in the emergency department (ED) setting over the past several decades. Most of these procedures are unscheduled, unplanned, and much more likely to be successful and result in a positive outcome when the child's pain, fear, anxiety, and movement are controlled. To promote patient quality and safety, increase the effectiveness and efficiency of care, and improve patient and caregiver satisfaction, there has been a proportionate increase in the number of pediatric procedural sedations performed in the ED. With proper education and skills verification, pediatric procedural sedation can be safely and efficaciously performed in the ED. The purpose of this article is to present an overview of pediatric analgesia, anxiolysis, and sedation to promote compassionate, evidence-based emergency care of children and optimize procedural performance and outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We describe the clinical course of medical and surgical patients who received naloxone on general hospital wards for suspected opioid induced respiratory depression (OIRD). METHODS From May 2018 through October 2020, patients who received naloxone on hospital wards were identified and records reviewed for incidence and clinical course. RESULTS There were 86,030 medical and 106,807 surgical admissions. Naloxone was administered to 99 (incidence 11.5 [95%CI 9.4-14.0] per 10,000 admissions) medical and 63 (5.9 [95%CI 4.5-7.5]) surgical patients, P < 0.001. Median oral morphine equivalents administered within 24-hour before naloxone was 32 [15, 64] and 60 [32, 88] mg for medical and surgical patients, respectively, P = 0.002. Rapid response team was activated in 69 (69.7%) vs. 42 (66.7%) and critical care transfers in 51 (51.5%) vs. 30 (47.6%) medical and surgical patients respectively. In-hospital mortality was 21 (21.2%) vs. 2 (3.2%) and discharge to hospice 12 (12.1%) vs. 1 (1.6%), for medical and surgical patients respectively, P = 0.001. Naloxone did not reverse OIRD in 38 (23%) patients, and these patients had more transfers to the intensive care unit and 30-day mortality. CONCLUSION Medical inpatients are more likely to suffer OIRD than surgical inpatients despite lower opioid dose. Definitive OIRD was confirmed in 77% of patients because immediate naloxone response, while 23% of patients did not respond and this subset were more likely to need higher level of care and had higher 30-day mortality. Careful monitoring of mental and respiratory variables is necessary when opiates are used in hospital.

Abstract
Introduction Dr. Takuo Aoyagi invented pulse oximetry in 1974. Pulse oximeters are widely used worldwide, most recently making headlines during the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Aoyagi passed away on April 18, 2020, aware of the significance of his invention, but still actively searching for the theory that would take his invention to new heights. Method Many people who knew Dr. Aoyagi, or knew of him and his invention, agreed to participate in this tribute to his work. The authors, from Japan and around the world, represent all aspects of the development of medical devices, including scientists and engineers, clinicians, academics, business people, and clinical practitioners. Results While the idea of pulse oximetry originated in Japan, device development lagged in Japan due to a lack of business, clinical, and academic interest. Awareness of the importance of anesthesia safety in the US, due to academic foresight and media attention, in combination with excellence in technological innovation, led to widespread use of pulse oximetry around the world. Conclusion Dr. Aoyagi’s final wish was to find a theory of pulse oximetry. We hope this tribute to him and his invention will inspire a new generation of scientists, clinicians, and related organizations to secure the foundation of the theory.

Abstract
Ventilation or breathing is vital for life yet is not well monitored in hospital or at home. Respiratory rate is a neglected vital sign and tidal volumes together with breath sounds are checked infrequently in many patients. Medications with the potential to depress ventilation are frequently administered, and may be accentuated by obesity causing airway obstruction in the form of sleep apnea. Sepsis may adversely affect ventilation by causing an increase in respiratory rate, often a very early sign of infection. Changes in ventilation may be early signs of deterioration in the patient.

Abstract
The use of neuraxial morphine, in combination with nonopioid analgesic regimens for postoperative analgesia after Caesarean deliveries is common practice, especially in the Anglo-American world. Neuraxial morphine offers a longer-lasting superior analgesia than intravenous opioids or patient-controlled analgesia. If neuraxial anaesthesia is being used for a caesarean delivery, it may be recommended to concomitantly administer neuraxial morphine for the postoperative analgesia.A low dose of neuraxial morphine in a healthy parturient bears a low morbidity and mortality risk. The optimal frequency, duration and modality of respiratory monitoring for patients at low risk for respiratory depression is dependent on the dose of morphine administered and the patient-specific and obstetric risk profile.

Abstract
This research aims to evaluate the use of the noninvasive respiratory volume monitor (RVM) compared to the standard of care (SOC) in the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) of Kijabe Hospital, Kenya. The RVM provides real-time measurements for quantitative monitoring of non-intubated patients. Our evaluation was focused on the incidence of postoperative opioid-induced respiratory depression (OIRD). The RVM cohort (N = 50) received quantitative OIRD assessment via the RVM, which included respiratory rate, minute ventilation, and tidal volume. The SOC cohort (N = 46) received qualitative OIRD assessment via patient monitoring with oxygenation measurements (SpO2) and physical examination. All diagnosed cases of OIRD were in the RVM cohort (9/50). In the RVM cohort, participants stayed longer in the PACU and required more frequent airway maneuvers and supplemental oxygen, compared to SOC (all p < 0.05). The SOC cohort may have had fewer diagnoses of OIRD due to the challenging task of distinguishing hypoventilation versus OIRD in the absence of quantitative data. To account for the higher OIRD risk with general anesthesia (GA), a subgroup analysis was performed for only participants who underwent GA, which showed similar results. The use of RVM for respiratory monitoring of OIRD may allow for more proactive care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients undergoing bronchoscopy in spontaneous breathing are prone to hypoxaemia and hypercapnia. Sedation, airway obstruction, and lung diseases impair respiration and gas exchange. The restitution of normal respiration takes place in the recovery room. Nonetheless, there is no evidence on the necessary observation time. We systematically reviewed current guidelines on bronchoscopy regarding sedation, monitoring and recovery. METHODS This review was registered at the PROSPERO database (CRD42020197476). MEDLINE and awmf.org were double-searched for official guidelines, recommendation or consensus statements on bronchoscopy from 2010 to 2020. The PICO-process focussed on adults (Patients), bronchoscopy with maintained spontaneous breathing (Interventions), and recommendations regarding the intra- and postprocedural monitoring and sedation (O). The guideline quality was graded. A catalogue of 54 questions was answered. Strength of recommendation and evidence levels were recorded for each recommendation. RESULTS Six guidelines on general bronchoscopy and three expert statements on special bronchoscopic procedures were identified. Four guidelines were evidence-based. Most guidelines recommend sedation to improve the patient's tolerance. Midazolam combined with an opioid is preferred. The standard monitoring consists of non-invasive blood pressure, and pulse oximetry, furthermore electrocardiogram in cardiac patients. Only one guideline discusses hypercapnia and capnometry, but without consensus. Two guidelines discuss a recovery time of two hours, but a recommendation was not given because of lack of evidence. CONCLUSION Evidence for most issues is low to moderate. Lung-diseased patients are not represented by current guidelines. Capnometry and recovery time lack evidence. More primary research in these fields is needed so that future guidelines may address these issues, too.

Abstract
Obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) is considered as a diagnosis in obese patients (body mass index [BMI] ≥30 kg/m2) who also have sleep-disordered breathing and awake diurnal hypercapnia in the absence of other causes of hypoventilation. Patients with OHS have a higher burden of medical comorbidities as compared to those with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This places patients with OHS at higher risk for adverse postoperative events. Obese patients and those with OSA undergoing elective noncardiac surgery are not routinely screened for OHS. Screening for OHS would require additional preoperative evaluation of morbidly obese patients with severe OSA and suspicion of hypoventilation or resting hypoxemia. Cautious selection of the type of anesthesia, use of apneic oxygenation with high-flow nasal cannula during laryngoscopy, better monitoring in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU) can help minimize adverse perioperative events. Among other risk-reduction strategies are proper patient positioning, especially during intubation and extubation, multimodal analgesia, and cautious use of postoperative supplemental oxygen.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Flexible bronchoscopy (FB) in analgosedation causes alveolar hypoventilation and hypercapnia, the more so if patients suffer from COPD. Nonetheless, neither is capnometry part of standard monitoring nor is there evidence on how long patients should be monitored after sedation. OBJECTIVES We investigated the impact of COPD on hypercapnia during FB with endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) in sedation and how the periprocedural monitoring should be adapted. METHODS Two cohorts of consecutive patients - with advanced and without COPD - with the indication for FB with EBUS-guided transbronchial needle aspiration in analgosedation received continuous transcutaneous capnometry (ptcCO2) before, during, and for 60 min after the sedation with midazolam and alfentanil. MAIN RESULTS Forty-six patients with advanced COPD and 44 without COPD were included. The mean examination time was 26 ± 9 min. Patients with advanced COPD had a higher peak ptcCO2 (53.7 ± 7.1 vs. 46.8 ± 4.8 mm Hg, p < 0.001) and mean ptcCO2 (49.5 ± 6.8 vs. 44.0 ± 4.4 mm Hg, p < 0.001). Thirty-six percent of all patients reached the maximum hypercapnia after FB in the recovery room (8 ± 11 min). Patients with COPD needed more time to recover to normocapnia (22 ± 24 vs. 7 ± 11 min, p < 0.001). They needed a nasopharyngeal tube more often (28 vs. 11%, p < 0.001). All patients recovered from hypercapnia within 60 min after FB. No intermittent ventilation manoeuvres were needed. CONCLUSION A relevant proportion of patients reached their peak-pCO2 after the end of intervention. We recommend using capnometry at least for patients with known COPD. Flexible EBUS in analgosedation can be safely performed in patients with advanced COPD. For patients with advanced COPD, a postprocedural observation time of 60 min was sufficient.

Abstract
The anesthesia recovery is a complex physiologic process as systems recover from the effects of surgery and anesthesia. Inadequate recovery of respiratory physiology can lead to severe hypoxemia-induced end-organ damage and even death. Emerging evidence suggests that signs of respiratory depression during early anesthesia recovery may portend increased risk for future severe adverse events. This article briefly reviews the Mayo Clinic research experience and advances in clinical practice. From the implementation of a step-down model of discharge criteria in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU), consisting of PACU nurses monitoring patients in predetermined periods for signs of respiratory depression, and delaying PACU discharge for patients who exhibit signs of respiratory depression, and early intervention in high-risk patients. Subsequent studies found that even a single episode of respiratory depression in the PACU was strongly associated with subsequent respiratory complications. Further, patient baseline characteristics found to be associated with respiratory depression included obstructive sleep apnea and low body weight, and surgical factors associated with increased risk included the use of preoperative sustained-release opioids, perioperative gabapentinoid use, higher intraoperative opioids, isoflurane as the volatile anesthetic, and longer surgical duration. Based in part of Mayo Clinic research, the FDA issued a warning in 2019 on gabapentinoids use and respiratory complications, increasing the recommended level of respiratory vigilance in patients using this medication. Understanding the complex nature of postoperative respiratory events requires a range of translational and clinical research and constant update of practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although sedation during gastrointestinal endoscopy is widely used in China, the characteristics of sedation use, including regional distribution, personnel composition, equipment used, and drug selection, remain unclear. The present study aimed to provide insights into the current practice and regional distribution of sedation for gastrointestinal endoscopy in China. METHODS A questionnaire consisting of 19 items was distributed to directors of anaesthesiology departments and anaesthesiologists in charge of endoscopic sedation units in mainland China through WeChat. RESULTS The results from 2758 participating hospitals (36.7% of the total) showed that 9 808 182 gastroscopies (69.3%) and 4 353 950 colonoscopies (30.7%), with a gastroscopy-to-colonoscopy ratio of 2.3, were conducted from January to December 2016. Sedation was used with 4 696 648 gastroscopies (47.9%) and 2 148 316 colonoscopies (49.3%), for a ratio of 2.2. The most commonly used sedative was propofol (61.0% for gastroscopies and 60.4% for colonoscopies). Haemoglobin oxygen saturation (SpO2) was monitored in most patients (96.1%). Supplemental oxygen was routinely administered, but the availability of other equipment was variable (anaesthesia machine in 64.9%, physiological monitor in 84.4%, suction device in 72.3%, airway equipment in 75.5%, defibrillator in 32.7%, emergency kit in 57.0%, and difficult airway kit in 20.8% of centres responding). CONCLUSIONS The sedation rate for gastrointestinal endoscopy is much lower in China than in the USA and in Europe. The most commonly used combination of sedatives was propofol plus an opioid (either fentanyl or sufentanil). Emergency support devices, such as difficult airway devices and defibrillators, were not usually available.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Bag-valve mask (BVM) ventilation requires both manual skill and clinical assessment of minute ventilation. Subjective factors can make supplying appropriate ventilation difficult. Capnography is not routinely used when ventilating nonintubated patients. Our objective was to determine if providers were able to maintain normal capnography values with BVM ventilation in pediatric patients based on clinical skills alone. METHODS Providers (nurses, residents, and fellows) delivered 2 minutes of BVM respiratory support to healthy children during induction of anesthesia for elective surgery. All patients had standard monitoring including capnography, but providers were blinded to capnography data. Capnography data were video recorded; values between 30 and 50 mmHg were considered indicative of normal ventilation. Any deviation from this range for greater than 10 consecutive seconds was considered an episode of inappropriate ventilation. MAIN RESULTS Twenty-five providers-patient pairs were enrolled. Nineteen providers were anesthesia residents. The median age of patients was 5.3 years (interquartile range, 3.3-8.5 years). Nineteen providers (76%) had at least 1 episode of abnormal ventilation with a median of 2 episodes per provider (interquartile range, 0.5-2.5). Among these providers, total mean duration of abnormal ventilation was 57 seconds (95% confidence interval, 41-72) or 47% (95% confidence interval, 34%-60%) of the 2-minute period. CONCLUSIONS Normal ventilation is difficult to maintain among providers delivering BVM ventilation to pediatric patients without objective feedback. Incorporation of capnography monitoring may improve BVM ventilation in children.

Abstract
Obesity hypoventilation syndrome is the most frequent cause of chronic hypoventilation and is increasingly more common with rising obesity rates. It leads to considerable morbidity and mortality, particularly when not recognized and treated adequately. Long-term nocturnal noninvasive ventilation is the mainstay of treatment but evidence suggests that CPAP may be effective in stable patients. Specific perioperative management is required to reduce complications. Some unique syndromes associated with obesity and hypoventilation include rapid-onset obesity with hypoventilation, hypothalamic, autonomic dysregulation (ROHHAD), and Prader-Willi syndrome. Congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (early or late-onset) is a genetic disorder resulting in hypoventilation. Several acquired causes of chronic central hypoventilation also exist. A high level of clinical suspicion is required to appropriately diagnose and manage affected patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Post-operative hypoxemia is prevalent in hospitalized patients and may adversely affect recovery. However, little data exist on the post-discharge phase or details on duration, severity and potential risk factors. Thus, we investigated the incidence and risk factors for severe desaturation during the first post-operative week after THA/TKA by continuous nocturnal oxygen saturation monitoring. METHODS The study was a secondary analysis of a prospective cohort study of 112 patients undergoing fast-track THA/TKA. Patients with known sleep apnoea were excluded. Oxygen saturation and heart rate were recorded by a wireless wrist-worn pulse oximeter 2 nights before and 7 nights after surgery. Data on demographics, opioid consumption and cognitive function were collected from medical charts, patient diaries and clinical testing respectively. The primary outcome was occurrence of severe desaturation defined as periods with saturation <85% lasting ≥10 minutes. Secondary outcomes included description of various saturation levels and relevant risk factors. RESULTS Severe oxygen desaturation occurred in 35% of the patients during the first post-operative week. Duration and severity of hypoxemic episodes increased after the first post-operative day. Pre-operative episodes of hypoxemia significantly increased the risk of post-operative hypoxemic events (OR 2.4-4.4, CI 0.4-46), while pre- and post-operative opioid use, age, gender, ASA classification, type of surgery or anaesthesia were significantly related to the development of post-operative hypoxemia. CONCLUSIONS One third of the patients suffered from increased and prolonged episodes of severe nocturnal hypoxemia during the first week after THA/TKA discharge. Increased risk for severe hypoxemic episodes was related to pre-operative hypoxemia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Children undergoing tonsillectomy for sleep-disordered breathing are at risk for respiratory compromise when narcotics are administered. Severe complications resulting from hypoxia can include neuro-devastation and death. The objective of this prospective study was to evaluate the feasibility, accuracy, and utility of transcutaneous carbon dioxide (tcPCO2) monitoring during and after adenotonsillectomy. STUDY DESIGN Prospective, Observational study. METHODS Twenty-nine children with sleep-disordered breathing scheduled for adenotonsillectomy were included in the study. Peri-operative measurements of tcPCO2 were compared against a single venous blood sample (PaCO2) and end-tidal (ET) CO2. The differences between ETCO2, tcPCO2 measures, and PaCO2 were examined using non-paired t-tests and linear regression. Parameters from PSG were recorded and associations with tcPCO2 values were performed using linear regression analysis. Group comparisons were made between pre-, intra-, and post-operative tcPCO2 measurements. RESULTS Similar to ETCO2, there was good correlation of tcPCO2 to PaCO2. Children with lower oxygen (O2) saturation nadirs had higher peak CO2 levels during surgery and spent a greater proportion of time with CO2 > 50 mmHg in the recovery room (P < .01 and P < .08). Other PSG measures (apnea-hypopnea index, O2 desaturation index, and peak CO2) did not have any significant correlation. Frequent episodes of hypercapnia were noted intra- and post-operatively and mean tcPCO2 values during both periods were significantly higher than baseline (P < .001). CONCLUSIONS tcPCO2 monitoring is viable in children undergoing adenotonsillectomy and can provide a good estimate of hypoventilation. tcPCO2 measurements may have particular benefit in the post-operative setting and may assist in identifying children at greater risk for respiratory complications.

[PMID: 33133374 PMCID: PMC7579530 DOI: 10.4253/wjge.v12.i10.378] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2020] [Revised: 06/18/2020] [Accepted: 09/08/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Sedation is commonly performed for the endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) of early gastric cancer. Severe hypoxemia occasionally occurs due to the respiratory depression during sedation. AIM To establish predictive models for respiratory depression during sedation for ESD. METHODS Thirty-five adult patients undergoing sedation using propofol and pentazocine for gastric ESDs participated in this prospective observational study. Preoperatively, a portable sleep monitor and STOP questionnaires, which are the established screening tools for sleep apnea syndrome, were utilized. Respiration during sedation was assessed by a standard polysomnography technique including the pulse oximeter, nasal pressure sensor, nasal thermistor sensor, and chest and abdominal respiratory motion sensors. The apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) was obtained using a preoperative portable sleep monitor and polysomnography during ESD. A predictive model for the AHI during sedation was developed using either the preoperative AHI or STOP questionnaire score. RESULTS All ESDs were completed successfully and without complications. Seventeen patients (49%) had a preoperative AHI greater than 5/h. The intraoperative AHI was significantly greater than the preoperative AHI (12.8 ± 7.6 events/h vs 9.35 ± 11.0 events/h, P = 0.049). Among the potential predictive variables, age, body mass index, STOP questionnaire score, and preoperative AHI were significantly correlated with AHI during sedation. Multiple linear regression analysis determined either STOP questionnaire score or preoperative AHI as independent predictors for intraoperative AHI ≥ 30/h (area under the curve [AUC]: 0.707 and 0.833, respectively) and AHI between 15 and 30/h (AUC: 0.761 and 0.778, respectively). CONCLUSION The cost-effective STOP questionnaire shows performance for predicting abnormal breathing during sedation for ESD that was equivalent to that of preoperative portable sleep monitoring.

Abstract
Most postoperative surgical patients routinely receive supplemental oxygen therapy to prevent the potential development of hypoxemia due to incomplete lung re-expansion, reduced chest wall, and diaphragmatic activity caused by surgical site pain, consequences of hemodynamic impairment, and residual effects of anesthetic drugs (most notably residual neuromuscular blockade), which may result in atelectasis, ventilation–perfusion mismatch, alveolar hypoventilation, and impaired upper airway patency. Additionally, the World Health Organization guidelines for reducing surgical site infection have recommended the perioperative administration of high-dose oxygen, including during the immediate postoperative period. However, supplemental oxygen and hyperoxemia also have harmful effects on the respiratory and cardiovascular systems, with several clinical studies having reported an association between high perioperative oxygen administration and worse clinical outcomes. Recently, the increased availability of new and short-acting anesthetic drugs, comprehensive pharmacological knowledge, postoperative multimodal analgesia, and new minimally invasive surgery options could result in lower incidences of postoperative hypoxemia. Moreover, recommendations promoting high oxygen administration to prevent surgical site infections have been challenged, considering the lack of scientific investigations, and have not been widely accepted. Given the potential harmful effects of hyperoxemia, routine postoperative oxygen administration might not be recommended. Recent clinical studies have indicated that a conservative approach to oxygen therapy, where oxygen administration is titrated to achieve slightly lower oxygen levels than usual, could be safely implemented and decrease acutely ill patients’ susceptibility to hyperoxemia. Based on current evidence, appropriate monitoring, including peripheral oxygen saturation, and oxygen titration should be required during postoperative oxygen administration to avoid both hypoxemia and hyperoxemia. Future trials should therefore focus on determining the optimal oxygen target during postoperative care.

Abstract
In this part of the review series "Tricks and tips for home mechanical ventilation", we will discuss the evidence with regard to the place and manner of home mechanical ventilation initiation and follow-up. Outsourcing more and more of this chronic care to the home situation is a big challenge for the future: especially for the home situation, monitoring has to be non-invasive, reliable and easy to use, data security needs to be ensured, signals need to be integrated and preferably automatically processed and algorithms need to be developed based on clinically relevant outcomes.

Abstract
In head and neck surgery where the oropharyngeal area is the operative field, postoperative respiratory depression and upper airway obstruction are common. Therefore, supplemental oxygen is administered to prevent severe postoperative early hypoxemia. However, a high concentration of oxygen increases the likelihood of secondary complications, such as carbon dioxide (CO2) narcosis. Nasal high-flow (NHF) therapy generates high flows (≤60 L/min) of heated and humidified gas delivered via nasal cannula and provides respiratory support by generating positive airway pressure, clearance of dead space and reduction of work of breathing. This study aims to determine whether the postoperative hypoxemia and hypercapnia can be prevented by NHF without the requirement of supplemental oxygen. The study will recruit adult patients undergoing planned oral surgery under general anesthesia at Nagasaki University Hospital. It is a randomized parallel group comparative study with 3 groups: NHF with room air only and no supplemental oxygen, no respiratory support, and face mask oxygen administration. The study protocol will begin at the time that the patient is returned to the general ward and will finish 3 hours later. The primary endpoint is the time-weighted average of transcutaneous O2 over the 180 minutes and secondary endpoints are the time-weighted average of transcutaneous CO2 (tcpCO2), SpO2, and respiratory rate, incidence rate of marked hypercapnia (tcpCO2 ≥60 mm Hg for 5 minutes or longer), incidence rate of moderate hypercapnia (tcpCO2 ≥50 mm Hg for 5 minutes or longer) and the percentage of time that SpO2 is <90%. Included also is a group in which the postoperative management is performed only by spontaneous breathing without performing respiratory support such as oxygen administration, to investigate the efficacy and necessity of conventional oxygen administration. This exploratory study will investigate the use of NHF without supplemental oxygen as an effective respiratory support during the acute postoperative period.

Abstract
Setting: The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has raised fear throughout the nation. Current news and social media predictions of ventilator, medication, and personnel shortages are rampant. Patients: Patients with coronavirus disease 2019 are presenting with early respiratory distress and hypoxemia, but not hypercapnia. Interventions: Patients who maintain adequate alveolar ventilation, normocapnia, and adequate oxygenation may avoid the need for tracheal intubation. Facemask continuous positive airway pressure has been used to treat patients with respiratory distress for decades, including those with severe acute respiratory syndrome. Of importance, protocols were successful in protecting caregivers from contracting the virus, obviating the need for tracheal intubation just to limit the spread of potentially infectious particles. Conclusions: During a pandemic, with limited resources, we should provide the safest and most effective care, while protecting caregivers. Continuous positive airway pressure titrated to an effective level and applied early with a facemask may spare ventilator usage. Allowing spontaneous ventilation will decrease the need for sedative and paralytic drugs and may decrease the need for highly skilled nurses and respiratory therapists. These goals can be accomplished with devices that are readily available and easier to obtain than mechanical ventilators, which then can be reserved for the sickest patients.

Abstract
WHAT WE ALREADY KNOW ABOUT THIS TOPIC Dental procedures under sedation can cause hypoxic events and even death. However, the mechanism of such hypoxic events is not well understood. WHAT THIS ARTICLE TELLS US THAT IS NEW Apnea and hypopnea occur frequently during dental procedures under sedation. The majority of the events are not detectable with pulse oximetry. Insertion of a nasal tube with small diameter does not reduce the incidence of apnea/hypopnea. BACKGROUND Intravenous sedation is effective in patients undergoing dental procedures, but fatal hypoxemic events have been documented. It was hypothesized that abnormal breathing events occur frequently and are underdetected by pulse oximetry during sedation for dental procedures (primary hypothesis) and that insertion of a small-diameter nasopharyngeal tube reduces the frequency of the abnormal breathing events (secondary hypothesis). METHODS In this nonblinded randomized control study, frequency of abnormal breathing episodes per hour (abnormal breathing index) of the patients under sedation for dental procedures was determined and used as a primary outcome to test the hypotheses. Abnormal breathing indexes were measured by a portable sleep monitor. Of the 46 participants, 43 were randomly allocated to the control group (n = 23, no nasopharyngeal tube) and the nasopharyngeal tube group (n = 20). RESULTS In the control group, nondesaturated abnormal breathing index was higher than the desaturated abnormal breathing index (35.2 [20.6, 48.0] vs. 7.2 [4.1, 18.5] h, difference: 25.1 [95% CI, 13.8 to 36.4], P < 0.001). The obstructive abnormal breathing index was greater than central abnormal breathing index (P < 0.001), and half of abnormal breathing indexes were followed by irregular breathing. Despite the obstructive nature of abnormal breathing, the nasopharyngeal tube did not significantly reduce the abnormal breathing index (48.0 [33.8, 64.4] h vs. 50.5 [36.4, 63.9] h, difference: -2.0 [95% CI, -15.2 to 11.2], P = 0.846), not supporting the secondary hypothesis. CONCLUSIONS Patients under sedation for dental procedure frequently encounter obstructive apnea/hypopnea events. The majority of the obstructive apnea/hypopnea events were not detectable by pulse oximetry. The effectiveness of a small-diameter nasopharyngeal tube to mitigate the events is limited.

Abstract
The oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve describes the relationship between the partial pressure of oxygen and the percent of hemoglobin saturated with oxygen and varies with chemical and physical factors that differ for every patient. If variability could be determined, patient-specific oxygen therapy could be administered. We have developed a procedure for characterizing variations in the oxygen dissociation curve. The purpose of this study was to validate this procedure in surgical patients. The procedure uses an automated system to alter oxygen therapy during surgery, within safe operational levels, and fit to Hill's equation non-invasive measurements of end-tidal oxygen and peripheral pulse oxygen saturation. The best-fit parameters for the Hill equation, estimated by iterative least squares, provide an apparent dissociation curve, meaningful of the patient-specific pulse oximeter response. Thirty-nine patients participated in this study. Using patient-specific parameter values increases correlation when compared with standard values. The procedure improved the model fit of patient saturation values significantly in 19 patients. This paper has demonstrated a procedure for determining patient-specific pulse oximeter response. This procedure determined best-fit parameters resulting in a significantly improved fit when compared with standard values. These best-fit parameters increased the coefficient of determination R2 in all cases. Graphical Abstract This patient-specific procedure improves fit significantly compared to standard estimates.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the ability of end-tidal capnography to provide continuous ventilatory monitoring in sedated, non-intubated ED patients following sedative overdose. METHODS Observational study undertaken in a tertiary hospital ED. Patient ventilation was assessed using capnography over 60 min. RESULTS Capnography provided uninterrupted monitoring for 99% of total study time. Capnography detected all episodes of hypoxia detected by SpO2 monitoring. Changes in capnography preceded 70% of hypoxic episodes detected by SpO2 . There were no major adverse events or incidents of device failure. CONCLUSION Capnography provided reliable measurement of ventilatory function in sedated non-intubated, poisoned ED patients.

Abstract
Objective In the setting of an expanding prevalence of acute pain medicine services and the aggressive use of multimodal analgesia, an overview of systems-based safety gaps and safety concerns in the setting of aggressive multimodal analgesia is provided below. Setting Expert commentary. Methods Recent evidence focused on systems-based gaps in acute pain medicine is discussed. A focused literature review was conducted to assess safety concerns related to commonly used multimodal pharmacologic agents (opioids, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, gabapentanoids, ketamine, acetaminophen) in the setting of inpatient acute pain management. Conclusions Optimization of systems-based gaps will increase the probability of accurate pain assessment, improve the application of uniform evidence-based multimodal analgesia, and ensure a continuum of pain care. While acute pain medicine strategies should be aggressively applied, multimodal regimens must be strategically utilized to minimize risk to patients and in a comorbidity-specific fashion.
