Airway obstruction by foreign bodies is rarely encountered in the neonatal intensive care unit. The majority of those cases reported are iatrogenic. This paper reports a case of acute airway ...

Use of video rather than direct laryngoscope led to better rates of successful tracheal intubation on the first attempt for critically ill patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) or emergency ...

A team of investigators retrospectively analyzed 346,861 anesthesia cases that involved attempted tracheal intubation from 2004 to 2013 at seven academic centers. Of these, 1427 patients (0.41%) had a ...

The speed and safety of patient intubation procedures look set to be improved with LARi, a low-cost, single-use video stylet that works exactly like conventional intubation stylets used by ...

Whether video laryngoscopy as compared with direct laryngoscopy increases the likelihood of successful tracheal intubation on the first attempt among critically ill adults is uncertain. The trial was ...

Hypoxemia is the most common complication during tracheal intubation of critically ill adults and may increase the risk of cardiac arrest and death. Whether positive-pressure ventilation with a ...

Use of hyperangulated video laryngoscopy reduced the number of attempts needed to achieve endotracheal intubation compared with direct laryngoscopy among adults undergoing elective or emergent ...
