The Application of Airtraq (fibreoptic intubation device) to Otolaryngology

Online Journal of Health & Allied Sciences, 2011
The anaesthetic laryngoscope Airtraq is designed for the difficult airway. This disposable laryngoscope requires minimal cervical manipulation and unlike other common anaesthetic larynmgoscopes contains a channel for the guidance of an endotracheal tube.

Difficult laryngoscopy made easy with a “BURP” [PDF]

Canadian Journal of Anaesthesia, 1993
Displacement of the larynx by backward, upward and rightward pressure on the thyroid cartilage or "BURP" may improve visualization of the glottis in some cases of difficult direct laryngoscopy. In a patient with the Treacher-Collins syndrome in whom conventional laryngoscopy had proved impossible and tracheal intubation extremely difficult, this ...

Transoral Ultrasound in the Diagnostic Workup of Peritonsillar Abscess—A Randomized Clinical Trial

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Peritonsillar abscess frequently mimics peritonsillar cellulitis, exposing many patients to unnecessary and often painful blind needle aspirations. In this multicenter randomized clinical trial of 95 patients, adding transoral ultrasound to standard examination reduced needle aspiration attempts by nearly one third.

Neuromuscular Monitoring of Rocuronium 0.6 mg/kg in Children Aged 3–24 Months With Electromyography and Acceleromyography: An Observational Study

Pediatric Anesthesia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Objective neuromuscular monitoring is essential to prevent residual neuromuscular block in patients receiving neuromuscular blocking agents. However, the small size of pediatric hands and the lack of appropriately sized neuromuscular equipment have made quantitative neuromuscular monitoring at the ulnar nerve (UN) difficult. In such

Evaluation of Thyromental Height Test for Predicting Difficult Laryngoscopy in Morbid Obese Patients Candidate for Bariatric Surgery: An Observational Study

Acta Medica Iranica, 2023
Upper airway management in morbid obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery is a major challenge during induction of anesthesia. Bed side Thyromental Height Test (TMHT) is an easy and valid predictor for prediction of difficult airway in non‑obese ...

Predicting difficult laryngoscopy in acromegalic patients undergoing surgery for excision of pituitary tumors: A comparison of extended Mallampati score with modified Mallampati classification

Journal of Anaesthesiology Clinical Pharmacology, 2013
Background: There are numerous reports of difficult laryngoscopy and intubation in patients with acromegaly. To date, no study has assessed the application of extended Mallampati score (EMS) for predicting difficult intubation in acromegalics.

Active Emergency Management of Adult Acute Epiglottitis: An Analysis of 570 Cases

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Acute epiglottitis, which is primarily caused by bacterial infection, can quickly progress to life‐threatening airway obstruction. The first 24 h after symptom onset is a critical window for management. However, few studies have evaluated the effect of emergency management during this period or have identified the factors that ...
