Damage to the cuff of EMG tube at endotracheal intubation by using a lightwand -A case report-

Electromyogpraphic endotracheal tube (EMG tube) is a new device used to monitor recurrent laryngeal nerve integrity during thyroid surgery. The EMG tube has 2 pairs of electrodes on the surface of silicon-based tube reached to inner space of tube cuff. We experienced an unusual endotracheal tube-related problem from the distinct structural feature of the EMG tube. In this case, we intubated a patient who had difficult airway with the EMG tube using a lightwand. After successful endotracheal intubation, we could not expand the pilot balloon and ventilate the patient effectively. We removed the EMG tube and found that one of electrodes of the EMG tube is bended and made a right angle with the long axis of the tube, and perforated the tube cuff. So we report this case to make anesthesia providers aware that much more attention is needed to use EMG tube during endotracheal intubation

The Relationship between Green Investment and Eco-Innovation in Europe

It is universally acknowledged that environmental protection has become one of the most pressing global issues in the last decades. Green technology is indispensable to finding less damaging alternatives, and no innovation is carried out without investment. In contribution to environmental economics, the purpose of this thesis is to provide empirical evidence on whether green investment has a relationship with eco-innovation in the European Union (EU). The study draws on a theoretical framework that combines Romer's endogenous growth theory and the Ecological Modernization theory. Based on this framework, the hypothesis expected is a positive impact of green investment on eco-innovation. The analysis utilizes data on environmental protection investment as a measure of green investment, and environmental-related technology patents as a measure of eco-innovation. A panel data analysis is conducted from the years 2013 to 2019 on EU countries, employing random effects model to regress the relationship between the two variables. The results provide statistically significant evidence that green investment has a positive impact on eco-innovation.

Case study involving suctioning of an electromyographic endotracheal tube.

The electromyographic endotracheal tube (EMG-ETT) is a relatively new tool used to measure integrity of the vocal cord structures during surgery. We describe a case in which an EMG-ETT was inserted for the operative period but not replaced with an ETT during the immediate postoperative period. Intensive care unit nurses had difficulty suctioning the EMG-ETT. The patient was not provided the pulmonary toilet necessary until the EMG-ETT was removed and replaced with a regular ETT. The purpose of this article is to make anesthesia providers aware that when mechanical ventilation is required during the postoperative period, the EMG-ETT should be removed and replaced with a regular ETT to facilitate pulmonary toilet
