Tracheal tubes lubricated with water to reduce sore throat after intubation: A randomized non-inferiority trial.
BACKGROUND:Sore throat is common after tracheal intubation.Water can be used to lubricate tracheal tubes, but Dabs its benefit has not been validated.We thus did a randomised non-inferiority trial to test the hypothesis that a tube lubricated with water does not reduce sore throat after tracheal intubation.METHODS:We randomized female or male patie
A Radar-Enabled Collaborative Sensor Network Integrating COTS Technology for Surveillance and Tracking
The feasibility of using Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) sensor nodes is studied in a distributed network, aiming at dynamic surveillance and tracking of ground targets.Data acquisition by low-cost ( < $50 US) miniature low-power radar through a wireless mote is described.We demonstrate the detection, ranging and velocity estimation, classificat
