Background: Tracheal intubation in critical care is a high-risk procedure requiring significant expertise and airway strategy modification. We hypothesise that awake tracheal intubation is associated with a lower incidence of severe adverse events co...
This is the first study assessing the clinical management of severe, isolated dysphonia during post-COVID-19 syndrome. One hundred and fifty-eight subjects met the inclusion criteria for the post-COVID-19 condition as specified by the WHO. Six patien...
Background: Airway management in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) presents unique challenges for anesthesiologists and other airway practitioners. This comprehensive review examines current evidence and clinical practices for managing diff...
The available meta-analyses have inconclusively indicated the advantages of video-laryngoscopy (VL) in different clinical situations; therefore, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine efficacy outcomes such as successful firs...
We hypothesized that external laryngeal manipulation would reduce cervical spine motion during video laryngoscopic intubation under manual in-line stabilization by reducing the force required to lift the videolaryngoscope. In this randomized crossove...
Videolaryngoscopes may reduce cervical spine movement during tracheal intubation in patients with neck trauma. This manikin study aimed to compare the performance of disposable non-channeled and channeled blades of the King Vision™ videolaryngo...
As the COVID-19 pandemic evolves, infection with the Omicron variants has become a serious risk to global public health. Anesthesia providers are often called upon for endotracheal intubations for COVID patients. Expedite and safe intubation can save...
Background: Airway management in otolaryngology presents unique challenges due to shared airway access, altered anatomy, and specific procedural requirements. This article examines current techniques and oxygenation strategies across various ENT proc...
Videolaryngoscopes may improve intubating conditions in obese patients. A total of 110 patients with a body mass index > 35 kg∙m−2 were prospectively randomized to tracheal intubation using non-channeled Glidescope Titanium or channeled King...
