Article Synopsis
  • Both anaesthesiologists and surgeons face significant challenges when dealing with airway stenosis and scars in the face and neck, as exemplified by a case of a 38-year-old woman with severe airway constriction due to burns.
  • The patient presented with a very difficult airway (limited mouth opening and severe tracheal stenosis) and had a trachea only 5.5 mm wide, making standard procedures problematic.
  • After unsuccessful attempts to insert a laryngeal mask, a custom tracheal tube was successfully placed using a fiberoptic bronchoscope, allowing for the patient's transfer to the ICU post-operation.

Background: Nasal cannulas and face masks are common oxygenation tools used in conventional oxygen therapy for patients undergoing endoscopic surgery with sedation. However, as a novel supraglottic ventilation technique, the application of supraglottic jet oxygenation and ventilation (SJOV) in endoscopic surgery has not been well established.

Method: We searched six electronic databases from inception to January 16, 2024, to assess the oxygenation/ventilation efficacy and side effects of the of SJOV in endoscopic surgery.

Background: Perioperative neurocognitive disorder (PND) remains a prevalent complication following anesthesia and surgery. Recent studies have revealed the therapeutic potential of gastrodin (GAS) in treating cognitive disturbances. This study delves deeper into the mechanisms through which GAS impacts PND.
