Perinatal Airway Management Mandibular Anomalies: A National Inpatient Cohort Analysis
Mandibular anomalies can present with airway obstruction at birth and if patency is not quickly established, neonatal hypoxic complications or death occur. Advanced mobilization or airway intervention during sustained placental support can mitigate risk; however, the techniques can increase risks to the pregnant person.

BREAK: Bronchi Reconstruction by gEodesic transformation And sKeleton embedding [PDF]
Airway segmentation is critical for virtual bronchoscopy and computer-aided pulmonary disease analysis. In recent years, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been widely used to delineate the bronchial tree. However, the segmentation results of the CNN-based methods usually include many discontinuous branches, which need manual repair in clinical ...

ABSTRACT Retrograde intubation is a valuable technique for securing the airway in patients with advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma causing airway obstruction. In this case, retrograde intubation enabled successful airway management when conventional methods failed, highlighting its role in complex head and neck cancer cases.

Comparison between lignocaine nebulization and airway nerve block for awake fiberoptic bronchoscopy-guided nasotracheal intubation: a single-blind randomized prospective study [PDF]
Background The preferred management strategy for difficult airways is awake fiberoptic bronchoscopy-guided intubation, which requires effective airway anesthesia to ensure patient comfort and acceptance. This randomized single-blind prospective study was

Two-stage Contextual Transformer-based Convolutional Neural Network for Airway Extraction from CT Images [PDF]
Accurate airway extraction from computed tomography (CT) images is a critical step for planning navigation bronchoscopy and quantitative assessment of airway-related chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The existing methods are challenging to sufficiently segment the airway, especially the high-generation airway, with the constraint of the ...

Abstract This study was to investigate the clinical significance of soluble B7‐dendritic cell (sB7‐DC) concentration in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of children with Refractory Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (RMPP). A total of 298 patients with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP) were enrolled. Patients were divided into general MPP (GMPP) (n

Clinical outcome of bronchoalveolar lavaged COVID ARDS patients
Introduction: One of the biggest pandemics of the human race, Coronavirus disease, has reported mortality rates as high as 80% for critically ill patients. It has killed more than 3.9 million people worldwide with no strongly proven management options to

Endotracheal Actinomycosis Combined With Mucormycosis: A Case Report and Literature Review
We report a case of endobronchial pulmonary actinomycosis complicated with mucormycosis. ABSTRACT Actinomycosis and mucormycosis are rare infections, and their coexistence in a single host is extremely uncommon. Actinomycosis of the trachea is a chronic septic condition caused by actinomycete infection, often misdiagnosed due to the difficulty of ...

Intubation of a Patient with a Large Goiter: The Advantageous Role of Videolaryngoscopy
Fiberoptic bronchoscopy has long been considered the gold standard for patients who present with a difficult airway. In the case presented, a patient has a large palpable goiter and requires intubation. After the unsuccessful attempt to intubate with the
