Who Needs Endoscopic Removal of Food Residue From the Esophagus Before Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy for Esophageal Achalasia and Esophagogastric Junction Outflow Obstruction?

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is an established treatment for esophageal achalasia. Despite favorable outcomes, the risk of reflux aspiration during general anesthesia induction in POEM remains a concern.

A prospective randomized crossover manikin study comparing GlideScope® video laryngoscopy and direct laryngoscopy for impacted fish bone removal in a simulated difficult airway

Hong Kong Journal of Emergency Medicine, Volume 33, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract Background Fish bone ingestion is a common emergency presentation. Direct laryngoscopy (DL) is the conventional bedside technique, but it can be limited in anatomically challenging airways. Video laryngoscopy (VL) improves glottic visualization for intubation, yet its role in foreign body retrieval is unclear. Because difficult airway features
