Difficulties or failures in securing the airway still occur and can lead to permanent disabilities and mortality. Patients with head and neck pathologies obstructing airway access are at risk of airwa...
Studies in adults have reported that video laryngoscope is more useful than direct laryngoscope when training less experienced anesthesiologists. However, whether this is true for infants remains uncl...
Medical records and video recordings from the operating room of patients aged < 1 year who underwent non-cardiac surgery between March 2019 and September 2021 were reviewed. Tracheal intubations betwe...
In total, 125 of 175 tracheal intubations were analyzed (direct laryngoscope group, n = 72; video laryngoscope group, n = 53). The first-time tracheal intubation success rate increased with years of e...
The differences in success rate according to the anesthesiologists' years of experience were non-significant when using video laryngoscope in infants, compared to those in direct laryngoscope....
In laryngeal microsurgery, the insertion of the suspension laryngoscope is a strong stimulus that may cause hemodynamic fluctuations and adverse cardiovascular events. The purpose of this study was to...
In this double-blind randomized controlled trial, patients undergoing general anesthesia for laryngeal microsurgery were randomly assigned (1:1) to esketamine 0.5 mg kg...
During the insertion of suspension laryngoscope, the incidence of bradycardia (HR < 60 beats/min) was 39.3% (22/56) in esketamine group, lower than 60.0% (33/55) in sufentanil group (odds ratio [OR], ...
These findings showed that compared with preemptive treatment of sufentanil (0.125 μg kg...

In cervical spine injuries, there is an impairment in positioning of the patient to maintain the airway axis during endotracheal intubation (ETI). Literature shows video laryngoscope (VLS) facilitatin...
One hundred and fifty patients were randomly divided into three groups depending on laryngoscope used for ETI. Group M, Group V, and Group MC used Macintosh, VL3, and MC laryngoscopic blades, respecti...
IDS was statistically significantly least (0.9 ± 1.5) with VL3 VLS compared to direct laryngoscopy with Macintosh and MC blades. There was significantly no difference in IT among the three groups. Ins...
VL3 VLS can be used for ETI during cervical immobilization using RCC. More studies are needed to define its efficacy in different difficult airway situations compared with different VLS....
Bulbar symptoms in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are variable, reflecting bulbar and pseudobulbar palsy. The current study sought to characterize the pharyngeal findings in ALS using a fiberopti...
We enrolled ALS patients with bulbar symptoms who were admitted between 2014 and 2020. All participants were evaluated on salivary status, velopharyngeal movement during speech and swallowing, pharyng...
A total of 50 patients (31 men; median age: 69 years) were enrolled. Salivary residue in the hypopharynx was the most common abnormal finding on laryngoscopy (40 patients; 80%). Twenty-three patients ...
The specific findings of laryngoscopy in ALS patients, such as SSD in velopharyngeal closure and laterality in pharyngeal constriction, could not be evaluated by general neurological examination via t...
To compare the effectiveness of disinfection protocols utilizing a ultraviolet (UV) Smart D60 light system with Impelux™ technology with a standard Cidex ortho-phthalaldehyde (OPA) disinfection protoc...
Two hundred FFLs were tested for bacterial contamination after routine use, and another 200 FFLs were tested after disinfection with one of four methods: enzymatic detergent plus Cidex OPA (standard),...
After routine use, approximately 56% (112/200) of FFLs were contaminated, with an average contamination level of 9,973.7 ± 70,136.3 CFU/mL. The standard reprocessing method showed no positive cultures...
Disinfection protocols utilizing UV Smart D60 were as effective as the standard chemical disinfection protocol using Cidex OPA....

Consumption of single-use medical devices has increased considerably, contributing to the excessive wastage produced during surgical procedures. The present study aimed to describe a methodology to as...
The ecological analysis was based on the life cycle assessment method. Based on 30 operating rooms in a single tertiary university hospital, the economic analysis compared the usual SUB supplier with ...
In 2021, 17,200 intubations were performed requiring about 147 RUBs. Switching from SUB to RUB led to an annual saving of 26.5 tons of CO...
In a model of 17,200 intubations /year, switching SUD to RUB would save 26.5 tons of CO...
To compare the effect of the use of a video laryngoscope versus a direct laryngoscope on each step of emergency intubation: laryngoscopy (step 1) and intubation of the trachea (step 2)....
In a secondary observational analysis of data from 2 multicenter, randomized trials that enrolled critically ill adults undergoing tracheal intubation but did not control for laryngoscope type (video ...
We analyzed 1,786 patients: 467 (26.2%) in the direct laryngoscope group and 1,319 (73.9%) in the video laryngoscope group. The use of a video laryngoscope was associated with an improved grade of vie...
Among critically ill adults undergoing tracheal intubation, the use of a video laryngoscope was associated both with a better view of the vocal cords and with a higher probability of successfully intu...
Recently, a non-commercial oxygenation laryngoscope was able to maintain apneic oxygenation during simulated intubation efforts. Since that prototype was 3 mm wider than a standard Macintosh laryngosc...
In this simulation study using a standardized human airway manikin, the efficacy of apneic oxygenation by oxygen insufflation using standard and modified Macintosh blades was compared: a standard Maci...
Oxygen percentage in the test lung dropped from 100 ± 0% at the start of the experiment to 53 ± 1.5% in the room air control group (p < 0.001 compared to all other groups), and to 74 ± 2.5% in the pro...
In this simulation study with a preoxygenated airway manikin, the use of a modified Macintosh laryngoscope blade with oxygen line attached at the tip or at the middle were able to maintain apneic oxyg...
