This study looked at ways to make placing a breathing tube through the nose safer and easier for patients having surgery. Researchers tested whether warming the tube first, combined with a special inflation technique guided by a camera, could reduce nosebleeds and make the tube s…

This study looked at whether a specific eye drop (cyclosporine A) could help relieve dry eye symptoms and change the community of bacteria living on the surface of the eye. Fifty adults with dry eye were randomly assigned to use either the cyclosporine drops or a standard lubrica…

This study looked at whether tilting a patient's head and shoulders up makes it easier for doctors to see the airway and place a breathing tube when using a video scope. Researchers tested this position on 64 patients who had their neck and jaw movement artificially restricted to…

This study tested a new method to figure out if surgery patients on a special, gentler type of lung ventilation need more fluids. Researchers worked with 48 adults having abdominal surgery to see if temporary changes in breathing pressure could reliably predict who would benefit …

This study aimed to find the best head position to make placing a breathing tube easier when a patient's neck cannot be moved, simulating a difficult airway. Researchers compared a flat 'neutral' position to a 'head-elevated' position in 182 patients undergoing elective surgery. …

This study aimed to find out what causes sudden, painless red patches in the white of the eye, known as non-traumatic subconjunctival hemorrhage. Researchers looked at 67 adults, comparing those who had the eye condition to those who didn't. They checked for links to things like …
