Towards 3D facial morphometry

Gabriel Louis Cuendet

In anesthesiology, the detection and anticipation of difficult tracheal intubation is crucial for patient safety. When undergoing general anesthesia, a patient who is unexpectedly difficult to intubate risks potential life-threatening complications with po ...

Facial Image Analysis for Fully-Automatic Prediction of Difficult Endotracheal Intubation

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Matteo Sorci, Anil Yuce, Hua Gao, Gabriel Louis Cuendet

Goal: Difficult tracheal intubation is a major cause of anesthesia related injuries with potential life threatening complications. Detection and anticipation of difficult airway in the preoperative period is thus crucial for the patients’ safety. We propos ...

Automatic Mallampati Classification Using Active Appearance Models

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Matteo Sorci, Anil Yuce, Gabriel Louis Cuendet

Difficult tracheal intubation assessment is an important research topic in anesthesia as failed intubations are important causes of mortality in anesthetic practice. The modified Mallampati score is widely used, alone or in conjunction with other criteria, ...

Influence of Blade Aspiration on the Flow Quality of an Annular Axial Compressor Cascade

Peter Ott, Elia Colombo

Experimental and numerical investigations were performed in order to develop a technique of active flow control by aspiration applied to an annular axial compressor cascade. Continuous aspiration is applied through shaped slots located on the suction side ...

Anatomy-driven design of a prototype video laryngoscope for extremely low birth weight infants

Eric Tremblay

Extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants frequently require endotracheal intubation for assisted ventilation or as a route for administration of drugs or exogenous surfactant. In adults and less premature infants, the risks of this intubation can be great ...

Endoscopic Fluorescence Imaging

Blaise Lovisa

Since several decades, the physicians are able to access hollow organs with endoscopic methods, which serve both as diagnostic and surgical means in a wide range of disciplines of the modern medicine (e.g. urology, pneumology, gastroenterology). Unfortunat ...

Adhesion of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains to untreated and oxygen-plasma treated poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) from endotracheal intubation devices

Karine Triandafillu

Pseudomonas aeruginosa pneumonia is a life threatening complication in mechanically ventilated patients that requires the ability of the bacteria to adhere to, and colonize the endotracheal intubation device. New strategies to prevent or reduce these nosoc ...

In vivo autofluorescence spectroscopy of human bronchial tissue to optimize the detection and imaging of early cancers

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières, Matthieu Philippe Emmanuel Zellweger

We are developing an imaging system to detect pre-/early cancers in the tracheo-bronchial tree. Autofluorescence might be useful but many features remain suboptimal. We have studied the autofluorescence of human healthy, metaplastic and dysplastic/CIS bron ...
