Anesthesiologists should not start with the consideration of how to handle difficult intubation, but rather the other variables that affect outcome of patients presenting with impaired cardiopulmonary ...
Across awake tracheal intubations using videolaryngoscopy for suspected difficult airways, the overall success rate was high. Overall or first-attempt success rates did not differ between ...
Standard airway management in deteriorating super morbidly obese patients can lead to cardiovascular collapse because of their poor physiological reserves. In this report, we describe a case of awake ...
Intubation times were significantly faster with the AP Advance laryngoscope than with the GlideScope in mannequins with difficult airways, according to a study published in the Sept. 2011 issue of ...
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 ...
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 ...
Maintaining an open airway is a critical priority in emergency medicine. Without the flow of oxygen, other emergency interventions can become ineffective at saving the patient’s life. However, ...
Limited access to advanced airway training in graduate programs for PAs limits credentialing in this profession. Advanced airway (AA) training is a highly important skill for PAs to be credentialed in ...
