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.
Systematic reviews associate peripheral nerve blocks based on anatomic landmarks or nerve stimulation with reduced pain and need for systemic analgesia in hip fracture patients. We aimed to investigate the effect of ultrasound-guided nerve blocks compared to conventional analgesia for preoperative pain management in hip fractures. Five databases were searched until June 2021 to identify randomised controlled trials.

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.
