Abstract
BACKGROUND The practical sessions during skills laboratory simulation or clinical simulation are cores of nursing education. For this, different modalities have been devised to facilitate psychomotor skills learning. One of the commonly used educational material or instructional method to supplement skills learning across various disciplines is video-based teaching method. The opportunities of traditional two-dimensional video might be limitless and maximized with 360º virtual reality (VR) video, which offers immersive experience. This study incorporates 360º VR video into skills laboratory training as an alternative approach to face-to-face procedure demonstration. METHODS An open-label, parallel (1:1), randomized controlled trial study was conducted among third-year undergraduate nursing students at Hiroshima University, Japan. The nursing students were block-randomized into 360º VR video and face-to-face demonstration group. After a 3-hour theoretical class of patient management on ventilator and closed-suction principles of mechanically ventilated patients in an Intensive Care Unit focused class, the 360º VR group watched the 360º VR video of closed tracheal suction (including oral) using the head-mounted display of Meta Quest 2 individually, while the face-to-face group attended the instructor's demonstration. A week after the skills laboratory, the students' psychomotor skills, knowledge, satisfaction, confidence were evaluated; the 360º VR video group's perception was explored; Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used to compare the two groups. RESULTS A total of 57 students were analyzed; 27 students in the 360º VR video group and 30 students in face-to-face group. There were no statistically significant differences between both groups in skills, knowledge, and confidence. However, the face-to-face group had higher satisfaction level than the 360º VR group; this difference was statistically significant. In the 360º VR video group, 62% agreed that VR makes learning more interesting; more than half of students (62.5%) experienced VR sickness symptoms, and "feeling of drunk" is the highest. The students appreciated the ready to use, immersiveness, and realism; however, symptoms and discomfort, burdensomeness, and production limitations were improvements recommended. CONCLUSION Although face-to-face demonstration is the established method of teaching psychomotor skills to nursing students, the use of 360º VR video could achieve similar learning effect as an alternative approach.

Abstract
Respiratory monitoring is crucial during monitored anaesthesia care (MAC) to ensure patient safety. Patients undergoing procedures like gastrointestinal endoscopy and dental interventions under MAC have a heightened risk of aspiration. Despite the risks, no current system or device can evaluate aspiration risk. This study presents a novel acoustic monitoring system designed to detect fluid retention in the upper airway during MAC. We conducted a prospective observational study with 60 participants undergoing dental treatment under MAC. We utilized a prototype acoustic monitoring system to assess fluid retention in the upper airway by analysing inspiratory sounds. Water was introduced intraorally in participants to simulate fluid retention; artificial intelligence (AI) analysed respiratory sounds pre and post-injection. We also compared respiratory sounds pre-treatment and during coughing events. Coughing was observed in 14 patients during MAC, and 31 instances of apnoea were detected by capnography. However, 27 of these cases had breath sounds. Notably, with intraoral water injection, the Stridor Quantitative Value (STQV) significantly increased; furthermore, the STQV was substantially higher immediately post-coughing in patients who coughed during MAC. In summary, the innovative acoustic monitoring system using AI provides accurate evaluations of fluid retention in the upper airway, offering potential to mitigate aspiration risks during MAC.Clinical trial number: jRCTs 062220054.

Abstract
Early detection and appropriate management of treatment-related interstitial lung disease (ILD) are important in cancer treatment. We established an algorithm for quantifying fine crackles using machine learning and reported that the fine crackle quantitative value (FCQV) calculated by this algorithm was more sensitive than chest radiography for detecting interstitial changes. Using this algorithm, we periodically analyzed respiratory sounds in two patients with lung cancer who developed treatment-related ILDs and found that the FCQV was elevated before the diagnosis of ILD. These cases may indicate the usefulness of the FCQV in the early diagnosis of treatment-related ILDs.

Abstract
Monitored anesthesia care (MAC) often causes airway complications, particularly posing an elevated risk of aspiration and airway obstruction in obese patients. This study aimed to quantify the levels of aspiration and airway obstruction using an artificial intelligence (AI)-based acoustic analysis algorithm, assessing its utility in identifying airway complications in obese patients. To verify the correlation between the stridor quantitative value (STQV) calculated by acoustic analysis and body weight, and to further evaluate fluid retention and airway obstruction, STQV calculated exhaled breath sounds collected at the neck region, was compared before and after injection of 3 ml of water in the oral cavity and at the start and end of the MAC procedures. STQV measured immediately following the initiation of MAC exhibited a weak correlation with body mass index. Furhtermore, STQV values before and after water injection increased predominantly after injection, further increased at the end of MAC. AI-based analysis of cervical respiratory sounds can enhance the safety of airway management during MAC by quantifying airway obstruction and fluid retention in obese patients. J. Med.

Abstract
Background In Japan, there are no studies comparing endotracheal intubation performed by emergency medical technicians (EMTs) during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) using a Macintosh laryngoscope and a video laryngoscope. Objective The purpose of this study was to compare the success rate, complication rate, return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), neurological prognosis (CPC1-2) and regional differences between Video laryngoscope (VL) and Macintosh laryngoscope (ML) for OHCA patients. Method This study is a retrospective cohort study using 10,067 OHCA data extracted from the national Utstein Form and emergency medical transport data. The primary endpoint was the success rate of tracheal intubation and the complication rate and the secondary endpoints were the incidence of ROSC and CPC1-2. Results A total of 885 tracheal Intubated OHCA patients were enrolled in this study. The success rate was 94.1% (490/521) in the VL group and 89.3% (325/364) in the ML group (RR, 1.05; 95%CI, 1.01-1.10, P = 0.01), the VL group shows significantly higher success rate than that of the ML group. In the complication rates, oesophageal intubation occurred in 0.2% (1/521) of in the VL group and in 6.0% (22/364) in the ML group, Indicating significantly higher complication rates in the ML group compared with the VL group (RR, 1.06; 95% CI, 1.03-1.09, P < 0.001). The ROSC rate and CPC1-2 rate are similar among the groups. Conclusion Our data suggest that using VL had a little advantage with a higher success rate and lower complication rate. Further discussion is necessary for the future development of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) intubation devices.

Abstract
Objectives Daily assessments of swallowing function and interventions such as rehabilitation and dietary adjustments are necessary to improve dysphagia. Cervical auscultation is convenient for health care providers for assessing swallowing ability. Although this method allows for swallowing sound evaluations, sensory evaluations with this method are difficult. Thus, we aimed to assess swallowing sound by the combined use of an electronic stethoscope and an artificial intelligence (AI) system that incorporates sound recognition. Material and Methods Herein, 20 fifth‐year dentistry student volunteers were included; each participant was drank 10 ml and then 20 ml of water in different positions (sitting and supine). We developed an algorithm for indexing bolus inflow sounds using AI, which compared the swallowing sounds and created a new index. Results The new index value used for swallowing sound was significantly higher in men than in women and in the sitting position than in the supine position. A software for acoustic analysis confirmed that the swallowing index was significantly higher in men than in women as well as in the sitting position than in the supine position. These results were similar to those obtained using the new index. However, the new index substantially differed between sexes in terms of posture compared with effective sound pressure. Conclusions We developed a new algorithm for indexing swallowing sounds using a stethoscope and an AI system, which could identify swallowing sounds. For future research and development, evaluations of patients with dysphagia are necessary to determine the efficacy of the new index for bedside screening of swallowing conditions.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the characteristics of chest compressions performed in dental chairs (DCs) with 2 different structural support designs and on the floor. This randomized prospective study was conducted to compare the effectiveness of chest compressions (rate and depth) using a feedback device and a manikin reporting system. The mean anterior chest wall motion measurements captured using the feedback device were significantly increased in the DCs than on the floor, whereas the percentage of net chest compression depths ≥5 cm as measured using the manikin reporting system were significantly decreased in the DCs than on the floor. These findings suggest that cardiopulmonary resuscitation performed in a DC without the use of a supporting stool or stiff backboard is not likely to be effective even if a DC design that incorporates a supportive steel column is utilized.

Abstract
Fine crackles are frequently heard in patients with interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) and are known as the sensitive indicator for ILDs, although the objective method for analyzing respiratory sounds including fine crackles is not clinically available. We have previously developed a machine-learning-based algorithm which can promptly analyze and quantify the respiratory sounds including fine crackles. In the present proof-of-concept study, we assessed the usefulness of fine crackles quantified by this algorithm in the diagnosis of ILDs.We evaluated the fine crackles quantitative values (FCQVs) in 60 participants who underwent high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) and chest X-ray in our hospital. Right and left lung fields were evaluated separately.In sixty-seven lung fields with ILDs in HRCT, the mean FCQVs (0.121 ± 0.090) were significantly higher than those in the lung fields without ILDs (0.032 ± 0.023, P < .001). Among those with ILDs in HRCT, the mean FCQVs were significantly higher in those with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis than in those with other types of ILDs (P = .002). In addition, the increased mean FCQV was associated with the presence of traction bronchiectasis (P = .003) and honeycombing (P = .004) in HRCT. Furthermore, in discriminating ILDs in HRCT, an FCQV-based determination of the presence or absence of fine crackles indicated a higher sensitivity compared to a chest X-ray-based determination of the presence or absence of ILDs.We herein report that the machine-learning-based quantification of fine crackles can predict the HRCT findings of lung fibrosis and can support the prompt and sensitive diagnosis of ILDs.

Abstract
The presence of vomit, blood, or other foreign liquid materials in the upper airway is a major obstacle in difficult tracheal intubations (TIs) especially in prehospital care. However, the usefulness of video laryngoscopes (VLs) in these situations has not been investigated. The objective of this study was to compare the Airway Scope (AWS) and the Macintosh laryngoscope (ML) for their performance in TIs performed by emergency medical technicians (EMTs) using mannequin models with liquids in the airway. Rice gruel and mock blood were used to fill the upper airways of mannequins to create mock vomit and hematemesis models, respectively. TIs were performed by certified EMTs after visualizing the glottis using an AWS with an 18-Fr suction catheter and a ML with an 18-Fr suction catheter. TIs with AWS and ML were performed in random order in a comparative crossover trial. The TI success rate was evaluated based on the following: (a) the time taken from laryngoscope insertion into the oral cavity to glottis visualization, tracheal tube passage through the glottis, until the initiation of ventilation and (b) the subjective level of difficulty, which was assessed using a visual analog scale (VAS). TIs in vomiting and hematemesis scenarios were performed by 25 and 26 EMTs, respectively. The TI success rates for these scenarios were 100% with both AWS and ML. The median time required until successful ventilation was significantly shorter with AWS than with ML in both the vomiting (42 vs. 58 s) and hematemesis models (33 vs. 39 s), respectively. In the hematemesis scenarios, difficulty assessed using a VAS was lower with AWS than with ML (13 vs. 38 in median), respectively. Compared to the ML, the AWS was capable of faster and easier TIs, in a simulated model of liquid foreign material in the upper airway.

Abstract
The western Japan rainstorm disaster on July 6, 2018, was one of the most serious natural catastrophes in Japan, excluding earthquake events. Its main characteristics were severe and widespread flooding and landslides which cut off many areas, interrupting both traffic and telecommunication, and loss of clean water supply. We explored the utility of unmanned aerial vehicles to collect precise information on traffic disruption and damage to hospitals for patient rescue and for efficient allocation of resources. This visualized information was beneficial for determining rescue strategies. Lessons from this disaster and novel technologies could contribute to minimizing damage in future disasters.

Abstract
PURPOSE We sought to establish the clinical utility of the Pentax-AWS Airway Scope(®) (AWS) when used by paramedics to intubate the trachea, and to evaluate whether their performance was influenced by previous clinical experience with the Macintosh laryngoscope (ML). METHODS Twenty paramedics attempted tracheal intubation using the AWS in five patients each in the operating room. We recorded the success rate, the number of intubation attempts, and the time for intubation and adverse events, and compared these based on the paramedics' previous clinical experience with the ML. Ten paramedics had no prior clinical experience of the ML (group A) and 10 had used it on more than 30 occasions (group B). RESULTS The intubation success rate was 99 % (99/100). Notably, 96 % (47/49) of intubations were achieved on the first attempt by the inexperienced paramedics in group A, compared with 64 % (32/50) by the experienced paramedics in group B (p = 0.0001). The time to intubation (mean ± SD) was significantly shorter in group A than in group B (37 ± 24 vs. 48 ± 21 s, p = 0.002). There were marked variations in the times taken to intubate, but no apparent improvement as the intubators gained experience between their first and fifth cases. No complications were encountered in either group. CONCLUSION We found that paramedics could achieve a high tracheal intubation success rate using the AWS independent of previous airway management experience. Better intubation performance with the AWS was observed in paramedics without clinical experience with the ML.

Abstract
Background Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage syndrome is a life threatening condition with diverse etiologies. Sensitive prognostic markers for diffuse alveolar hemorrhage have not been well investigated. Serum KL-6 is a biomarker for various interstitial lung disease associated with disease activity and prognosis. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the clinical utility of serum KL-6 level as a prognostic marker for diffuse alveolar hemorrhage. Methods We retrospectively collected 41 consecutive patients clinically diagnosed as having diffuse alveolar hemorrhage who were admitted to the Intensive Care Unit of Hiroshima University Hospital between 2004 and 2011. Correlation between prognosis and age, sex, laboratory findings including serum KL-6, radiological findings, ventilatory modes or therapeutic regimens were evaluated. Results Baseline and peak serum KL-6 levels were significantly higher in non-survivors compared with survivors. An increase in KL-6 levels during the initial week was associated with a subsequent deterioration of the oxygenation index. Higher baseline KL-6 levels and higher peak KL-6 levels were strongly correlated with death. With a cut-off level of 700 U/mL for peak KL-6, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy for non-survival were 75%, 85% and 78%, respectively. In the multivariate analysis, only the peak KL-6 level ≥700 U/ml was an independent poor prognostic factor for diffuse alveolar hemorrhage. Conclusions Peak serum KL-6 level ≥700 U/ml may become a clinically useful marker of poor prognosis for diffuse alveolar hemorrhage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Airway Scope (AWS) (Pentax-AWS, Hoya Corp., Tokyo, Japan) and the Airtraq (ATQ) (Prodol, Vizcaya, Spain) have similarities in the novel structures of their blades. In this study, we evaluated the ease of use of the AWS and ATQ compared with the Macintosh laryngoscope (ML) by inexperienced personnel in a simulated manikin difficult airway. METHODS Twenty-four fifth-year medical students with no previous experience in tracheal intubation participated in this study. We used an advanced patient simulator (SimMan(R), Laerdal Medical, Stavanger, Norway) to simulate difficult airway scenarios including cervical spine rigidity, limited mouth opening, and pharyngeal obstruction. The sequences in selecting devices and scenarios were randomized. Success rates for tracheal intubation, and the time required for visualization of the glottis, tracheal intubation, and inflation of the lungs, and the number of optimization maneuvers and dental click sounds were analyzed. The 3 different intubation devices were tested in 4 different scenarios by 24 students. RESULTS Both the AWS and ATQ had very high success rates of tracheal intubation compared with the ML (AWS 100%*; ATQ 98%*; and ML 89%; *P < 0.05 AWS, ATQ versus ML). The time to intubation with the AWS was significantly shorter than with the ATQ and ML (AWS 11 +/- 6 seconds; ATQ 16 +/- 12 seconds; and ML 16 +/- 11 seconds; *P < 0.05 AWS versus ATQ, ML). The number of optimization maneuvers with the AWS was significantly lower than with the ATQ and ML. There were significantly more audible dental click sounds with the ML than with the AWS and ATQ. CONCLUSION Both the AWS and ATQ may be suitable devices for difficult intubation by inexperienced personnel in this manikin simulated scenario. Further studies in a clinical setting are necessary to confirm these findings.

Abstract
Airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) is a ventilatory mode that allows unsupported spontaneous breathing at any phase of the ventilatory cycle with high mean airway pressures. We hypothesized that use of APRV might produce potential beneficial effects on oxygenation, reducing mortality in patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in comparison with synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation (SIMV) as a conventional mode of ventilation. We retrospectively reviewed data of 58 patients with severe ARDS (the ratios of partial arterial oxygen tension to fraction of inspired oxygen, PaO2/F(I)O2 ratio <150). The patients' data were divided into two groups: SIMV-group and APRV-group. Patients' backgrounds, oxygenation on day 0, 1, 3, 5 and 7 following initiation of each mode, vasopressor dependence, duration of ventilation, duration of ICU stay, and mortality in ICU were analyzed. PaO2/F(I)O2 ratios were statistically higher in the APRV-group (APRV vs. SIMV on day 1, 3, 5, 7: 201.6 +/- 76 vs.150 +/- 59.1, 256.7 +/- 71.5 vs.182.1 +/- 65.4, 268.8 +/- 73.3 vs. 204.6 +/- 72.8, and 263 +/- 74.5 vs. 204.1 +/- 67.1, respectively, p<0.05). Vasopressors were less used (p=0.018), and mortality in ICU tended to be lower in the APRV group (31%) than in the SIMV group (59%) (p=0.050). Use of APRV in patients with severe ARDS appears to be associated with improvements in oxygenation, and a trend toward lower mortality in ICU. No significant adverse effects were observed. Prospective controlled studies are required to confirm the benefits of this ventilatory mode in comparison with conventional methods for severe ARDS.

Abstract
The Airway Scope (AWS-S100, Pentax, Tokyo, Japan) is a new video-laryngoscope, which has a specially designed blade and a portable, battery-powered, 2.4-inch built-in liquid crystal device (LCD) full-color video screen at the top of the handle. In this study, we tested the usefulness of the AWS for tracheal intubation in acute, urgent situations. Patients admitted to the Advanced Emergency and Critical Care Center at Hiroshima University Hospital and who required orotracheal intubations were prospectively enrolled. Tracheal intubations were performed using the AWS by residents (the novice group) or staff physicians (the experienced group), who received a brief instruction in the AWS. We enrolled 38 patients (23 males, 15 females; age, 60 +/- 19 years). Intubations were attempted by 22 intubators (11 residents and 11 experienced personnel). The durations from inserting the blade via the oral cavity until observing the glottis (T1), inserting the tube into the trachea (T2), and confirming the chest rise (T3) were 22 +/- 15, 34 +/- 21 and 49 +/- 27 sec, respectively. When the results were classified into t experienced and novice groups, T1, T2 and T3 were 17 +/- 10 vs. 26 +/- 17, 32 +/- 23 vs. 36 +/- 20, and 45 +/- 25 vs. 53 +/- 27 sec, respectively (the experienced vs. the novice group, n.s.). These results suggested that the AWS may be a suitable device particularly for less experienced personnel, such as novice Advanced Life Support providers.

Abstract
Brazil has become a country known as having one of the most extreme examples of the consequences of the hospital-based medicalization of delivery care, while a model of humanization of birth was developed in the State of Ceará in the 1970s. The Government of Japan, through the Japanese International Cooperation Agency (JICA), collaborated with the Federal Ministry of Health of Brazil and the Government of the State of Ceará, in implementing the Maternal and Child Health Improvement Project in north-east Brazil (1996-2001). This project focused on 'humanization of childbirth', with training based intervention activities. Behavioral changes among health professionals who received the project's participatory type of training were described using rapid anthropological assessment procedure (RAP) survey results. Changes from 'a culture of dehumanization of childbirth' to 'childbirth as a transformative experience' were observed.
