A prospective, pragmatic non-inferiority study of emergency intubation success with the single-use i-view versus standard reusable video laryngoscope
CONCLUSIONS: The i-view device failed to meet our predetermined non-inferiority margin when compared to the reusable VL systems with the study stopping early due to futility. Significant crossover occurred at the discretion of the intubating operator during the i-view month.PMID:38545924 | DOI:10.1111/trf.17790 (Source: Transfusion)

Comparative Evaluation of Direct Laryngoscopy Versus GlideScope for the Purpose of Laryngoscopy Management and Intubation in Candidates of Cesarean Delivery with General Anesthesia
CONCLUSION: It seems that the GSL technique is a better choice to conduct laryngoscopy with more success in intubation and a higher stability of the patients' hemodynamic status.PMID:38525393 | PMC:PMC10958721 | DOI:10.4103/abr.abr_308_21 (Source: Biomed Res)

Long-Term Outcomes of Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Repair/Reconstruction in Oncological Settings
This article aims to convey our experience with RLN resections/injuries and their subsequent effects. We assessed the RLN repairs that our institute had completed from April 2018 to September 2023(5 years and 5 months) including follow-up of minimum 1 year. The Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOSI) was applied to assess dysphagia, aspiration risk, and glottic gap by laryngoscopy, and GRBAS (Grade, Roughness, Breathiness, Asthenia, Strain) comprised the basis for the assessment of voice qualit y by speech specialists. Surgical technique included using 9–0 Ethilon either for primary repair or for repair with a nerve graf...

Oncocytic papillary cystadenoma of the larynx: a case report
ConclusionEctopic minor salivary gland tumors, both benign and malignant, should be taken into consideration as potential differential diagnosis for any swelling arising within the upper digestive tract mucosa. Ears, nose, and throat clinical examination completed by videolaryngoscopy can easily point out the location of the mass. Imaging is mandatory for differential diagnosis and for surgical planning. Surgical excision can provide both diagnosis and definitive cure. (Source: Journal of Medical Case Reports)

Bispectral Index versus the University of Michigan Sedation Scale in assessing sedation depth during pediatric drug-induced sleep endoscopy
CONCLUSION: BIS correlates with UMSS in determining the sedation level during pediatric DISE for two regimens. BIS might serve as an appropriate indicator of sedation intensity when UMSS could not be used.PMID:38499834 | DOI:10.1007/s11325-024-03022-3 (Source: Sleep and Breathing)

Speech-Swallow Dissociation of Velopharyngeal Incompetence with Pseudobulbar Palsy: Evaluation by High-Resolution Manometry
AbstractPatients with pseudobulbar palsy often present with velopharyngeal incompetence. Velopharyngeal incompetence is usually observed during expiratory activities such as speech and/or blowing during laryngoscopy. These patients typically exhibit good velopharyngeal closure during swallowing, which is dissociated from expiratory activities. We named this phenomenon “speech-swallow dissociation” (SSD). SSD on endoscopic findings can help in diagnosing the underlying disease causing dysphagia. This endoscopic finding is qualitative, and the quantitative characteristics of SSD are still unclear. Accordingly, the curren...

Impact of universal use of the McGrath videolaryngoscope as a device for all intubations in the cardiac operating room. A prospective before-after VIDEOLAR-CAR study
Tracheal intubation is a commonly performed procedure both in the operating room for patients requiring general anesthesia during surgical procedures and in critical care settings.1-3 The usual intubation technique in the operating room involves direct laryngoscopy, using a standard Macintosh laryngoscope. However, while the incidence of difficult intubation conditions in the operating room is relatively low, several studies have demonstrated that patients scheduled for cardiac surgery have a higher risk of a poor direct laryngoscopic view compared to those scheduled for general surgery.
