Videolaryngoscopy versus direct laryngoscopy for adult patients requiring tracheal intubation: a Cochrane Systematic Review†

British Journal of Anaesthesia, 2017
Difficulties with tracheal intubation commonly arise and impact patient safety. This systematic review evaluates whether videolaryngoscopes reduce intubation failure and complications compared with direct laryngoscopy in adults.

Ventilation challenge in rigid bronchoscopy: Laser tube as an alternative management in patients with lung cancer and central airway obstruction

Thoracic Cancer, Volume 14, Issue 1, Page 24-29, January 2023., 2023
The use of the laser tube allows the monitoring of gas exchange, which controls hypoxemia. Thanks to the double cuff put distally to the tracheal obstruction or in the contralateral bronchus to the obstructed one, the laser tube prevents the flooding of blood from debulking below the stenosis.

Localizing the Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve via Ultrasound with a Bayesian Shape Framework [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Tumor infiltration of the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) is a contraindication for robotic thyroidectomy and can be difficult to detect via standard laryngoscopy. Ultrasound (US) is a viable alternative for RLN detection due to its safety and ability to provide real-time feedback.

Effect of preoperative dexmedetomidine nebulization on the hemodynamic response to laryngoscopy and intubation: a randomized control trial

Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2020
Background Dexmedetomidine, an alpha-2 agonist, has been used for attenuation of hemodynamic response to laryngoscopy but not through the nebulized route.

Is Office Laryngoscopy an Aerosol‐Generating Procedure?

The Laryngoscope, 2020
The aims of this work were 1) to investigate whether office laryngoscopy is an aerosol‐generating procedure with an optical particle sizer (OPS) during clinical simulation on healthy volunteers, and 2) to critically discuss methods for assessment of ...

Anterior neck soft tissue measurements on computed tomography to predict difficult laryngoscopy: a retrospective study

Scientific Reports, 2021
Predicting difficult laryngoscopy is an essential component of the airway management. We aimed to evaluate the use of anterior neck soft tissue measurements on computed tomography for predicting difficult laryngoscopy and to present a clear measurement ...

Bronchoscopy, laryngoscopy, and esophagoscopy during the COVID‐19 pandemic

Head and Neck, 2020
The United States now has the highest death toll due to COVID‐19. Many otolaryngology procedures, including laryngoscopy, bronchoscopy, and esophagoscopy, place otolaryngologists at increased risk of coronavirus transmission due to close contact with ...

Video Laryngoscopy Versus Direct Laryngoscopy in Novices: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Acta Medica Iranica
Intubating the trachea is a challenging task, especially for novice intubators. Successful intubation, in the shortest possible time, prevents hypoxia and hemodynamic disturbances.

Predicting difficult laryngoscopy in morbidly obese Thai patients by ultrasound measurement of distance from skin to epiglottis: a prospective observational study

BMC Anesthesiology, 2022
Background In morbidly obese patients, airway management is challenging since the incidence of difficult intubation is three times than those with a BMI within the healthy range.

Videolaryngoscopy versus direct laryngoscopy for adult patients requiring tracheal intubation.

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2016
BACKGROUND Successful tracheal intubation during general anaesthesia traditionally requires a line of sight to the larynx attained by positioning the head and neck and using a laryngoscope to retract the tongue and soft tissues of the floor of the mouth.
