High oxygen fraction during airway opening is key to effective airway rescue in obese subjects (2019)
Conference Proceeding
Laviola, M., Christian, N., Alahmadi, H., Das, A., Bates, D. G., & Hardman, J. G. (2019). High oxygen fraction during airway opening is key to effective airway rescue in obese subjects. In 2019 41st Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBC) (2357-2360). https://doi.org/10.1109/EMBC.2019.8857109

Apnea is common after induction of anesthesia and may produce dangerous hypoxemia, particularly in obese subjects. Optimal management of airway emergencies in obese, apneic subjects is complex and controversial, and clinical studies of rescue strateg...

Conference Proceeding
Laviola, M., Das, A., Bates, D. G., & Hardman, J. G. (2017). Investigating the effect of cardiac oscillations and deadspace gas mixing during apnea using computer simulation. In 2017 39th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBC) (337-340). https://doi.org/10.1109/EMBC.2017.8036831

Gaseous mixing in the anatomical deadspace with stimulation of respiratory ventilation through cardiogenic oscillations is an important physiological mechanism at the onset of apnea, which has been credited with various beneficial effects, e.g. reduc...
