Comparison of In‐Office and General Anesthesia Biopsies for Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma in a Public Healthcare System

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background We compared treatment delays, costs, and management impact between oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) patients undergoing in‐office versus general anesthesia panendoscopy‐guided biopsies in two large tertiary centers in a public healthcare system. Methods All OPSCC patients included were treated between 2010 and 2024 with

Neck circumference to inter-incisor gap ratio: a new predictor of difficult laryngoscopy in cervical spondylosis patients

BMC Anesthesiology, 2017
Background Preoperative airway assessment help anticipate a difficult airway. We hypothesized that a close association existed between difficult laryngoscopy and the neck circumference/inter-incisor gap ratio (RNIIG). Our aim was to determine its utility

Long‐Term Outcomes of Patients Undergoing Cricothyrotomy at a Tertiary Care Level One Trauma Center

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This retrospective study of 48 patients undergoing emergent cricothyrotomy (2014–2025) evaluated short‐ and long‐term outcomes and complications. Common complications included dysphagia, pneumonia, and dysphonia, with delayed conversion to tracheostomy associated with increased pneumonia risk; long‐term issues included persistent dysphagia, subglottic ...

Technical Skills Development for Medical Students in an Otolaryngology Mentorship Program

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that a longitudinal otolaryngology mentorship program integrating technical skills training can significantly improve both objective performance and self‐reported confidence among medical students. Through faculty mentorship and early exposure to suturing, flexible laryngoscopy, and tympanostomy tube insertion, students ...

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.

Error Traps in Pediatric Neuromuscular Block

Pediatric Anesthesia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Neuromuscular blocking agents are essential for safe pediatric anesthesia but remain a frequent source of preventable morbidity when misused, inadequately monitored, or incompletely reversed. Children, particularly neonates and infants, are especially vulnerable to residual neuromuscular block due to developmental pharmacological ...
