Проведение неинвазивной вспомогательной вентиляции легких в ходе санитарно-авиационной эвакуации у пациента с тяжелой внебольничной пневмонией

We report the experience of sanitary aviation evacuation of a patient with severe respiratory failure on the background of community-acquired pneumonia using mask non-invasive ventilation. The use of this method of ventilation of the lungs made it possible to avoid undesirable consequences arising from the transfer of the patient to artificial ventilation of the lungs and to transport him safely to a specialized medical institution in order to continue treatment. The described method of preparing a patient with respiratory failure before aviation transportation has shown its effectiveness during the flight and may be recommended for use by airmobile crews when carrying out long-distance evacuationПредставлен опыт санитарной авиационной эвакуации на дальнее расстояние пациента с тяжелой дыхательной недостаточностью на фоне внебольничной пневмонии с применением масочной неинвазивной вспомогательной вентиляции легких. Использование данного способа вентиляции легких позволило избежать нежелательных последствий, возникающих при переводе пациента на искусственную вентиляцию легких, и безопасно осуществить транспортировку в специализированное медицинское учреждение для продолжения лечения. Описываемый способ подготовки пациента с дыхательной недостаточностью перед авиационной транспортировкой показал свою эффективность во время полета и может быть рекомендован для использования аэромобильными бригадами при осуществлении эвакуации на дальние расстояния

Ультразвуковая оценка маневра рекрутирования альвеол у пациентов с тяжелой пневмонией

BACKGROUND. Ultrasound study significantly expanded the possibilities of bedside diagnosis in patients with respiratory failure. Using ultrasound, it is possible to determine the volume of lung damage in the form of collapsed alveoli and infiltration areas with preserved airness of the lung tissue. AIM OF STuDY To study the possibility of assessing the recruitment maneuver of the alveoli based on changes in the ultrasound signs of lung tissue damage.MATERIAL AND METHODS. A prospective study was performed in the Clinic of Anesthesiology and Resuscitation of S.M. Kirov Military Medical Academy. The study included 36 patients who were treated in the period from 2010 to 2017 with a duration of respiratory support of at least 48 hours and oxygenation index less than 300 mmHg. For 36 patients, 48 alveoli recruitment maneuvers were performed according to a step-by-step method under the control of dynamic compliance and average tidal volume. Ultrasound determined the type and extent of destruction of lung tissue by signs of infiltration and consolidation.RESULTS. In the studied patients, after carrying out a maneuver of recruitment of the alveoli, arterial blood oxygenation indices increased statistically significantly, PaCO2 level decreased, pulmonary tissue compliance improved, respiratory volume grew. All this confirmed the mobilization of the alveoli and improved lung ventilation. Ultrasonographic evaluation of lung tissue showed a significant decrease in the severity of the ultrasound sign of infiltration after recruitment maneuver from 46.5 (38; 57.5) to 37.5 (30.5; 49.5). However, recruitment had practically no effect on the volume of the consolidated area of lung tissue: the general consolidation index before (4 (3; 5)) and after (4 (3; 5)) the maneuver had no statistically significant differences.CONCLUSIONS. The pneumonia-affected consolidated lung tissue has a low recruitment potential and the volume of consolidation does not change with the growth of PEEP. After the recruitment maneuver, the number of B-lines decreases, indicating a decrease in infiltration and an increase in lung airness.Authors declare lack of the conflicts of interests.АКТУАЛЬНОСТЬ. Ультразвуковое исследование существенно расширило возможности прикроватной диагностики у пациентов с дыхательной недостаточностью. С помощью ультразвука имеется возможность определения объема поражения легких в виде коллабированных альвеол и зон инфильтрации с сохранением воздушности легочной ткани.ЦЕЛЬ ИССЛЕДОВАНИЯ. Изучить возможность оценки маневра рекрутирования альвеол на основании изменения ультразвуковых признаков поражения легочной ткани.МАТЕРИАЛ И МЕТОДЫ. Проспективное исследование выполнено в клинике анестезиологии и реаниматологии Военномедицинской академии им. С.М. Кирова. В исследование были включены 36 пациентов, которые находились на лечении в период с 2010 по 2017 г. с длительностью аппаратной респираторной поддержки не менее 48 часов; индексом оксигенации менее 300 мм рт.ст. Тридцати шести пациентам было выполнено 48 маневров рекрутирования альвеол по пошаговой методике под контролем динамической податливости и среднего значения дыхательного объема. При ультразвуковом сканировании определяли характер и объем поражения легочной ткани по признакам инфильтрации и консолидации.РЕЗУЛЬТАТЫ. У обследуемых пациентов после проведения маневра рекрутирования альвеол статистически значимо выросли показатели оксигенации артериальной крови, индекс оксигенации, снизился уровень PaСO2 , улучшилась податливость легочной ткани, увеличился дыхательный объем. Все это свидетельствовало о мобилизации альвеол и улучшении вентиляции легких. Сонографическая оценка легочной ткани показала существенное уменьшение выраженности ультразвукового признака инфильтрации после проведения маневра рекрутирования с 46,5 (38; 57,5) до 37,5 (30,5; 49,5). Однако рекрутирование практически не оказало влияния на объем консолидированной зоны легочной ткани: общий индекс консолидации до (4 (3; 5)) и после (4 (3; 5)) маневра не имел статистически достоверных различий.ВЫВОДЫ. 1) Пораженная пневмонией консолидированная легочная ткань имеет низкий рекрутабельный потенциал и при увеличении положительного давления в конце выдоха объем консолидации не меняется. 2) После маневра рекрутирования уменьшается количество В-линий, свидетельствующих о снижении инфильтрации и увеличении воздушности легких.Авторы заявляют об отсутствии конфликта интересов

Measurement of the Inclusive Electron Neutrino Charged Current Cross Section on Carbon with the T2K Near Detector

The T2K off-axis near detector ND280 is used to make the first differential cross-section measurements of electron neutrino charged current interactions at energies similar to 1 GeV as a function of electron momentum, electron scattering angle, and four-momentum transfer of the interaction. The total flux-averaged nu(e) charged current cross section on carbon is measured to be (phi) = 1.11 +/- 0.10(stat) +/- 0.18(syst) x 10(-38) cm(2)/nucleon. The differential and total cross- section measurements agree with the predictions of two leading neutrino interaction generators, NEUT and GENIE. The NEUT prediction is 1.23 x 10(-38) cm(2)/nucleon and the GENIE prediction is 1.08 x 10(-38) cm(2)/nucleon. The total nu(e) charged current cross-section result is also in agreement with data from the Gargamelle experiment

Measurement of the nu(mu) charged-current quasielastic cross section on carbon with the ND280 detector at T2K

This paper reports a measurement by the T2K experiment of the νμ charged current quasielastic (CCQE) cross section on a carbon target with the off-axis detector based on the observed distribution of muon momentum (pμ) and angle with respect to the incident neutrino beam (θμ). The flux-integrated CCQE cross section was measured to be ⟨σ⟩=(0.83±0.12)×10−38  cm2. The energy dependence of the CCQE cross section is also reported. The axial mass, MQEA, of the dipole axial form factor was extracted assuming the Smith-Moniz CCQE model with a relativistic Fermi gas nuclear model. Using the absolute (shape-only) pμ−cosθμ distribution, the effective MQEA parameter was measured to be 1.26+0.21−0.18  GeV/c2 (1.43+0.28−0.22  GeV/c2)

Precise Measurement of the Neutrino Mixing Parameter theta(23) from Muon Neutrino Disappearance in an Off-Axis Beam

New data from the T2K neutrino oscillation experiment produce the most precise measurement of the neutrino mixing parameter theta_{23}. Using an off-axis neutrino beam with a peak energy of 0.6 GeV and a data set corresponding to 6.57 x 10^{20} protons on target, T2K has fit the energy-dependent nu_mu oscillation probability to determine oscillation parameters. Marginalizing over the values of other oscillation parameters yields sin^2 (theta_{23}) = 0.514 +0.055/-0.056 (0.511 +- 0.055), assuming normal (inverted) mass hierarchy. The best-fit mass-squared splitting for normal hierarchy is Delta m^2_{32} = (2.51 +- 0.10) x 10^{-3} eV^2/c^4 (inverted hierarchy: Delta m^2_{13} = (2.48 +- 0.10) x 10^{-3} eV^2/c^4). Adding a model of multinucleon interactions that affect neutrino energy reconstruction is found to produce only small biases in neutrino oscillation parameter extraction at current levels of statistical uncertainty

Measurement of the intrinsic electron neutrino component in the T2K neutrino beam with the ND280 detector

The T2K experiment has reported the first observation of the appearance of electron neutrinos in a muon neutrino beam. The main and irreducible background to the appearance signal comes from the presence in the neutrino beam of a small intrinsic component of electron neutrinos originating from muon and kaon decays. In T2K, this component is expected to represent 1.2% of the total neutrino flux. A measurement of this component using the near detector (ND280), located 280 m from the target, is presented. The charged current interactions of electron neutrinos are selected by combining the particle identification capabilities of both the time projection chambers and electromagnetic calorimeters of ND280. The measured ratio between the observed electron neutrino beam component and the prediction is 1.01 +/- 0.10 providing a direct confirmation of the neutrino fluxes and neutrino cross section modeling used for T2K neutrino oscillation analyses. Electron neutrinos coming from muons and kaons decay are also separately measured, resulting in a ratio with respect to the prediction of 0.68 +/- 0.30 and 1.10 +/- 0.14, respectively

Measurement of the neutrino-oxygen neutral-current interaction cross section by observing nuclear deexcitation gamma rays

We report the first measurement of the neutrino-oxygen neutral-current quasielastic (NCQE) cross section gamma It is obtained by observing nuclear deexcitation. rays which follow neutrino-oxygen interactions at the Super-Kamiokande water Cherenkov detector. We use T2K data corresponding to 3.01 x 10(20) protons on target. By selecting only events during the T2K beam window and with well-reconstructed vertices in the fiducial volume, the large background rate from natural radioactivity is dramatically reduced. We observe 43 events in the 4-30 MeV reconstructed energy window, compared with an expectation of 51.0, which includes an estimated 16.2 background events. The background is primarily nonquasielastic neutral-current interactions and has only 1.2 events from natural radioactivity. The flux-averaged NCQE cross section we measure is 1.55 x 10(-38) cm(2) with a 68% confidence interval of (1.22, 2.20) x 10(-38) cm(2) at a median neutrino energy of 630 MeV, compared with the theoretical prediction of 2.01 x 10(-38) cm(2)
