Approximately 50% of all neonatal endotracheal intubation attempts are unsuccessful and associated with airway injury and cardiorespiratory instability. The aim of this study was to describe ...
Accurate prediction of difficult direct laryngoscopy (DDL) is essential to ensure optimal airway management and patient safety. The present study proposed an AI model that would accurately predict DDL ...
Treating acute upper airway obstruction in the clinical setting is complicated and requires managing a sometimes chaotic environment, understanding the potentially multiple causes of disease ...
The probability for successful first-attempt intubation was greater among adults who received high- vs. standard-dose ...
Esophageal intubation describes the unintended insertion of a breathing tube into the esophagus (the tube leading to the stomach) instead of the windpipe (trachea). If this is not promptly recognized ...
