Abstract:
Adverse respiratory events in the out-of-operation theatre premises can be challenging to anesthesiologists. Manual jaw thrust application by anesthesiologists can be a temporary solution during an adverse airway event in remote locations. This report highlights the utility of a novel collar in alleviating upper airway obstruction in a patient in the MRI suite under IV sedation. The Lubo collar provides an automated jaw thrust and can also be applied electively for patients undergoing MRI under sedation and who are at risk of upper airway obstruction.

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
