Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation in procedural sedation

The American Journal of Emergency Medicine
Jason RemickKristen Delagol

Abstract

Maintenance of spontaneous effective ventilations can present unique challenges to emergency physicians directing procedural sedation in patients with underlying anatomic or physiologic upper airway pathology. In a morbidly obese patient requiring electrical cradioversion, use of bilevel positive airway pressure facilitated deep sedation while averting any adverse respiratory complications. Noninvasive pressure support ventilation may present another emergency department adjunct for difficult procedural sedation cases.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
