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

open access: yesIndian 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

Tracheal intubation: improving first pass success with smart material solutions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Airway management and intubation procedures continue to challenge anaesthetists. With current equipment not always providing an optimum solution, this can lead to potential serious complications if an airway is not secured quickly. Improvements in airway

Optimizing Odorants for Olfactory Training Based on Olfactory Receptor–Ligand Pair Analysis

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study employs receptor–ligand interaction analysis and olfactory epithelium transcriptomics to optimize olfactory training (OT). A novel four‐odorant combination (galaxolide, eugenol acetate, [−]‐menthol, geranyl acetate) activates 83.9% of 385 human olfactory receptors (ORs), covering 69.9% of estimated OR expression—significantly outperforming ...

A randomized controlled trial to compare the percentage of glottic opening score of McGrath MAC® video laryngoscope and C-MAC® video laryngoscope in children

open access: yesThe Indian Anaesthetists' Forum
Background and Aims: Video laryngoscopes (VL) have now an established role in the management of difficult airway. The design of VL blade may affect the tracheal intubation outcomes.

Redefining Safe Practices in Airway TruBlue Laser Surgery—A Systematic Evaluation

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Using a porcine airway model, we evaluated the safety of the TruBlue laser across multiple FiO2 levels and ventilation techniques. Uncontrolled fire events occurred only when targeting pledgets during high‐flow ventilation, with no incidents observed during jet ventilation, with laser‐safe endotracheal tubes, or during high‐flow ventilation without ...

Comparison of the effectiveness between c-mac d-blade and glidescope for tracheal intubation in patients with cervical spine immobilisation simulated by a semi-rigid collar [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Objective: Among the technique for cervical spine immobilisation is putting on semi-rigid collar but it renders difficult tracheal intubation. In this study, our aim is to compare the effectiveness of two available videolaryngoscopes meant for difficult ...

Vocal Fold Kinematics in Phonotrauma From High Speed Videoendoscopy

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study aimed to quantify vocal fold vibratory kinematics associated with phonotraumatic vocal fold lesions. Results found that individuals with phonotrauma had increased vocal fold closing velocity, evidenced by a higher maximum area declination rate, and increased vibrational amplitude.

Transoral Robotic‐Assisted Removal of a Submucosal Pyriform Sinus Foreign Body

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Submucosal foreign bodies of the medial pyriform sinus represent a challenge given limited visualization and difficult retraction with endoscopic approaches, and risk of injury to the recurrent laryngeal nerve with open approaches. We present a novel case utilizing the Da Vinci SP system for removal of an embedded fishbone from the medial pyriform ...
