Comparison the effects of intravenous lidocaine and transtracheal lidocaine on hemodynamic changes in patients with hypertension following tracheal intubation: A double blind clinical trial
ConclusionOur results showed that use of lidocaine in hypertensive patients following tracheal intubation can results in a more stable systolic and diastolic blood pressure as well as heart rate. It should be noted that the use of lidocaine for the presence or absence of cardiac dysrhythmias showed no difference among the study groups. (Source: Trends in Anaesthesia and Critical Care)

Videolaryngoscopy utilisation: Facts and opinions
ConclusionWe found less than expected VL use despite good evidence for its benefit. The barriers to use in this group are consistent with existing literature. These perceived barriers must be addressed through education and training to deliver the benefit of regular VL use. (Source: Trends in Anaesthesia and Critical Care)

Opinion article: Blogs and podcasts in medical education
Publication date: Available online 31 August 2019Source: Trends in Anaesthesia and Critical CareAuthor(s): Florian Sacherer, Philipp Zoidl, Michael Eichinger, Gabriel Honnef, Stefan HeschlAbstractWithin the last years new online resources such as blogs and podcasts are making their way into medical education. With the introduction of the internet in the last decades, the field of medical education and training has also changed. Consumption of information independent of time and location through blogs and podcast is now a part of everyday life. The FOAM (“Free Open Access Medical Education”) community in particular is p...

Selective bronchial block with Uniblocker ™ in paediatric pulmonary sequestration
Publication date: Available online 14 August 2019Source: Trends in Anaesthesia and Critical CareAuthor(s): Neus Fuertes Saez, Francisco Escriba Alepuz, Pilar Argente NavarroAbstractTechnological advances and improvements in surgical equipment have made possible minimally invasive surgical methods, which offer multiple advantages for patients [1]. We can find among them Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS). The indications for VATS in children have increased exponentially [2] [2]. It requires the collaboration of the anesthesiologist, who adapts the anesthetic management to achieve correct one lung ventilation. It al...

Techniques and complications of awake fibre-optic intubation – A survey of Difficult Airway Society members
ConclusionAFOI remains the gold standard technique for anticipated difficult airway management, but low case numbers is a cause for concern for skill maintenance and difficult airway training. A wide variation in anaesthetic technique for AFOI may be aided by national guidelines for awake tracheal intubation. (Source: Trends in Anaesthesia and Critical Care)

Airway sonography fails to detect difficult laryngoscopy in an adult Veteran surgical population
This study demonstrated ultrasonography in predicting difficult laryngoscopy lacked utility. Ultrasound utilization as an efficacious means of difficult airway assessment requires further research with a larger sample size. Further studies using sonography on those patients with known difficult airways may provide data to determine if ultrasound has utility in predicting difficult laryngoscopy.

A Comparison of the king vision® and glidescope® video intubation systems in patients at risk for difficult intubation
ConclusionThe GS and KV-NCh performed similarly in facilitating successful tracheal intubation during the first attempt. In contrast, the KV-Ch was less successful overall. (Source: Trends in Anaesthesia and Critical Care)

Use of transnasal humidified rapid-insufflation ventilatory exchange in Electroconvulsive therapy, a tool to increase patient safety in a remote area: A case series
ConclusionIntroducin ukg THRIVE to the Electroconvulsive therapy suite as a unique airway technique maintained adequate oxygen saturation airway patency during the period of apnoea in patients paralyzed. THRIVE also gives an alternative for oxygenation in high risk patients in the ECT suite remote to main theatres. (Source: Trends in Anaesthesia and Critical Care)
