Previously active in the mid-1990s, Canadian Airway Focus Group (CAFG) studied unanticipated difficult airway and made recommendations on management a 1998 publication. The CAFG has since reconvened to examine more recent scientific literature management. Group's mandate for this article was arrive at updated practice of unconscious/induced patient whom or failed tracheal intubation is encountered.Nineteen clinicians with backgrounds anesthesia, emergency medicine, intensive care joined...
Appropriate planning is crucial to avoid morbidity and mortality when difficulty anticipated with airway management. Many guidelines developed by national societies have focused on management of encountered in the unconscious patient; however, little guidance appears literature how best approach patient an difficult airway. To review this other subjects, Canadian Airway Focus Group (CAFG) was re-formed. With representation from anesthesiology, emergency medicine, critical care, CAFG members...
Across multiple disciplines undertaking airway management globally, preventable episodes of unrecognised oesophageal intubation result in profound hypoxaemia, brain injury and death. These events occur the hands both inexperienced experienced practitioners. Current evidence shows that occurs sufficiently frequently to be a major concern merit co-ordinated approach address it. Harm from is avoidable through reducing rate intubation, combined with prompt detection immediate action when it...
Since the last Canadian Airway Focus Group (CAFG) guidelines were published in 2013, airway management literature has expanded substantially. The CAFG therefore re-convened to examine this and update practice recommendations. This second of two articles addresses evaluation, decision-making, safe implementation an strategy when difficulty is anticipated. members, including anesthesia, emergency medicine, critical care physicians assigned topics search.

Background Many healthcare professionals are trained in direct laryngoscopic tracheal intubation (LEI), which is a potentially lifesaving procedure. This study attempts to determine the number of successful LEI exposures required during training assure competent performance, with special emphasis on defining competence itself. Methods Analyses were based longitudinal novices under conditions operating room. The progress 438 LEIs performed by 20 nonanesthesia trainees was monitored...
Summary We compared the McGrath ® Series 5 videolaryngoscope with Macintosh laryngoscope in a simulated difficult airway, using manual in‐line stabilisation 88 anaesthestised patients of ASA physical status 1‐2. The primary outcome was laryngoscopic view. Secondary outcomes included rates successful tracheal intubation and complications. A Cormack Lehane grade‐1 or ‐2 view found all when 45 (51%, p < 0.0001) laryngoscopes. mean (SD) percentage glottic opening 82 (23)% 13 (p 0.0001). In 66...

This Note briefly describes the method of `co-word analysis', and presents some results its application to scientific literature in field Artificial Intelligence (AI). A sample AI literature, published 1984 1985, was drawn from CNRS/INIST database Paris. The co-word analysis this suggests that is a characterized by relative intellectual coherence specifiable `core'. In this, seems differ studies acidification environment: latter reveals no evidence likely emergence unifying general theory....
Multiple professional groups and societies worldwide have produced airway management guidelines. These are typically targeted at the process of tracheal intubation by a particular provider group in restricted category patients reflect practice preferences geographical region. The existence multiple distinct guidelines for some (but not other) closely related circumstances, increases complexity may obscure underlying principles that common to all them. This has potential increase cognitive...
Introduction Anesthesia assistants (AAs) are respiratory therapists or nurses who have additional sub-specialty training in the provision and maintenance of anesthesia. Their skill set includes advanced airway management, vascular access, knowledge vasoactive medications resuscitative protocols. AAs function as non-physician members anesthesia team can act physician extenders to help offset current shortage anesthesiologists. Methods This study was a retrospective analysis AA roles at code...
