Article Synopsis
- The study compares two head and neck positions—sniffing position (SP) and further head elevation (HE)—to see which provides better conditions for laryngoscopy and intubation in adult patients undergoing surgery under general anesthesia.
- Researchers assessed factors like difficulty of laryngoscopy, intubation ease, and glottic visualization between the two positions using a quantitative scale called the Intubation Difficulty Scale (IDS).
- Results showed that the HE position significantly improved glottic view and reduced intubation difficulty compared to the SP, suggesting HE is the better option for intubation.

Background And Aims: Intercostal nerve blockade (ICNB) and peritubal infiltration of the nephrostomy tract are well-established regional anaesthetic techniques for alleviating pain after percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). This prospective study compared the efficacy of ICNB and peritubal local anaesthetic infiltration of the nephrostomy tract in providing post-operative analgesia following PCNL.
Methods: Sixty American Society of Anesthesiologist physical status 1 and II patients scheduled for PCNL requiring nephrostomy tube were randomised to receive either peritubal infiltration or ICNB.
