Comparison of the Airtraq® and Truview® laryngoscopes to the Macintosh laryngoscope for use by Advanced Paramedics in easy and simulated difficult intubation in manikins
(2009)Background Paramedics are frequently required to perform tracheal intubation, a potentially life-saving manoeuvre in severely ill patients, in the prehospital setting. However, direct laryngoscopy is often more difficult ... -
Comparison of the Glidescope® and Pentax AWS® laryngoscopes to the Macintosh laryngoscope for use by Advanced Paramedics in easy and simulated difficult intubation
(2009)Background Intubation of the trachea in the pre-hospital setting may be lifesaving in severely ill and injured patients. However, tracheal intubation is frequently difficult to perform in this challenging environment, is ... -
Enhancing the efficacy and therapeutic potential of human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs) in clinically relevant sepsis models
(NUI Galway, 2022-08-30)Rationale: Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory process produced by the reaction of the immune system against a pathogen. This inflammatory process produces tissue damage leading into vital organ malfunction and, if not ... -
Evaluation of the efficacy of the Baska Mask
(NUI Galway, 2018-03-22)The Baska mask is a new supraglottic airway device (SAD). Its novel features include a non-inflatable cuff consisting of a silicone membrane, and an oesophageal drainage system with sump reservoir, connected to 2 drainage ... -
Investigation of the therapeutic potential of mesenchymal stem/stromal cells in preclinical models of systemic sepsis
(NUI Galway, 2020-10-29)Introduction: Sepsis is a syndrome of life-threatening physiologic, pathologic, and biochemical abnormalities resulting from infection 1. The host immune response, specifically the loss of immune homeostasis induced by ... -
Therapeutic potential of mesenchymal stromal cells in later phase antimicrobial resistant bacterial pneumosepsis: effects on the innate and adaptive immune system
(NUI Galway, 2023-08-25)Introduction: Sepsis is a dysfunctional immune response to infection and remains a major source of mortality worldwide. Sepsis can be divided into three stages: early, transitionary, and late phase with the early phase ... -
Therapies for acute respiratory distress syndrome: determination of the mechanisms of action of hypercapnia and the therapeutic efficacy of mesenchymal stromal cells
(2016-09-20)Rationale: Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) causes severe respiratory failure and is associated with high mortality. Pharmacological therapies are non-existent and supportive ventilation treatments are limited. ...
