Summary Introduction The utility of bedside screening tests for the prediction of difficult airways is limited. There is growing interest in the role of point‐of‐care‐ultrasound in airway assessment and management. This systematic review and meta‐analysis aimed to determine the diagnostic utility and clinical application of various upper airway point ...

Using a customizable L stent for laryngotracheal stenosis: Patterns of success and failure
Abstract Background A recent innovation in the management of tracheostomy‐dependent patients with laryngotracheal stenosis (LTS) has been the customizable laryngotracheal stent, made by dividing a T‐tube in half (“L stent”). These L stents can be placed into the subglottis as well as the posterior glottis to prevent rapid re‐stenosis following surgery,

Complex Tracheal Repair after Severe Tracheal Rupture during Percutaneous Dilatational Tracheostomy [PDF]
Percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (PDT) is a frequently performed procedure in long-term intubated patients. Tracheal laceration is a rarely reported but life-threatening complication which often requires emergent surgical repair in order to re ...

Untreated tracheal membrane laceration (TML) may have life‐threatening consequences. We present a case of untreated TML during or after tracheostomy. Air leakage along the cannula after tracheostomy was treated with raising cuff pressure up to > 100 mmHg and enlarging the tracheal lumen in the area of TML.

ABSTRACT In high‐risk patients undergoing emergency tracheostomy, especially with advanced malignancies and comorbidities, vigilant monitoring and immediate management of complications like extensive subcutaneous emphysema are crucial. Prompt intervention and interdisciplinary collaboration are essential to optimize outcomes and effectively address ...
