Recent prospective observational study conducted on 224 adult patients undergoing elective videolaryngoscopic intubations with a Macintosh blade evaluated the first-pass success rate of intubations ...

Patients undergoing tracheostomy presented more extubation failures and longer intubation periods. Eight (21%) developed laryngeal stenosis, and 17 (58.6%) had complete resolution on follow-up.

Difficult mask ventilation and laryngeal mask airway (LMA) use were not encountered in patient records. Airway intervention was not required in five patients (four with tracheostomy, one was already ...

A bag-valve device may be used with any airway adjunct, such as tracheal tube, laryngeal mask airway, or esophageal-tracheal Combitube. Proper use of these combinations requires training, practice, ...

An intubation mechanism is designed based on laryngeal mask, which is attached to the end of the robot. A corresponding robot teleoperation control system is established according to the ...

Objective To assess whether laryngeal mask airway (LMA) as compared with face mask (FM) or endotracheal intubation (ETT) is more effective in delivering positive pressure ventilation (PPV) during ...

Introduction The SaCoVLM is a new type of video intubating laryngeal mask airway (LMA), and it is the first LMA to realise continuous visual monitoring. There is a lack of studies on intubation using ...

However, surfactant therapy has traditionally required intubation and mechanical ventilation which can itself lead to lung injury. As a result, there are ongoing efforts to pursue non-invasive methods ...
