You have just performed an emergency cricothyroidotomy and inserted an endotracheal tube. Your partner has begun ventilating the

patient, when you notice that only the right side of the patient's chest is rising and falling with each breath. When you auscultate the patient's chest, you hear breath sounds in the right lung, but not the left lung. What has likely happened during the procedure? How can the mistake be fixed?

Explanation:

A cricothyrotomy is an incision made through the skin and endotracheal tube is inserted to develop an artificial airway. It is usually performed under high emergency situations.

Now as per given situation, the likely reason is the wrong insertion of the endotracheal tube or there was some foreign body obstruction in the passage which wasn’t fixed in the first procedure.

To fix it, clear the obstruction or insert the endotracheal tube in the correct position

Answer:

-The mistake could be that the endotracheal tube was too deep.

-By taking some out will fix the problem.

Explanation:

What has likely happened during the procedure?

The most likely thing that had happened is that the endotracheal tube was too deep into the upper airways and has got into the right primary bronchus and that every time my partner ventilate the air only gets through the right side.

How can the mistake be fixed?

By pulling the endotracheal tube out a little bit only for it to stay in the trachea and not inside of one bronchus.

1. Air pollution
White raven [17]

Answer:

Despite past improvements in air quality, very large parts of the population in urban areas breathe air that does not meet European standards let alone the health-based World Health Organisation Air Quality Guidelines. Over the last 10 years, there has been a substantial increase in findings that particulate matter (PM) air pollution is not only exerting a greater impact on established health endpoints, but is also associated with a broader number of disease outcomes. Data strongly suggest that effects have no threshold within the studied range of ambient concentrations, can occur at levels close to PM2.5 background concentrations and that they follow a mostly linear concentration–response function. Having firmly established this significant public health problem, there has been an enormous effort to identify what it is in ambient PM that affects health and to understand the underlying biological basis of toxicity by identifying mechanistic pathways—information that in turn will inform policy makers how best to legislate for cleaner air. Another intervention in moving towards a healthier environment depends upon the achieving the right public attitude and behavior by the use of optimal air pollution monitoring, forecasting and reporting that exploits increasingly sophisticated information systems. Improving air quality is a considerable but not an intractable challenge. Translating the correct scientific evidence into bold, realistic and effective policies undisputed has the potential to reduce air pollution so that it no longer poses a damaging and costly toll on public health.
