Article Synopsis
- The study investigated technical skill performance in experienced anaesthetists performing flexible bronchoscopic intubation during airway management.
- A total of 25 anaesthetists managed 100 patients, and their performance was evaluated using a scoring system, revealing a pass rate of 70% and indicating that 30% of cases had at least one 'not competent' evaluation.
- Although the anaesthetists reported high procedural confidence and improved time to intubation from the first to the fourth case, there were no significant differences in their overall skill scores or confidence levels.
Background: We aimed to determine the development in the use of video laryngoscopy over a 9-year period, and its possible impact on airway planning and management.
Methods: We retrieved 822,259 records of tracheal intubations recorded from 2008 to 2016 in the Danish Anaesthesia Database. The circumstances regarding pre-operative airway assessment, the scheduled airway management plan and the actual airway management concerning video laryngoscopy were reported for each year of observation.
Introduction: After failed mask ventilation and tracheal intubation, guidelines issued by the Difficult Airway Society recommend placing a second generation supraglottic airway device to secure oxygenation. Ultimately, a secure airway can be obtained by tracheal intubation through the supraglottic airway device using a bronchoscope. In this randomised trial, we compared the AuraGain™ with the i-gel™ as conduit for bronchoscopic intubation under continuous oxygenation performed by a group of anaesthesiologists with variable experience in a general population of patients.

This study aimed to identify anesthesiologists' subjective and objective knowledge gaps as well as areas where anesthesiologists are incorrect and unaware.
Methods: An adaptive E-learning program with 103 questions on adult airway management was used for subjective and objective assessment of anesthesiologists' knowledge.
