Should the Glidescope video laryngoscope be used first line for all oral intubations or only in those with a difficult airway? A review of current literature [PDF]
The purpose of this study was to review literature that looked into the efficacy of the Glidescope video laryngoscope versus the Macintosh laryngoscope in oral endotracheal intubations.

Objective: Successful endotracheal intubation is a key step in advanced airway management. The gold standard confirmation for successful endotracheal intubation is end-tidal carbon dioxide (etCO2) monitoring, although recent studies suggest that ...

Domain Adaptive Sim-to-Real Segmentation of Oropharyngeal Organs Towards Robot-assisted Intubation [PDF]
Robotic-assisted tracheal intubation requires the robot to distinguish anatomical features like an experienced physician using deep-learning techniques. However, real datasets of oropharyngeal organs are limited due to patient privacy issues, making it challenging to train deep-learning models for accurate image segmentation.

Feasibility of Remote Landmark Identification for Cricothyrotomy Using Robotic Palpation [PDF]
Cricothyrotomy is a life-saving emergency intervention that secures an alternate airway route after a neck injury or obstruction. The procedure starts with identifying the correct location (the cricothyroid membrane) for creating an incision to insert an endotracheal tube.

How to remove an endotracheal tube [PDF]
Rationale and key points The decision to remove an endotracheal tube (extubation) is taken when the patient achieves adequate airway control. This requires an effective cough and an acceptable level of consciousness.

A Markov Chain Model for COVID19 in Mexico City [PDF]
This paper presents a model for COVID19 in Mexico City. The data analyzed were considered from the appearance of the first case in Mexico until July 2021. In this first approximation the states considered were Susceptible, Infected, Hospitalized, Intensive Care Unit, Intubated, and Dead.

Real-time video streaming in vivo using ultrasound as the communication channel [PDF]
The emergence of capsule endoscopy has provided a means of capturing video of the small intestines without having to resort to an invasive procedure involving intubation. However, real-time video streaming to a receiver outside the body remains challenging for capsule endoscopy.

A Simple, Inexpensive, and Effective Light- Carrying Laryngoscopic Blade for Orotracheal Intubation of Rats [PDF]
The research paradigm of using large laboratory animals, in which oroendotracheal intubations are relatively easy, is shifting toward the use of small animals, such as rodents, in which oropharyngeal access is limited, the arytenoid cartilage cycles are ...
