The impact of neck flexion on ventilation and glottic visualisation in a child with Treacher Collins syndrome

open access: yesAnaesthesia Reports, Volume 12, Issue 2, July‐December 2024.
Summary We report the airway management of an 11‐year‐old boy with Treacher Collins syndrome. In three instances under general anaesthesia, ventilation via either anaesthesia facemask or supraglottic airway device proved virtually impossible except when the neck was flexed, which runs counter to what is typically observed during routine anaesthetic ...

Feasibility of upright patient positioning and intubation success rates at two academic emergency departments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Objectives Endotracheal intubation is most commonly taught and performed in the supine position. Recent literature suggests that elevating the patient's head to a more upright position may decrease peri-intubation complications.

Comparison of the glidescope, CMAC, storz DCI with the Macintosh laryngoscope during simulated difficult laryngoscopy: a manikin study

open access: yesBMC Anesthesiology, 2012
Background Videolaryngoscopy presents a new approach for the management of the difficult and rescue airway. There is little available evidence to compare the performance features of these devices in true difficult laryngoscopy.
