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.

Airway consideration in cleft patients-challenges and approaches

open access: yesJournal of Cleft Lip Palate and Craniofacial Anomalies, 2022
Over the last few decades, there is a paramount shift in the implementation of pediatric anesthesia. Although for most of the time, difficult airway scenarios are well-planned and executed, occasionally an unanticipated difficult situation may still ...

adrenal glands using the convex curvilinear EBUS scope. In this retrospective case series, the EBUS scope was systematically used by the same operator in the same procedure for both mediastinal and extrathoracic staging in 6 consecutive patients with suspected (or known) cancers and enlarged left adrenal glands based on CT scans, showing favorable ...

Multimodal Soft Surgical Robots Enabled by Eco‐Degradable, Sterilizable Polymers and Transient Electronics

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A compostable PGS soft surgical robot with interchangeable modules integrates transient Mo tactile and Si thermal sensors for dual feedback. The device preserves its function after clinical‐grade sterilization, demonstrates stable actuation and cardiac tissue grasping with real‐time in vivo pulsatile monitoring, and biodegrades post‐use with soil‐safe,

Rapid Fabrication of Self‐Propelled and Steerable Magnetic Microcatheters for Precision Medicine

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A rapid Joule heating fabrication method for the production of self‐propelling, adaptive microcatheters, with tunable stiffness and integrated microfluidic channels is presented. Demonstrated through three microrobotic designs, including a steerable guiding catheter, an untethered wave‐crawling TubeBot, and a distal‐end propelled microcatheter, it was ...

Toward Wireless Implantable Robotic Systems Driven by Magnetic Field for Personalized Therapy

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Robotic materials are playing an increasingly vital role in enabling sensing and actuation at small scales. This perspective highlights recent advances in magnetic materials and magnetically actuated devices for wireless sensing, actuation, and energy harvesting toward implantable robotic systems for closed‐loop therapy.

Anesthetic management of a patient of multinodular goiter with retrosternal extension presenting with obstructive sleep apnea for total thyroidectomy

open access: yesMedical Journal of Dr. D.Y. Patil Vidyapeeth, 2018
Multinodular goiter (MNG), one of the disorders of the thyroid gland, is often detected as a mass in the neck, but sometimes produces pressure symptoms. We present successful anesthetic management of a case of an obese woman having MNG with retrosternal ...

Bronchoscopic diagnosis of sarcoidosis [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Respiratory Journal, 1997
Transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB), transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) of mediastinal lymph nodes and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) are routinely performed at fibreoptic bronchoscopy. Up to the present time, no data have been available on the efficacy of performing all three of these procedures simultaneously in the bronchoscopic work-up of ...

Hybrid Continuum Robot Designs and Architectures for Healthcare Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Hybrid continuum robots represent an emerging class of flexible manipulators that blend materials, structures, and actuation concepts from the established fields of soft and continuum robotics. This review introduces an accessible framework to distinguish key hybridization approaches, surveys current designs aimed at complex clinical applications, and ...
