DOI: 10.4103/sja.sja_390_18
Abstract: Background: Paediatric airway assessment remains the most challenging task before the anaesthesiologists. Recent advancement in ultrasonography techniques should now allow for accurate and descriptive evaluation of paediatric airway. To compare calculated external diameters of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.7861/clinmedicine.19-2-s50
Abstract: This study aims to compare the ‘drainage time’: the time required to drain the effusion, with a small-bore (12F) chest tube or a conventional large-bore (20–24F) chest tube in patients with a parapneumonic effusion. Data… read more here.
