The very act of struggling with a medical condition can lead to trauma, as well as getting a dreaded diagnosis of a chronic or life-threatening illness. Seeking diagnosis is also a factor because it takes an average of 8 to 10 years to be diagnosed with a rare disease: www.ihi.org/library/blog...

The PUMA Guidelines recommend evaluating at least seven administered breaths to confirm tracheal tube placement. But why? It is unclear why a positive trajectory in amplitude would be expected to reverse during the fifth, sixth or seventh breaths. #AnSky doi.org/10.1111/anae...
