The study team proposes a randomized controlled trial of CPAP (n=100) vs. control (n=100) in COVID-19 suspected or confirmed patients with pneumonia or respiratory illness. The overarching aim of this proposal is to determine if early use of CPAP at home will reduce hypoxemic events or reduce the
Background In 2016 the Danish Emergency Medical Services (EMS) introduced a nationwide electronic medical reporting system. This provided new possibilities for exploring many of the aspects surrounding the daily practice the EMS, including information on selective subgroups of cardiac arrest
Postoperative pain due to surgical incision may limit lung expansion. After cardiac surgery, all patients receive respiratory therapies, because it is critical to expand lung after surgery to prevent respiratory complications such as lung collapse (atelectasis) due to shallow breathing or
Pneumoperitonium for laproscopic surgery usually result in decrease total respiratory compliance due to cranial shift of the diaphragm. Alveolar recuirtment is applied hopefully to minimize lung atlectasis and open collapsed alveoli to maintain arterial oxygenation. The anantomical proximity of
INTRODUCTION:
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a form of endoscopy where a Side-viewing endoscope is introduced into the duodenum, following which instruments are passed into bile or pancreatic ducts, to allow their radiological visualisation by injecting contrast medium
Cardiac arrythmias are the most common cardiac complications after thoracic surgery. They are made primarily of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF).
They are associated with an increased risk of stroke, increased length of hospital stay and cost of care, and increased long-term
BACKGROUND AND SIGNIFICANCE
All currently available mechanical ventilation modes assume that patient-ventilator interaction is necessarily a "master-slave" or controller-follower relationship. In controlled mechanical ventilation, the ventilator takes control of the ventilatory rhythm irrespective
This study is a prospective, single arm, observational study of patients at Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital receiving treatment for laryngotracheal stenosis using a modified tracheal dilatation balloon. The tracheal balloon dilatation procedure is clinically well-established and is
To compare between Biphasic Intermittent Positive Airway Pressure (BIPAP) ventilation and Airway Pressure Release Ventilation (APRV) mode in patients with multiple fracture ribs as regard:
- Resting Energy Expenditure
- Oxygenation
- Stability of Physiological Status as cardiovascular activity

Lung cancer has been a leading cause of death for years. There are more than 10,000 new cases in Taiwan. Delayed discovery of the disease is a reason for high mortality rate. Most cases are discovered after second stage. Early discovery of the disease rely on low dose CT scans. Early stage lung
Apnea test (AT) is one of the most important examination during the diagnosis of brain death. It is usually performed at the end of each series of clinical examinations during diagnostic process. The most popular standard insufflation apnea test (I-AT) may be potentially harmful. It may cause some

1. Sample size calculation, randomization and patients safety. The required sample size is calculated from previous studies on the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications. A two group chi-square test with a 0.05 two-sided significance level will have 80% power to detect the difference (in
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a common retinal neovascular disorder and major cause of vision impairment or blindness, despite current treatment of late stage ROP. Because the visual disorders after treatment are often poor, preventive therapy for ROP is still lacking. Although ROP is a
