Lung Collapse, One-Lung Ventilation
Physiology of Lung Collapse Under One-Lung Ventilation: Underlying Mechanisms
Lung isolation technique and one-lung ventilation (OLV) are the mainstays of thoracic anesthesia. Two principal lung isolation techniques are mainly use by clinicians, the double lumen tubes (DLT) and the bronchial blockers (BB).

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Sitagliptin Therapy and Kinetics of Inflammatory Markers
Inflammatory processes are increasingly being recognized as a critical step in the pathogenesis of both diabetes and heart disease and may constitute a biological link between the two diseases.

Obesity, Morbid
EPO2-A: Evaluation of Pre-Oxygenation in Morbid Obesity: Effect of Position and Positive Pressure Ventilation
The risk of complication associated with airway in obese patient is important. The result of pre-oxygenation gives the clinician a prolonged non-hypoxic apnea time.
- Trial name
- EPO2-A (NCT02590406)
- Testing
- Beach chair (BC) and ZEEP, Reverse Trendelenburg and NIPPV

Asthma, Allergic Rhinitis
Nasal Allergen Challenge in Rhinitic Subjects
Background: Nasal allergen challenge (NAC) is useful to study the pathophysiology of rhinitis, and multiple challenges may more adequately approximate natural exposure.
- Trial name
- NCT01286129
- Testing
- Nasal allergen challenge

- Canada
- Volunteers

Morbid Obesity, Bariatric Surgery Candidate
EPO2-PV: Evaluation of Pre-Oxygenation Conditions in Morbidly Obese Volunteer: Effect of Position and Ventilation Mode
The risk of complications associated with airway management in obese patients is significant. The results of pre-oxygenation allow a prolonged non-hypoxic apnea time for the clinician.
- Trial name
- EPO2-PV (NCT02121808)
- Testing
- NIPPV, Tidal volume

Metabolic Syndrome X
Effects of Selective Inhibition of Cholesterol Absorption With Ezetimibe on Intestinal Cholesterol Homeostasis in Dyslipidemic Men With Insulin-resistance - a Pilot Study
Ezetimibe has been shown to inhibit cholesterol absorption and several lines of evidence from in vitro systems and animal models suggest that this effect is associated with an increase in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor…

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Sitagliptin and Kinetics of Triglyceride-rich Lipoproteins Apolipoprotein B48 and B100 in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes
Sitagliptin is a potent and selective inhibitor of dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV), and has been shown to reduce fasting and postprandial glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mainly through incretin hormone-mediated…

Video-assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery, Lung Isolation Device
Lung Collapse With Bronchial Blocker
Lung isolation is frequently used during thoracic surgery. Two techniques are principally used: the double lumen tube (DLT) and the bronchial blocker (BB).

Double Lumen Tube Intubation
The New GlideRite DLT Stylet®: An Observational Study
Thoracic surgeries usually require lung isolation techniques. Double-lumen tube (DLT), either right or left sided, is the most frequent tool used to realize this technique.
