The pediatric mechanical ventilation in Canada (PeMViC) study: A Delphi survey of pediatric mechanical ventilation practices by Canadian respiratory therapists
(2021-04-01)
The gap in knowledge for pediatric mechanical ventilation (MV) management makes practice standardization difficult. The European Society for Pediatric and Neonatal Intensive Care (ESPNIC) was the first to establish consensus ...
The effect of concurrent mental and physical fatigue on physical endurance performance, strength and muscle activity: a pilot study
(2021-10-01)
A significant amount of research focus has been dedicated to physical and mental fatigue individually, but their combined effects on physical performance are relatively underexplored. As such, the purpose of this pilot ...
Implementation strategies used to reduce Unplanned Extubations (UPE) in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids)
(2021-09-01)
This study analyzed unplanned extubation (UPE) reduction strategies as well as patient characteristics and other risk factors for all UPEs that occurred between January 1, 2007 and December 31, 2019 in the neonatal intensive ...
Sedentary time and hospitalization in Canada's middle-aged and older adults
(2021-04-01)
Sedentary Time (ST) is a widespread behaviour in all age groups, especially in older adults. It is associated with chronic conditions, falls and poor physical function. Our purpose was to investigate the association between ...
Changes in cannabis consumption behaviors in relation to policy and public health developments and respiratory health of emerging adults in Canada
(2021-07-01)
Cannabis use appears to be more common among emerging adults (EA) compared to other age groups in Canada. Substance use or misuse peaks during emerging adulthood and may be influenced by political and public health deviations. ...
Before and during COVID-19: parent experiences, perceptions, and preferences regarding community-based physical activity
(2021-08-01)
Participation in community-based recreational physical activity can provide health benefits for children with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (IDD). This descriptive thematic study aimed to explore and ...
The effect of hand dominance on manual arm strength
(2021-11-01)
In the design of manual work tasks, considering task demands in the context of human strength capability has been vital to assessing workplace musculoskeletal injury risk. This is particularly true for the upper extremities, ...
An integrated wind-powered energy system for residential applications in cold regions
(2021-09-01)
This thesis proposed an integrated direct wind-powered energy system that can provide drinking water, domestic hot water, space heating as well as electricity for residential applications of a remote community in a cold ...
Triton: a domain specific language for cyber-physical systems
(2021-04-01)
The design of cyber-physical systems is non-trivial and often filled with tedious, error-prone tasks that could be represented in a better way. Engineers often work with low-level languages such as C and C++, with real-time ...
Effect of cutting tool microgeometry when milling hardened steels, a finite element simulation and surface integrity analysis
(2021-01-01)
This research work presents a 3D finite element model for the milling of hardened steels. The model was developed using ABAQUS/Explicit software and the Lagrangian approach was utilized. Experimental milling tests were ...
