Design and Development of Novel Airway Device for Transoral Respiratory Monitoring During Sedation

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This article describes iterative design factors and results of clinical testing for a novel medical device that promotes transoral respiratory gas exchange for patients during sedation. A minimally viable prototype was 3D printed from thermoplastic polyurethane and demonstrated high levels of oral retention, gas exchange, and satisfaction among ...

Maxillomandibular Advancement Outcomes in Obstructive Sleep Apnea by Age and Gender

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This systematic review and meta‐analysis of 36 studies (608 patients) found that maxillomandibular advancement significantly improves polysomnographic, cephalometric, and subjective measures of obstructive sleep apnea across both sexes and throughout the lifespan. Odds of surgical cure decline roughly 3% per year of age.

Intraoperative Bradycardia: Evaluating Vasovagal Events in Adult Suspension Microlaryngeal Surgery

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This retrospective single‐surgeon cohort study of 190 adults undergoing suspension microlaryngoscopy found that 8.9% (17/190) developed significant intraoperative bradycardia consistent with a vasovagal response (VVR). No demographic, comorbidity, or procedural factors were significantly associated with VVR, though most affected patients required ...

Differences in the Evaluation and Diagnosis of Obstructive Sleep Apnea by Sex: A Systematic Review

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This systematic review of 33 studies found that females with obstructive sleep apnea generally presented at an older age and with higher BMI, whereas males generally had greater neck circumference and apnea‐hypopnea index. These findings highlight clinically relevant sex‐based differences in OSA evaluation and support more individualized approaches to ...
