Does tracheal pressure control provide automatic and variable inspiratory pressure assist to decrease the imposed resistive work of breathing?
Tracheal pressure control results in automatic and variable levels of pressure assist to decrease imposed resistive work of breathing under conditions of varying spontaneous inspiratory flow demands and endotracheal tube occlusion. Conventional systems are potentially flawed when PY is used as the control signal because they do not function in this manner and do not accurately assess pulmonary airway pressure.
Based on the number of applicants per place, there was some consistency in the most popular specialties for both UK and international medical graduates, but there were differences in the popularity of psychiatry. With anticipated decreases in the number of new international medical graduates training in the UK, university departments and professional associations may need to review strategies to attract more UK medical graduates into certain specialties, particularly psychiatry and paediatrics.
