Early Distraction in Neonates With a Bioresorbable Plate for Bilateral Vocal Fold Immobility

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
We describe a novel surgical technique in two neonates with idiopathic bilateral vocal fold immobility (BVFI) using early posterior cricoid distraction with placement of a poly‐l‐lactic acid (PLLA) bioresorbable plate to improve the glottic aperture. Both patients experienced complete resolution of stridor and achieved full oral feeding within 2 weeks,

Difficult tracheal extubation [PDF]

Canadian Journal of Anaesthesia, 1989
We describe a case of nasotracheal tube fixation with a screw. A second case is described in which a broken drill bit was found to impinge on the wall but not penetrate into the lumen of a nasotracheal tube. Possible sequelae of this complication include airway leak, aspiration, tube obstruction, and trauma from attempts at forceful extubation.

Single‐dose enflicoxib versus a 7‐day course of firocoxib for postoperative pain control in dogs undergoing orthopaedic surgery: A multicentre, randomised, masked, non‐inferiority study

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Perioperative analgesia is essential in dogs undergoing orthopaedic surgery, and enflicoxib's long duration makes single‐dose administration attractive. Methods A prospective, multicentre, randomised, masked trial compared enflicoxib (8 mg/kg) given 24 hours before surgery with firocoxib (5 mg/kg) given daily for 7 days. Two hundred
