Scientists have developed a tissue-engineered model of lung and trachea which contains the diverse cell types present in the human respiratory tract. Scientists at Children's Hospital Los Angeles have ...

The most common causes of neonatal respiratory distress in the delivery room are birth asphyxia, prematurity and meconium aspiration. There are other less common causes such as diaphragmatic hernia, ...

Placement of a double-lumen endotracheal tube is an airway-management technique that permits isolation and selective ventilation of a single lung. Double-lumen tubes are bifurcated into a bronchial ...

A new procedure for real time, nonradiographic determination of endotracheal tube position with a magnetic field interference sensing technique was evaluated in cadavers. Each prototype tube ...

The trachea is a tube-like structure in the neck and upper chest. It stretches from the larynx, or voice box, to the bronchi and transports air to and from the lungs when a person breathes. When a ...
