Industry payments to academic neurosurgeons in 2021: an open payments cross-sectional analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Neurosurgery has been rated by many as a field fueled by research, innovation, and technology. In 2021, academic neurosurgeons had a strong relationship with the medical device and pharmaceutical industry as reflected in the OPP data. While the true impact on patient care cannot be directly measured, the advancement of the field relies heavily on these collaborations.PMID:38626469 | DOI:10.3171/2024.1.JNS232321 (Source: Journal of Neurosurgery)

Here, a wider concept of sustainability is introduced for medical devices and their components in healthcare provision. Such devices sustain healthcare and patient wellbeing due to their quality specifications for material composition, product design and performance.

A Tracheostomy Support Device to Reduce Tracheostomy-Related Pressure Injury
CONCLUSIONS: Despite best clinical practice, pressure at the tracheostomy-skin interface can remain quite high. Here we provide measures of this pressure directly and show that a tracheostomy support system can be highly effective at minimizing that pressure. There is room for improvement in tracheostomy care, and such improvement does not have to come at a great expense.PMID:38626951 | DOI:10.4187/respcare.11160 (Source: Respiratory Care)

Comparative evaluation of blind supraglottic airway device insertion versus videolaryngoscope-guided technique in adults undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy
CONCLUSION: The videolaryngoscope-guided technique provided superior airway sealing and reduced malposition of Igel without an increase in adverse events compared to the blind technique. However, this was at the cost of increased time of device insertion.CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: www.ctri.nic.in identifier is CTRI/2022/10/046269.PMID:38623726 | DOI:10.1080/17434440.2024.2343423 (Source: Expert Review of Medical Devices)
