Feasibility of quality indicators on prehospital advanced airway management in a physician-staffed emergency medical service: survey-based assessment of the provider point of view
Conclusions Collection of QIs on PAAM appears feasible. Electronic medical records and technological solutions facilitating automatic collection of vital parameters and timing during the procedure could improve the reliability of data collection for some QIs. Studies in other services are needed to determine the external validity of our results. (Source: BMJ Open)

Upper Aerodigestive Tract Endoscopy Combining Rigid Laryngoscopy and Flexible Endoscopy
Surg Innov. 2024 Mar 6:15533506241238870. doi: 10.1177/15533506241238870. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTUpper Aerodigestive Tract Endoscopy (UATE) is recommended for initial examination of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas. Reducing delay of initial examination must be a challenge to manage head and neck cancers. We hereby describe the technic combining UATE and flexible endoscopy in a unique general anesthesia with overview of hypopharyngeal, larygeal, tracheal, esophageal, nasopharyngeal sub sites in a unique procedure with system of magnificense and to perform percutaneous gastrostomy during the same time before in...

Impact of Adjuvant Radiotherapy Setting on Quality-of-Life in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma
CONCLUSION: This study revealed that HNSCC patients treated with radiation at AMCs reported significantly greater phys-QoL in their first-year post-treatment compared to those treated at CMCs, but soc-QoL did not differ significantly. Further observational studies are needed to explore potential factors, including treatment planning and cancer resource engagement, behind disparities between AMCs and CMCs.LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Step 3 Laryngoscope, 2024.PMID:38436503 | DOI:10.1002/lary.31382 (Source: Health Physics)

Incidental Laryngeal Findings in Routine Laryngopharyngeal Reflux Diagnosis
CONCLUSIONS: Evaluation of LPR symptoms may provide otolaryngologists with a tool to identify patients with other findings on fiberoptic laryngoscopy. A laryngoscopic examination should be part of the examination of every patient with LPR to enable diagnosis of incidental findings.PMID:38420641 (Source: The Israel Medical Association Journal)
