Airway management is required during general anaesthesia and essential for life-threatening conditions such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Evidence from recent trials indicates a high incidence of critical events airway management, especially in neonates or infants. It important to define the optimal techniques strategies these groups. In this joint European Society Anaesthesiology Intensive Care (ESAIC) British Journal Anaesthesia (BJA) guideline on infants, we present aggregated...
The use of the Internet to search for medical and health-related information is increasing associated with concerns around quality safety.We investigated current perceptions on reliable websites children's health by parents.Following institutional ethics approval, we conducted a survey parents/guardians children presenting day surgery. A 20-item instrument developed tested investigators was administered.Ninety-eight percent respondents reported that they used about their child's health. Many...

Flexible bronchoscopy is the gold standard for difficult airway management. Clinicians are using videolaryngoscopy increasingly because it perceived to be easier use with high success rates. We conducted this study compare rates of two techniques when used after failed direct laryngoscopy in children tracheal intubations. identified cases where initial attempts at multicentre Pediatric Difficult Intubation Registry from August 2012-September 2023. After propensity score matching, we compared...
Podcasts are increasingly being used in medical education. In this study, we conducted a survey of Canadian anesthesia residents to better delineate the content needs, format preferences, and usage patterns among residents.10/16 program directors, representing 443/659 residents, allowed their be included study. 169/659 (24%) responded our survey. A 17-item tool developed by investigators was distributed email eliciting information on podcast use, preferred content, format, adjuncts perceived...
See Article, page 220 Immersive virtual environments (IVEs), including reality (VR) and augmented (AR), have gained immense popularity in medical education health care.1 Over the last 10 years, expansion of gaming development platforms, such as Unreal Engine Unity, along with head-mounted displays (HMDs), has been fueled by major commercial interests, Meta, Microsoft, Google, huge investments this immersive market. The market is currently valued at 6.1 billion US dollars (USD) predicted to...
Introduction The Microsoft HoloLens is a head-mounted mixed reality device, which allows for overlaying hologram-like computer-generated elements onto the real world. This technology can be combined with preprocedural ultrasound during thoracic epidural placement to create visual of ideal needle angulation and trajectory in users’ field view. could result technically easier potentially safer alternative traditional blind landmark techniques. Methods Patients were randomly assigned one two...
Summary A key factor that may contribute to communication failures is status asymmetry between team members. We examined the effect of a consultant anaesthetist's interpersonal behaviour on trainees’ ability effectively challenge clearly incorrect clinical decisions. Thirty‐four trainees were recruited participate in video‐recorded scenario an airway crisis. They randomised group which confederate was scripted recreate either strict/exclusive or open/inclusive dynamic. The allowed four...
Moderate to severe postoperative pain in children is common. Increased pediatric day surgeries have shifted management predominantly the home setting. Mobile health technology has potential overcome barriers care by improving access self-management resources. However, apps generally lack scientific evidence and are highly underutilized due of involvement end users their development. Thus, an evidence-based smartphone app that incorporates needs perspective adolescents (end users) improve...
This article will provide a framework for producing immersive 360-degree videos pediatric and adult patients in hospitals. information may be useful to hospitals across the globe who wish produce similar their patients. Advancements technologies have allowed us our own "virtual experience" where children can prepare anesthesia by "experiencing" all sights sounds of receiving recovering from an anesthetic. We shown that health care professionals, children, parents find this form preparation...
Innovation in medical education is not only inevitable but a requirement. Manikin-based simulation currently the gold standard for supplemental clinical training; however, this modality requires significant equipment and personnel to operate. Virtual reality (VR) emerging as new method of delivering sessions that less infrastructure also allows greater accessibility flexibility. VR has slowly been integrated into curriculum some hospitals; more widespread adoption would transform delivery...
BackgroundDifficult facemask ventilation is perilous in children whose tracheas are difficult to intubate. We hypothesised that certain physical characteristics and anaesthetic factors associated with mask paediatric patients who also had tracheal intubation.MethodsWe queried a multicentre registry for experienced "difficult" or "impossible" ventilation. Patient case known before attempt were included consideration this regularised multivariable regression analysis. Incidence of...
BackgroundThe Paediatric Difficult Intubation Collaborative identified multiple attempts and persistence with direct laryngoscopy as risk factors for complications in children difficult tracheal intubations subsequently engaged initiatives to reduce repeated children. We hypothesised these efforts would lead fewer attempts, decrease complications.MethodsPaediatric patients less than 18 years of age were enrolled the Registry. define those whom (1) an attending or consultant obtained a...
