Combined use of a McGrath® MAC video laryngoscope and Frova Intubating Introducer in a patient with Pierre Robin syndrome: a case report [PDF]
Patients with Pierre Robin syndrome are characterized by micrognathia, retrognathia, glossoptosis, and respiratory obstruction and are prone to have a difficult-to-intubate airway. The McGrath® MAC video laryngoscope provides a better view of the glottis

Endotracheal tube-induced sore throat pain and inflammation is coupled to the release of mitochondrial DNA [PDF]
In the absence of infection, the pathophysiology of endotracheal tube-induced sore throat pain is unclear. Activated neutrophils release elastase, reactive oxygen species, and inflammatory cytokines known to contribute to neuropathic pain. Sterile tissue

Ultrasound confirmation of endotracheal tube placement
Introduction Endotracheal intubation is an important technique in airway management. Although, little experience is present in the use of ultrasound in endotracheal intubation, studies suggest that it is reliable and fast as other usual methods and is a ...

Draft genome sequence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis strain ET-024, isolated from an endotracheal tube biofilm of a mechanically ventilated patient [PDF]
Staphylococcus epidermidis strain ET-024 was isolated from a biofilm on an endotracheal tube of a mechanically ventilated patient. This strain is resistant to methicillin and the draft genome sequence shares some characteristics with other nosocomial S ...
