Masse sternale métastatique
Sternal masses are rare and their differential diagnosis is relatively unknown by most of us. The management of such masses mobilize often a lot of expensive radiological means. We expose the case of a patient, where a lung carcinoma is diagnosed by a surgical biopsy of a sternal mass. We discuss the different diagnoses and the management of sternal masses.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
The cuff leak test to predict failure of tracheal extubation for laryngeal edema
Laryngeal edema secondary to endotracheal intubation may require early re-intubation. Prior to extubation the absence of leak around an endotracheal tube may predict laryngeal edema after extubation. We evaluated the usefulness of a quantitative assessment of such a leak to identify the patients who will require early re-intubation for laryngeal edema.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
