Objectives: The main objective was to demonstrate the feasibility of percutaneous tracheostomy performed under difficult conditions by military ENT physicians during their deployment in the military intensive care field hospital of the French Military Medical Service in Mulhouse to confront the exceptional COVID-19 pandemic. The secondary objective was to assess reliability and safety for patient and caregivers, with a risk of iatrogenic viral contamination.
Material And Methods: A single-center retrospective study was conducted between March 25 and April 25, 2020, in 47 COVID-19 patients requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation.
Article Synopsis
- - Cervical congenital malformations are frequently seen in both children and adults and are linked to the embryological development of branchial clefts.
- - Diagnosis requires ruling out other conditions, particularly distinguishing between a cervical tumor and cancer; common clinical signs include cutaneous fistulas and cervical tumors, which may be recent or part of an inflammatory context.
- - The most prevalent types of cervical cysts are thyroglossal duct cysts and second branchial cleft cysts, and imaging plays a key role in diagnosis, while treatment generally involves antibiotics followed by complete surgical removal to prevent recurrence.
Introduction: We present a retrospective study series and discussion of the current literature to discuss the management of fishbones in the upper aerodigestive tract.
Materials And Methods: From January 2013 to July 2016, all patients referred to our referral center because of a fishbone in the upper aerodigestive tract were analysed.
Results: Of the 24 patients, 95% of them reported discomfort in the throat.

The gravity is due to the risk of spreading infection in intracranial tissues and orbital cavity. The diagnosis is always to discuss any symptomatology resistant to treatment and the appearance of orbital or neurological signs.
