A comparison of airway management devices in simulated entrapment-trauma: a prospective manikin study

International Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2019
Introduction In the patient entrapped after a motor vehicle collision (MVC), advanced airway management may need to be performed before extrication. The aim of this study was to compare four airway management devices utilized by paramedics in a simulated

Teaching tracheal intubation: Airtraq is superior to Macintosh laryngoscope [PDF]

BMC Medical Education, 2014
Tracheal intubation with Macintosh laryngoscope is taught to medical students as it is a lifesaving procedure. However, it is a difficult technique to learn and the consequences of intubation failure are potentially serious. The Airtraq optical laryngoscope is a relatively novel intubation device, which allows visualization of the glottic plane without

J‐Shaped Guidewire‐Assisted Nasotracheal Intubation in the Dental Treatment of Children—A Retrospective, Observational Study

Pediatric Anesthesia, Volume 36, Issue 3, Page 310-315, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background The challenges of nasotracheal intubation (NTI) often arise from the misalignment of the oral, pharyngeal, and laryngeal axes. We sought to assess the success and complication rate of an economically reusable J‐shaped stainless‐steel guidewire for NTI during dental treatment in children.

In reply: Is Airwayscope more effective than Macintosh laryngoscope? [PDF]

Journal of Anesthesia, 2014
To the Editor: We thank Dr. Xue and colleagues [1] for interest in our manuscript. They claim that the utility of the Pentax-AWS Airwayscope (AWS) in our simulation was not clinically validated, which is inaccurate for the following reasons. We performed our study in ‘in-hospital’ cardiac arrest simulation, which is apparently different from other ...

Forces acting on the maxillary incisor teeth during laryngoscopy using the Macintosh laryngoscope [PDF]

, 1994
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

Acute Negative Pressure Pulmonary Edema (NPPE) in a 14‐Year‐Old Boy Following Laparoscopic Appendectomy—A Clinical Challenge and a Proposal for Mechanical Ventilation

Case Reports in Critical Care, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Negative pressure pulmonary edema (NPPE) is a rare but potentially life‐threatening complication resulting from the generation of markedly negative intrathoracic pressure in response to upper airway obstruction (UAO). This leads to disruption of the alveolar–capillary barrier and transudation of fluid into the alveolar spaces.
