Impulse Configuration in Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation in Obstructive Sleep Apnea: The Effect of Modifying Pulse Width and Frequency

Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, EarlyView., 2021
Abstract Objectives Hypoglossal nerve stimulation is an effective treatment option for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in positive airway pressure therapy failure. Nonetheless, data regarding the functional effect of modifying stimulation parameters within each electrode configuration are limited.

Comparison of Macintosh, McCoy, Truview EVO2, and King Vision Laryngoscopes for Intubation in Patients with Immobilized Cervical Spine: A Randomized, Controlled Trial

Bali Journal of Anesthesiology, 2022
Background: Immobilization of the neck in cervical spine injury patients can lead to misalignment of the oral, pharyngeal, and laryngeal axis, thereby making intubation more difficult.

Comparative evaluation of Airtraq™ optical Laryngoscope and Miller's blade in paediatric patients undergoing elective surgery requiring tracheal intubation: A randomized, controlled trial

Indian Journal of Anaesthesia, 2017
Background and Aims: The Airtraq™ optical laryngoscope is the only marketed videolaryngoscope for paediatric patients besides the fibre-optic bronchoscope. We hypothesized that intubation would be easier with Airtraq™ compared to Miller blade. Hence, we

A novel video laryngoscope for the use in hypoxemic COVID-19 patients: a case report.

Critical Care Innovations, 2021
Critically ill COVID-19 patients require endotracheal intubations due to hypoxemic respiratory failure. These patients tend to desaturate fast especially during the intubation.

Macintosh laryngoscope vs. Pentax-AWS video laryngoscope: comparison of efficacy and cardiovascular responses to tracheal intubation in major burn patients [PDF]

Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2012
BackgroundPatients with major burns accompanied with airway edema need more attention for airway management. Although the Pentax-AWS has an advantage in managing endotracheal intubation more easily, its usefulness cannot be assured if it does not ...

Validation of the TruBlue Light Laser for Laryngeal Somatosensory and Perturbation Testing

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study validates a blue light laser method for assessing laryngeal somatosensory function by measuring perceptual thresholds, reflexive responses, discrimination acuity, and vocal perturbations in healthy adults. Results demonstrate that the method provides precise, reliable stimulation and yields quantifiable sensory and acoustic responses ...

Comparison of VividTrac, King Vision and Macintosh laryngoscopes in normal and difficult airways during simulated cardiopulmonary resuscitation among novices.

PLoS ONE, 2021
IntroductionEarly endotracheal intubation improves neurological outcomes in cardiopulmonary resuscitation, although cardiopulmonary resuscitation is initially carried out by personnel with limited experience in a significant proportion of cases ...

Comparison of Paraglossal Technique of Miller Blade Insertion with McCoy and Macintosh Adult Laryngoscopes on the Cormack–Lehane Grade in Patients with Simulated Restricted Neck Mobility—A Randomized Control Trial

Journal of Neuroanaesthesiology and Critical Care
Background The paucity in round-the-clock availability of advanced tools like flexible bronchoscopes and video laryngoscopes makes it preferable to have alternative easily available gadgets for securing the airway in patients with cervical ...

The Impact of Etiology on Time to Vocal Fold Motion Recovery in Unilateral Vocal Fold Paralysis

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
The time course of vocal fold motion recovery in UVFP reflects the underlying etiologies. This study showed that there was no difference in the time to recovery between UVFP from cardiothoracic versus thyroid/parathyroid surgeries, challenging the long‐held assumption that recovery time is proportional to the distance between injury site and larynx ...
