Introduction: Presence of a sore throat after surgery is a common side effect of general anesthesia with intratracheal intubation and can cause discomfort for the patient and prolong the recovery process. In this study we compared the effect of dexamethasone before and after intubation on the incidence of sore throat after tympanoplasty surgery.   Materials and Methods: In a double-blind, rando...

BACKGROUND Neonatal endotracheal intubation is a life-saving procedural skill where best practices have been developed from expert opinion. Few empirical studies have examined how this skill should be taught. OBJECTIVE To determine whether a video laryngoscope (VL) assisted intubation training curriculum compared to a traditional direct laryngoscope (DL) assisted curriculum improves neonatal ...

Introduction: Laryngeal mask airway (LMA) Fastrach was specially designed as a conduit for blind tracheal intubation in anticipated difficult airway and where we do not require neck extension. i-gel is a disposable, cheap supraglottic device with wide bore stem which facilitates direct passage of a conventional polyvinylchloride (PVC) endotracheal tube. Materials and Methods: A total of 80 adul...

The introduction into clinical practice of new tools for intubation as videolaringoscopia has dramatically improved the success rate of intubation and the work of anesthesiologists in what is considered the most delicate maneuver. Nevertheless intubation difficulties may also be encountered with good anatomical visualization of glottic structures in videolaringoscopia. To overcome the obstacles...

BACKGROUND The development of specialised airway tools help laryngoscopists secure the airway in intensive care units. The use of videolaryngoscopy has been suggested in simulation studies, and human studies suggest that this advanced airway tool may have an advantage for difficult airways; however, less is known about its use in the ICU. OBJECTIVE To compare orotracheal intubation before and...
