Evaluation of the Diaphragm Tissue Doppler Parameters in Predicting Weaning From Mechanical Ventilation Outcome
Prospective observationnal study, including ICU adult patients with invasive mechanical ventilation for at least 48 hours. Patients are included when performing weaning from mechanical ventilation with pressure support (lowest level of pressure support).
Before separating the patient from the ventilator and performing a T tube spontaneous breathing test, diaphragm ultrasound is performed bilaterally : diaphragm excursion, diaphragm thickening fraction and maximal contraction and relaxation velocities with tissue doppler imaging.
Effect of Aromatherapy on Preoperative Anxiety Level
The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of lavender aromatherapy in reducing pre-operative anxiety in patients undergoing surgical procedures under spinal anesthesia.
This was a prospective double blinded randomized controlled trial. After patient's approval, the anxiety level was assessed preoperativetively with Visual Analogue scale-anxiety and APAIS scale. To rule out any lavender sensitivity, all subjects were given a skin patch test. This was accomplished by applying a drop of lavender oil to the back of the hand and covering it with a Tegaderm dressing to prevent inhalation and spread of the oil. After randomisation and allocation, the investigators prooceeded with the intervention preoperatively. In the operating room, the acte under spinal anethesia was performed. Then we collect data postoperatively.
Place of the Video-laryngoscope in Learning Intubation by Simulation
The aim of the study was to determine the impact of the videolaryngoscope on reducing the time needed to intubate on a low-fidelity manikin for beginners.
The investigators conducted a randomised crossover study, which took place in the simulation department of the medical school of Tunis. They used a low-fidelity manikin designed for learning airway management. The first part of our session consisted in a theoretical training. The second part was the practical training with procedural simulation.
