Hyperangulated blades or direct epiglottis lifting to optimize glottis visualization in difficult Macintosh videolaryngoscopy: a non-inferiority analysis of a prospective observational study [PDF]
Frontiers in Medicine, 2023 PurposeIt is unknown if direct epiglottis lifting or conversion to hyperangulated videolaryngoscopes, or even direct epiglottis lifting with hyperangulated videolaryngoscopes, may optimize glottis visualization in situations where Macintosh ...

Airway coach project: development of a machine learning–based model using clinical and ultrasound parameters to support videolaryngoscopy strategy [PDF]
BMC AnesthesiologyBackground Videolaryngoscopy (VL) is recommended as a first-line technique for tracheal intubation; however, existing airway assessment tools—largely derived from direct laryngoscopy—provide limited guidance for videolaryngoscopy-specific decisions such ...

Diagnostic value of the percentage of glottic opening score for classifying videolaryngoscopy in children: a prospective validation study [PDF]
Anaesthesia, Volume 81, Issue 9, Page 1228-1235, September 2026.Summary Introduction The percentage of glottic opening (POGO) score quantifies the laryngeal view obtained during laryngoscopy. This secondary analysis of the prospective observational PeDiAC study aimed to compare the POGO score with subjective glottic view ratings on a visual analogue scale (VAS) for classifying difficult videolaryngoscopic tracheal ...

Comparison of SEEKflex/videolaryngoscopy and fibreoptic bronchoscope for awake tracheal intubation: a randomized clinical trial [PDF]
BMC AnesthesiologyBackground Fibreoptic bronchoscope (FOB) is considered complex to learn and operate, and it remains controversial whether videolaryngoscopy can be used as an alternative to FOB for awake tracheal intubation (ATI).

Safer prehospital anaesthesia: updated guidelines from the Association of Anaesthetists [PDF]
Anaesthesia, Volume 81, Issue 8, Page 1132-1147, August 2026.Summary Introduction Prehospital emergency anaesthesia is recognised as a high‐risk clinical intervention. These updated guidelines consider changes in prehospital practice and parallel changes in the practice of in‐hospital emergency anaesthesia, with the aim of encouraging standardised safe anaesthetic practice in a challenging clinical area.
