Effect of 0.2% carbomer ophthalmic ointment on eye discomfort after general anesthesia: A non-randomized cohort study.

Background And Objective: Eye lesions during surgery are rare. Its common causes include direct trauma, chemical damage, and corneal exposure. Eye discomfort may present after surgery in the absence of structural damage.

Transoral flexible laser surgery of the upper aerodigestive tract with blue laser.

Purpose: The introduction of fiber-guided lasers was a breakthrough in laryngology practice, opening the path for treating different pathologies with minimally invasive procedures, both in the operating room and in the office. The most recent technology in the area is the blue laser, which combines photoangiolytic and cutting properties, characteristics that make this equipment suitable for its use in upper aerodigestive tract surgery. However, there is not enough experience in this area.

A comparison of King Vision video laryngoscopy and direct laryngoscopy as performed by residents: a randomized controlled trial.

Study Objective: For more than 40 years, direct laryngoscopy (DL) has been used to assure the airway during endotracheal intubation. The King Vision video laryngoscope is one of the latest devices introduced for endotracheal intubation. We hypothesize that, relative to direct laryngoscopy, it improves the intubation success rate with fewer intubation attempts and no difference in intubation time or complications.
