A Novel Murine Model of Acute Laryngeal Injury After Intubation

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study describes a novel murine model of acute laryngeal injury (ALgI) after intubation. Chemomechanical injury was performed to the posterior glottis of adult mice using a bleomycin‐dipped wire brush under endoscopic guidance, resulting in reduced glottic mobility, increased posterior glottic thickness, and increased collagen expression. This safe,

Comparison of thyromental height test with ratio of height to thyromental distance, thyromental distance, and modified Mallampati test in predicting difficult laryngoscopy: A prospective study

Journal of Anaesthesiology Clinical Pharmacology, 2019
Background and Aims: Preoperative airway assessment to predict patients with difficult laryngoscopy is always crucial for anesthesiologists. Several predictive tests have been studied by various authors in quest of finding the best airway predictor ...

Chinese Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Surgical Treatment of Adult Obstructive Sleep Apnea (2024)

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common chronic disorder characterized by abnormal breathing during sleeping. OSA can damage various organs throughout the body and is burdensome, both socially and economically. Moreover, as OSA has been increasingly studied in recent years, new evidence‐based guidelines for its diagnosis and surgical ...

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.

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 ...

Dysphagia in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Scoping Review

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective There are four phases of swallowing: oral preparatory, oral transit, oropharyngeal, and esophageal. Disruption of any phase(s) can lead to dysphagia. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) children have a high rate of dysphagia compared with neurotypical peers.

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 ...

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.

Development and validation of a regression model with nomogram for difficult video laryngoscopy in Chinese population: a prospective, single-center, and nested case-control study

Frontiers in Medicine, 2023
BackgroundAirway management failure is associated with increased perioperative morbidity and mortality. Airway-related complications can be significantly reduced if difficult laryngoscopy is predicted with high accuracy.

The Value of NBI in the Detection of Local Recurrences of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma After (Chemo)radiotherapy: A Randomised Controlled Trial

Clinical Otolaryngology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Detection of local recurrences after (chemo)radiotherapy (C)RT for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is challenging due to post‐treatment mucosal changes. This study assessed the added diagnostic value of narrow band imaging (NBI) compared to white light imaging (WLI) during rigid endoscopy under general anaesthesia for ...
