Present-generation 3-dimensional ICE probes can be used for volumetric imaging; however, in the present configuration, cross-sectional measurement of annular size is difficult due to the limited field of view of 22 . [imaging.onlinejacc.org]

Abstract The passage of a tube into the trachea, whether through the nose or the mouth, is known as intubation, and probably presents more hazards than any other single anaesthetic procedure. [link.springer.com]

With only a few additional embellishments, the following table of complications and their solutions is presented here copied and pasted straight from Question 23. [derangedphysiology.com]

Nevertheless, successful conservative treatment in a large tracheal tear has been reported. 11, 12 Mullan et al have suggested that the length of intact trachea 3 cm above the carina is the important predictor of successful conservative treatment. 12 [rc.rcjournal.com]

This is a surgical emergency and prompt recognition and initiation of treatment is essential to a favorable outcome. There are very few case reports of medical treatment [4]. Medical treatment has been applied only after early diagnosis. [ejcts.oxfordjournals.org]

In addition, urolithiasis was also associated with a high risk of intensive care unit treatment, shock, and arrhythmias after AMI. Medical treatments for urolithiasis may decrease the risk of MI, except the use of NSAIDs. [dovepress.com]

Compared to the face mask group during treatment, patients in the helmet group had a higher median sustained positive end-expiratory pressure, lower fraction of inspired oxygen, and greater decrease in respiratory rate. [dynamed.com]

Outlook (Prognosis) The outlook will depend on the reason the procedure needed to be done. References Driver BE, Reardon RF. Tracheal intubation. In: Roberts JR, Custalow CB, Thomsen TW, eds. [mountsinai.org]

After discussion with the patient's relatives about the risk of surgical repair and the prognosis of neurological condition, conservative treatment was considered. [rc.rcjournal.com]

However misreading of this complication sometimes leads to delaying the diagnosis, then to worsening the prognosis. Subsequent infection spreads into the mediastinum and responsibility of the physician is engaged. [ejcts.oxfordjournals.org]

This result shows why it is vital to analyze data by the intention-to-treat principle; in this case, an erroneous conclusion could be reached if the data were analyzed by treatment received, because the success of intubation is not independent of prognosis [jamanetwork.com]
