Point‐of‐care ultrasound of the upper airway in difficult airway management: a systematic review and meta‐analysis*

open access: yesAnaesthesia, Volume 80, Issue 12, Page 1556-1567, December 2025.
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

open access: yesWorld Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, Volume 11, Issue 3, Page 462-467, September 2025.
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,

Posterior Tracheal Wall Laceration Following Tracheostomy: A Progressive Nightmare Under Long‐Term Ventilation, Requiring Complex Repair With vvECMO Support—A Case Report

open access: yesCase Reports in Critical Care, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
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.

The role of routine FIBERoptic bronchoscopy monitoring during percutaneous dilatational TRACHeostomy (FIBERTRACH): a study protocol for a randomized, controlled clinical trial

open access: yesTrials, 2021
Background Tracheostomy is one of the most frequent techniques in intensive care units (ICU). Fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FB) is a safety measure when performing a percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (PDT), but the controversy surrounding the routine use
