Recent prospective observational study conducted on 224 adult patients undergoing elective videolaryngoscopic intubations ...

The laryngeal mask airway (LMA) has emerged as a pivotal tool in neonatal resuscitation, providing a less invasive alternative to traditional endotracheal intubation. Its design facilitates rapid ...

With univariate logistic regression, the significant factors for prediction of successful first attempt intubation were laryngeal view (OR 55.18, CI 18.87-161.39, p-value <0.001), difficult airway ...

The prevalence of respiratory and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are the main factors driving the rise in ...

The airway management devices market is experiencing significant expansion, driven by increasing prevalence of chronic respiratory diseases, rising surgical procedures, and breakthrough innovations ...

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, the incidence of aspiration with the LMA may be overstated and is less than when intubation is preceded by bag and mask use. 8 LMAs can reduce soiling from upper airway bleeding. 9 High ...

Background Isolated uvular necrosis following endotracheal intubation or laryngeal mask airway (LMA) intubation, first reported in 1978 and 1989, respectively, is a rare complication. 1 2 It is ...

Trumping even ‘the threshold of viability’ and tongue tie, intubation may be the most emotive subject in neonatology. Insertion of an endotracheal tube (ETT) for breathing support proved life saving ...

Intubation is traditionally performed with a laryngoscope, a device that lifts the tongue to allow a direct view of the vocal cords. This is known as direct laryngoscopy. New devices have been ...

Management of the pre-hospital airway can be challenging.1 A range of techniques and adjuncts are available to the pre-hospital clinician to aid in their efforts to maximise oxygenation and support ...
