Does modafinil improve event related potentials P300 and contingent negative variation after 24 h sleep deprivation?
The results strongly suggest that modafinil in a dose of 400mg/day, reduces the subjective sleepiness and cognitive decline following 24 h of SD.
Our study suggests that assisted coughing with a capped tracheostomy tube in place can result in higher flows than removing the tube and relying on spontaneous cough alone. Postdecannulation CPF measured at the mouth can be predicted to be at least 34.5 l/min greater than predecannulation values, which may thereby lower the threshold of the CPF indicated for safe decannulation.
