SEVERE INTRAOPERATIVE HYPERCARBIA UNDETECTED BY CONTINUOUS END-TIDAL CO2 MONITORING IN A CHRONIC SMOKER UNDERGOING ONE-LUNG VENTILATION

Severe intraoperative hypercarbia undetected by continuous end-tidal CO2 monitoring in a chronic smoker undergoing one-lung ventilation

One-lung ventilation is known to alter the physiology and result in a discrepancy between end-tidal CO2 (ETCO2) Welding Helmet Parts and arterial blood CO2partial pressure despite protective mechanisms like hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction.Shunts in an emphysematous patient, lateral positioning and capnothorax may aggravate the discrepancy.We pre

Population-based sequencing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis reveals how current population dynamics are shaped by past epidemics

Transmission is a driver of tuberculosis (TB) epidemics in high-burden regions, with assumed negligible impact in low-burden areas.However, we still lack a full characterization of transmission dynamics in settings with similar and different burdens.Genomic epidemiology can greatly help to quantify transmission, but the lack of whole genome sequenc
