An ever‐increasing number of adult and pediatric disorders have been shown to be influenced or caused by airway reflux. This has become a controversial and complicated aspect of medicine that requires a multidisciplinary approach. Evidence indicates that it is not only the acidic components of gastric refluxate that injure extraesophageal tissues but ...

Airway edema potentiates airway reactivity
Journal of Applied Physiology, 1995Thickening of the airway wall has been hypothesized to be one of the mechanisms contributing to airway hyperresponsiveness in asthma. If such thickening of the wall is internal to the airway smooth muscle or otherwise causes a decrease in baseline airway caliber, it should also cause exaggerated airway responsiveness.

Current Opinion in Anaesthesiology, 2004
In this article we will summarize the available information on airways that have been suggested to provide a conduit for the bronchoscope in its passage through the upper airway during fibreoptic intubation.The Williams Airway Intubator and the Berman Oropharyngeal Airway appear to be more likely to provide a conduit for the bronchoscope than the ...

Anatomy of the Airway/Airway Management
2017This chapter reviews upper airway anatomy and airway management. One of the most difficult aspects in clinical anesthesia is the consistent identification of patients in whom airways are likely to be challenging to secure. The act of securing the airway involves multiple steps, viz.: positioning, face mask ventilation, visualization of the vocal cords,

International Anesthesiology Clinics, 2000 The difficult airway, although rare, still occurs with a frequency sufficient to require that all personnel associated with airway management be familiar with methods to use when confronted with a challenging airway. Methods of airway assessment are helpful but lack adequate sensitivity and specificity.

Combined airways: impact of upper airway on lower airway
Current Opinion in Otolaryngology & Head & Neck Surgery, 2010This article reviews recent literature on the important relationship between the nose, paranasal sinuses and lungs. Recent advances in the understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the association between upper and lower airways are discussed.Epidemiological, clinical, and immunopathological data demonstrate an important link ...

Chest Surgery Clinics of North America, 2001
Various airway pathologies may result in central airway obstruction. For patients who have benign and malignant disease, definitive surgical correction by tracheobronchial resection and reconstruction is preferred. Numerous patients, however, have unresectable airway lesions owing to the extent of disease or to medical or surgical contraindications ...

Laryngeal mask airway and the difficult airway
Current Opinion in Anaesthesiology, 2004To present recent advances in the role of the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) and its newer modifications in the management of difficult airway.The principles of management of a difficult airway remain the same, but the advent of the intubating LMA (ILMA) and Proseal LMA (PLMA) has provided a better choice in such situations.

Radiology of the airways with emphasis on the small airways
Journal of Thoracic Imaging, 1986The anatomy and pathophysiology of obstructive airways diseases are reviewed, with emphasis on the pivotal functional roles of the respiratory and terminal bronchioles. The array of radiologic findings associated with abnormal airways, large or small, is correlated with gross pathologic changes, using surgical and autopsy cases.

Emergency Airway Management: the Difficult Airway
Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 2012Patients requiring airway management in the emergency department present an enormous challenge. It requires not only a firm concept of techniques for securing the airway but also of dealing with the potential difficult airway (DA) in which establishing a definite airway is not possible with techniques routinely used.
