Recent studies showed that nasal high flow (NHF) with or without supplemental oxygen can assist ventilation of patients with chronic respiratory and sleep disorders. The hypothesis of this study was to test whether NHF can clear dead space in two different models of the upper nasal airways. The first was a simple tube model consisting of a nozzle to simulate the nasal valve area, connected to a cylindrical tube to simulate the nasal cavity. The second was a more complex anatomically representative upper airway model, constructed from segmented CT-scan images of a healthy volunteer. After filling the models with tracer gases, NHF was delivered at rates of 15, 30, and 45 l/min. The tracer gas clearance was determined using dynamic infrared CO2 spectroscopy and 81mKr-gas radioactive gamma camera imaging. There was a similar tracer-gas clearance characteristic in the tube model and the upper airway model: clearance half-times were below 1.0 s and decreased with increasing NHF rates. For both models, the anterior compartments demonstrated faster clearance levels (half-times

Intratracheal dead space wash out (ITDSWO) has been developed as a method for reducing the effective dead space and has been studied in a number of low volume lung disease models. A study in preterm human neonates with hyaline membrane disease showed effective ventilation at lower airway pressures when ITDSWO was administered using a multiluminal endotracheal tube. Some models have however suggested that gas trapping may occur. We wished to determine whether ITDSWO with a multiluminal tube would be effective in a severe inhomogeneous lung disease model where elevated PaCO2 may be problematic and dead space washout would be potentially advantageous. Methods: Newborn piglets were instrumented under fentanyl anesthesia with arterial and pulmonary artery catheters. Assisted ventilation with a neonatal ventilator was commenced and after stability was assured, meconium was instilled as a 30% slurry in saline in a dose of 3 mL/kg followed after 20 minutes by a further 3 mL/kg. The animals were then monitored until PaO2 was less than 140 mmHg in an FiO2 of 1.0. At this time sequential 20 minute periods with and without extra flow delivered near the tip of the ETT via integral extra lumens built into the wall of the tube was commenced. No other changes in ventilation were permitted. Blood gas changes, airway pressures, and hemodynamics were monitored. In 4 animals flow was administered at 250 mL/min of gas with the same FiO2 as the main inspired gases, In 1animal a flow of 2 litres/min was used. Results: We confirmed that flow was being delivered to the tip of the endotracheal tube using end-tidal CO2 monitoring. There were no effects of the flow on cardiac output, pulmonary artery pressure or mean airway pressure. PaCO2 did not change when the extra flow was added. PaCO2 without flow = 42.3 (SD 9.3) mmHg, with flow = 42.8 (SD 10.7) mmHg. There were no effects on oxygenation; PaO2 with flow = 122 (SD 86) mmHg, without flow = 121(SD 86) mmHg. In the animal that received a flow of 2 litres/min PaCO2 increased during ITDSWO by 4 to 6 mmHg. Conclusion: In this lung disease model, which has airway obstruction and gas trapping as a prominent pathological feature, ITDSWO using the above methodology is ineffective possibly because of retardation of expiration and increased gas trapping. ITDSWO for meconium aspiration may require even lower flows or a different methodology such as the reverse thrust catheter.

With the promise of a complete visual and technical overhaul of the original, the Dead Space remake is full of big improvements over the original game. Nearly 15 years ago, Dead Space changed the survival horror genre forever with a science-fiction experience that proved an old spaceship could be as terrifying as any traditional horror game setting. Dead Space was critically acclaimed and is still considered one of the best titles of the late-2000s, so the hype surrounding its upcoming remake is more than justified.

That's especially true given just how major of an overhaul the Dead Space remake is. Rather than simply plastering new textures over the old game, Motive Studios has rebuilt the game almost from the ground up and the results look like everything fans wanted from a Dead Space remake. From stunning graphics and innovative 3D sound design to replacing the original game's notorious asteroid-shooting sequence, the Dead Space remake brings huge improvements to the table.

Whereas the original thrived because of its graphical limitations, exploiting poor lighting to only enhance the scares, the Dead Space remake goes all-out in using the potential of modern video game graphics to its advantage. Rather than settling for pasting on new textures, the USG Ishimura seems to have been rebuilt with tons of new details.

The new textures the remake does use also help transform the feel of the game in all the right ways in the remake. For example, one of the best parts of the original was how the USG Ishimura felt aged and lived-in, a far cry from the clean and airy atmosphere of a lot of sci-fi settings, and that's why Dead Space still holds up well today. The added level of detail in the texturing is intended to heighten this effect in the remake, making the ship look more weathered and realistic than ever.

It takes more than good graphics to do justice to an iconic game like the original Dead Space and that's why the improvements the Dead Space remake makes to visual effects are just as important. New effects in the game include interactive fog that responds to the player and sparks that change their behavior in zero-gravity for a more realistic feel.

Add in stunning real-time lighting effects and it all contributes to an entirely new sense of atmosphere that's all the more compelling because of how real everything looks. A strong sense of atmosphere is at the heart of all of the best sci-fi horror games and Dead Space is nothing without it, which is exactly why this extra attention to detail will go down well with die-hard fans of the series.

Isaac's engineer suit is one of the instantly recognizable elements from the original Dead Space that helped make it such an iconic game but, just as the game has aged, the suit has come to look a little basic over time. The Dead Space remake addresses this with a redesigned suit that captures the heart of the original but also brings in a ton of new details to take it to the next level.

For a start, its bulkier appearance makes it much more believable as a suit designed for industrial use in extremely hazardous environments. Whilst the extra panels and the visual embellishments mean there's a lot going on, the design looks purposeful whilst also now being dramatic enough to rival even the most iconic suits of armor in video games.

Whilst the choice to give Isaac a voice in the Dead Space remake is one that will continue to divide fans, as some believe his voicelessness was a defining part of the fear factor of the original, the new models that will bring the characters in line with their current voice actors look to be a straightforward upgrade.

Isaac is modeled after Gunner Wright, who now has over a decade of experience playing the character, and looks better than ever with a slightly younger, softer look. In contrast, Nicole's character model looks somewhat older but is likewise far more detailed and expressive than in the original game. Regardless of how players feel about their transformed faces, all of the models look top-notch on a technical level and will only enhance the Dead Space experience.

Callisto Protocol was disappointing even as Dead Space clone because of how it failed to actually enhance the aspects that make Dead Space great but the Dead Space remake instead seems to actively focus on these. For example, exploring and navigating the USG Ishimura made for some of the tensest and most enjoyable parts of playing Dead Space and the remake seeks to improve the setting even more.

That means the ship has been restructured to make navigating more convenient as well as more intuitive, with new additions including the ability to shuttle freely between tram stations once they're unlocked and new foot corridors that connect previously isolated parts of the ship. The result of all this extra connectivity is to make the USG Ishimura feels more like a real ship than ever as well as being more satisfying to explore.

One of the most important and sometimes overlooked aspects of the immersive survival-horror game experience is sound design, and it's one that Motive smartly went all-out on improving in the Dead Space remake. Whereas the original game did have some impressive atmospheric audio, it's something that's aged significantly over time and so it was always something the Dead Space remake needed to update.

Rather than just doing that, though, the sound team for the game aimed to create the ultimate atmospheric audio experience by focusing on occlusion and obstruction effects. In the remake, the sound is designed to interact with objects and environments in a uniquely realistic way. If hearing a strange noise was scary enough in the original Dead Space, the remake aims to make it all the eerier.
