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

open access: yesAnaesth Rep
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 ...

Comparison of Glidescope Core, C-MAC Miller and conventional Miller laryngoscope for difficult airway management by anesthetists with limited and extensive experience in a simulated Pierre Robin sequence: A randomized crossover manikin study.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2021
BackgroundVideo laryngoscopy is an effective tool in the management of difficult pediatric airway. However, evidence to guide the choice of the most appropriate video laryngoscope (VL) for airway management in pediatric patients with Pierre Robin ...

Difficult Airway Response Team (DART) and Airway Emergency Outcomes: A Retrospective Quality Improvement Study

open access: yesOtolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, Volume 169, Issue 2, Page 325-332, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Objective Difficult airways can be associated with significant morbidity and mortality, particularly in the event of a delay in securing the airway. To improve the airway metrics at our institution, we implemented a multidisciplinary team of airway providers to respond to difficult and emergent airways, or the Difficult Airway Response Team ...

A Randomized Comparison of Non-Channeled GlidescopeTM Titanium Versus Channeled KingVisionTM Videolaryngoscope for Orotracheal Intubation in Obese Patients with BMI > 35 kg·m−2

open access: yesDiagnostics, 2020
Videolaryngoscopes may improve intubating conditions in obese patients. A total of 110 patients with a body mass index > 35 kg∙m−2 were prospectively randomized to tracheal intubation using non-channeled Glidescope Titanium or channeled King Vision ...

Anesthetic management for inhibiting sympathetic activation in an adolescent patient diagnosed with catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia and undergoing left cardiac sympathetic denervation: A case report

open access: yesClinical Case Reports, Volume 11, Issue 7, July 2023., 2023
Key Clinical Message Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is a genetic disorder in which catecholamine release during exercise or emotional stress cause fatal tachyarrhythmias. In this paper, we discuss methods to minimize the sympathetic stimulation that can occur during the perioperative period in patients undergoing left ...

A multicentre randomised controlled trial of the McGrath™ Mac videolaryngoscope versus conventional laryngoscopy

open access: yesAnaesthesia, Volume 78, Issue 6, Page 722-729, June 2023., 2023
Summary Before completion of this study, there was insufficient evidence demonstrating the superiority of videolaryngoscopy compared with direct laryngoscopy for elective tracheal intubation. We hypothesised that using videolaryngoscopy for routine tracheal intubation would result in higher first‐pass tracheal intubation success compared with direct ...

A manikin study comparing the performance of traditional Macintosh laryngoscope, GlideScope®, Airtraq®, and video‐optical intubation stylet in endotracheal intubation used by emergency doctors in simulated difficult airway intubation: A pilot study

open access: yesHong Kong Journal of Emergency Medicine, Volume 30, Issue 3, Page 179-188, May 2023., 2023
Background: The video‐optical intubation stylet (VS) is a slim, rigid but flexible intubating device that aids physicians to intubate patients, particularly with difficult airways. Objectives: The objective of this study was to compare the performance of emergency department doctors in using different intubating devices for intubation in an airway ...

The anesthetic consideration of a gravid patient with osteogenesis imperfecta undergoing cesarean section: A case report.

open access: yesClinical Case Reports, Volume 11, Issue 4, April 2023., 2023
Abstract Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare disorder of bone fragility. Gravid patients with OI usually need cesarean and may present multiple challenges. We present a case of an OI patient with severe scoliosis and an anticipated difficult airway undergoing cesarean section, with details on perioperative assessment and strategy of anesthesia.
