Laryngeal Cryotherapy for Neurogenic Cough: Safety, Feasibility, and Prospective Outcomes

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
A prospective clinical trial investigated the safety and clinical outcomes of office‐based selective laryngeal cryotherapy for patients with refractory chronic cough. Patient were followed for 6 months posttreatment and had durable improvement in cough severity index and urge‐to‐cough scores and no serious long term adverse effects.

MEK Inhibitor Associated Airway Injury in an Infant With Noonan Syndrome: A Case Report

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
An infant with Noonan syndrome treated with trametinib developed extensive mucosal sloughing of the upper and lower airway, followed by severe supraglottic scarring. Clinicians should consider airway toxicity as a potential adverse effect of MEK inhibitor therapy.

The origins of the sniffing position and the Three Axes Alignment Theory for direct laryngoscopy

, 2008
The Three Axes Alignment Theory and the sniffing position for direct laryngoscopy are the anatomical basis for direct laryngoscopy. This position has been one of the hallmarks of airway management and yet its development is based on a small number of ...

Comparison of learning direct laryngoscopy using a McGrath videolaryngoscope as a direct versus indirect laryngoscope: a randomized controlled trial

Journal of International Medical Research, 2021
Objective Tracheal intubation using a direct laryngoscope is difficult to teach. The McGrath videolaryngoscope, a Macintosh-like device with a camera, can be used as a direct laryngoscope to educate novices under supervision using the screen. We compared
