Prediction of difficult laryngoscopy / difficult intubation cases using upper airway ultrasound measurements in emergency department: a prospective observational study
Introduction Difficult laryngoscopy and intubation are serious problems among critically ill patients in emergency
department (ED) so utility of a rapid, accurate and noninvasive method for predicting of these patients are necessary.…

Equivalence of the top-down manoeuvre and bottom-up manoeuvre in speed and accuracy of identifying the cricothyroid membrane: a prospective randomised crossover study
Background Accurate identification of the cricothyroid membrane is crucial for successful cricothyrotomy;
however, a manoeuvre that helps identify it both accurately and quickly remains unclear. The effectiveness of the
so-called ‘bottom-up…

Compromised cardiopulmonary resuscitation quality due to regurgitation during endotracheal intubation: a randomised crossover manikin simulation study
Background: Regurgitation is a complication common during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). This manikin
study evaluated the efect of regurgitation during endotracheal intubation on CPR quality.
Methods: An airway-CPR manikin was modifed to…

A retrospective descriptive analysis of non-physician-performed prehospital endotracheal intubation practices and performance in South Africa
Introduction: Prehospital advanced airway management, including endotracheal intubation (ETI), is one of the most
commonly performed advanced life support skills. In South Africa, prehospital ETI is performed by non-physician
prehospital…

Association between post-extubation upper airway obstruction symptoms and airway size measured by computed tomography: a single-center observational study
Background: Computed tomography (CT) is often performed to assess patients; however, little is known about
how airway size measured by CT scan imaging might infuence the occurrence of post-extubation upper airway
obstruction.
Methods: This study…

Ultrasonography indicators for predicting difficult intubation: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Background: Ultrasonography (US) is recently used frequently as a tool for airway assessment prior to intubation
(endotracheal tube (ETT) placement), and several indicators have been proposed in studies with different reported
performances in this…

Difficult airway predictors were associated with decreased use of neuromuscular blocking agents in emergency airway management: a retrospective cohort study in Thailand
Background: It is recommended that difficult airway predictors be evaluated before emergency airway
management. However, little is known about how patients with difficult airway predictors are managed in
emergency departments. We aimed to explore…
