Airway devices for awake tracheal intubation in adults:a systematic review and network meta-analysis

open access: yes, 2021
Background: Awake tracheal intubation is commonly performed with flexible bronchoscopes, but the emerging role of alternative airway devices, such as videolaryngoscopes, direct laryngoscopes, and optical stylets, has been recognised.

Bronchoscopy Robot with Enhanced Flexibility and Stability via Multi‐Segment Variable Stiffness Catheter

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work presents a magnetic bronchoscopy robot with a novel multi‐segment variable stiffness catheter. This catheter can not only move flexibly in the narrow bronchi but also harden according to the need to provide support. Combined with remote wireless magnetic field drive, it provides a more precise and effective solution for biopsy of deep lung ...
