Comparison of neutral and sniffing position for ease of endotracheal intubation using Airtraq optical laryngoscope-A randomized trial.

J Anaesthesiol Clin Pharmacol

August 2024

Department of Anesthesia and Critical Care, Pt. B. D. Sharma PGIMS, Rohtak, Haryana, India.

Background: Traditionally, the sniffing position has been considered a standard head and neck position during direct laryngoscopy. The perfect head and neck position for video laryngoscopy has yet not been described. Hence, we planned the present study to compare the neutral and sniffing position for ease of intubation using Airtraq.

Background: The Laryngeal Mask Airway Vision Mask (LMA VM) is a supraglottic airway device (SAD) with a vision guidance system. The ideal head and neck position for direct laryngoscopy is known, but the ideal position for placing a LMA is not. The objective of this study is to evaluate and compare the optimal position for placement of a video laryngeal mask airway.

Ultrasonography of the cricoarytenoid joint and its movements.

Auris Nasus Larynx

December 2024

Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, School of Medicine, Jichi Medical University, Shimotsuke, Tochigi, Japan.

Objective: Ultrasound provides real-time anatomical information and motion. We used ultrasound to image the cricoarytenoid joint and its rotating, rocking, and gliding movements.

Methods: Between March and October 2023, 20 patients (10 males and 10 females) who visited our hospital underwent laryngeal ultrasonography.

Article Synopsis
  • This study looked at whether a special way to position obese patients (called the ramped position) makes it easier and faster to put in a breathing device during surgery.
  • The researchers found that it took less time to insert the device in the ramped position compared to another position called the sniffing position, and it was easier for the doctors too.
  • Overall, the ramped position is a better choice for helping patients breathe during surgery without causing extra problems.

: Tracheal intubation in the Sellick and Trendelenburg position (ST position) can prevent pulmonary aspiration but increase the difficulty of tracheal intubation. We compared tracheal intubation using video and direct laryngoscopy in the ST position with direct laryngoscopy in the supine sniffing position to evaluate the overall intubation performance. : One hundred and twenty patients were randomly assigned to three groups: direct laryngoscope in the supine sniffing position (control), direct laryngoscope in the ST position (ST direct), and video laryngoscope in the ST position (ST video).
