In Brief BACKGROUND: Intubation success in patients with predicted difficult airways is improved by video laryngoscopy. particular, acute-angle laryngoscopes are now frequently chosen for endotracheal intubation these patients. However, there no evidence concerning whether different can be used interchangeably this scenario and would allow the same rate. We therefore tested first-attempt similar when using a newly introduced blade, that an element of extended airway management system (C-MAC...
Summary Conventionally, nasotracheal intubation has consisted of blind nasal passage and external manipulation the tube through glottis (‘conventional technique’), a technique associated with high incidence trauma. We evaluated novel for routine asleep (i.e. post‐induction) using bougie (‘bougie which uses nasopharyngeal airway to guide paediatric nasotracheally use as Seldinger tracheal guide. Two hundred fifty‐seven older children (> 8 years) adults were randomly assigned...
The use of epinephrine-containing saline irrigating solutions during arthroscopic shoulder surgery gained popularity after it was reported that the addition epinephrine reduced bleeding and improved visualization without adverse cardiovascular effects. We share a case patient undergoing arthroscopy who received standard intra-articular infusion normal (1 mcg/mL) experienced severe hemodynamic consequences.
Abstract Background Oropharyngeal airways are used both to facilitate airway patency during mask ventilation as well conduits for flexible scope intubation, though none excel at both. A novel device, the Articulated Oral Airway (AOA), is designed intubation by active displacement of tongue. Whether this tongue also facilitates ventilation, thus adding dual functionality, unknown. This study compared AOA Guedel (GOA) in regards efficacy patients with factors predictive difficult ventilation....
Sir, Tracheostomies for morbidly obese patients can present significant challenges both anesthesia and surgical teams. We a case of 44-year-old male with body mass index (BMI) 90 whom creative positioning methods were needed safe tracheostomy placement. A 44-year-old, 285 kg man (BMI 90) was scheduled acute respiratory failure. His medical history for: Severe untreated obstructive sleep apnea, Obesity–Hypoventilation syndrome chronic CO2 retention home O2 dependency (4 L), Acute lower...
(Abstracted from Anesth Analg, 122:740–750, 2016) Video laryngoscopy helps to facilitate endotracheal intubation and can improve first-attempt success rates. However, although studies have demonstrated better conditions with video compared direct laryngoscopy, it is unclear whether such results are generalizable any type of laryngoscope (VL) all types larygnoscopes interchangeable.
