Forces acting on the maxillary incisor teeth during laryngoscopy using the Macintosh laryngoscope [PDF]
We determined the forces on the maxillary incisors during routine laryngoscopy in 65 adult patients. The forces were measured by a strain gauge based sensor positioned between the handle and the blade of the laryngoscope. The mean maximal force acting on

Cost‐Utility Analysis of Intracapsular and Extracapsular Techniques for Pediatric Tonsillectomy
Intracapsular coblation tonsillectomy (ICT) is more cost‐effective than extracapsular tonsillectomy (ECT) in pediatric patients, particularly for ambulatory procedures. In a prospective cohort of over 5000 cases, ICT was associated with lower costs and comparable or better quality‐adjusted life years, even when accounting for potential revision ...

Direct laryngoscopy versus videolaryngoscopy in COVID-19 patient intubation
Introduction: Many COVID-19 patients require ventilation. Direct laryngoscopy is the traditional method used for airway management; however, videolaryngoscopy is an alternative in these patients.

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

The Impact of Estrogen on Stromal Elements in the Proximal Airway in Idiopathic Subglottic Stenosis
ABSTRACT Objectives Idiopathic subglottic stenosis (iSGS) is an unexplained fibrosis of the proximal airway that predominantly impacts Caucasian women. Clinically, premenopausal patients suffer from higher recurrence rates, potentially implicating ovarian hormone 17B‐estradiol (E2) in disease pathogenesis.

C-MAC videolaryngoscope compared with direct laryngoscopy for rapid sequence intubation in an emergency department: A randomised clinical trial [PDF]
BACKGROUND Airway management in the emergency room can be challenging when patients suffer from life-threatening conditions. Mental stress, ignorance of the patient's medical history, potential cervical injury or immobilisation and the presence of vomit

Trends in Laryngology Fellowship Training: A Survey Study of Graduates and Directors
A survey study of laryngology fellowship Graduates and Directors reveals overall high level of confidence in preparedness to practice in the care of most laryngologic disorders. Respondents reported less exposure to swallowing disorders in fellowship with resulting lower confidence to practice independently in this area, despite seeing a good ...

A comparative study of different induction techniques (Propofol-Placebo, Propofol-Ephedrine and Propofol- Placebo-Crystalloid) on intubating conditions after rocuronium administration [PDF]
This was a prospective randomized double blind controlled study to compare intubating conditions at 60 seconds with rocuronium 0.6 mg/kg by using three different induction techniques: propofol-placebo (PP), propofol-ephedrine (PE) and propofol ...
