Comparison of Hemodynamic Response to Laryngoscopy Using Miller and McCoy Blade.

Background: The most commonly used equipment to aid endotracheal intubation is a laryngoscope, and the procedure performed is known as laryngoscopy, which leads to profound cardiovascular effects. The process of laryngoscopy causes the release of catecholamines, thereby leading to marked pressor responses and tachycardia. The process of laryngoscopy can be made easier by the use of various types of laryngoscopic blades.

Evaluation of the Overall Accuracy of the Combined Early Warning Scoring Systems in the Prediction of In-Hospital Mortality.

Introduction Deterioration of clinical condition of in-hospital patients further leads to intensive care unit (ICU) transfer or death which can be reduced by the use of prediction tools. The early warning scoring (EWS) system is a prediction tool used in monitoring medical patients in hospitals, hospital staying length, and inpatient mortality. The present study evaluated four different EWS systems for the prediction of patient survival.
