Supraglottic masses can be an anaesthesiologist's nightmare due to the difficult airway scenario and bleeding risk during airway manipulation. Awake fibreoptic intubation is the primary method to secure the airway in such cases. However, most practising anaesthesiologists are not experts at handling the fibreoptic scope, especially in cases with a floppy supraglottic mass where it becomes difficult to displace the mask with the thin flexible bronchoscope.

SCIWOCTET is a cervical spine injury (CSI) with objective signs of myelopathy, due to trauma, without evidence of ligament injury or bone fractures on x-ray and computed tomography (CT) images. It is rare, found in about 3% of patients with CSI. Perioperative manipulation of these patients may cause secondary spinal cord injury.

Difficult airway management poses a great challenge for clinicians, especially if it is unanticipated. Numerous guidelines and a wide array of devices constitute the anesthesiologist's armamentarium for managing the airway. When the use of individual devices fails, the use of combination techniques is advised.

Introduction: Videolaryngoscopy (VL) is the recommended strategy for airway management in COVID-19 patients and guidelines recommends that all anesthesiologists should be trained to use and have immediate access to the device. However, the availability of VL in hospitals and its use may vary, as well as the choice of the device and necessary training. Our primary aim was to investigate data on availability of VL in Croatia, its use, the choice of the device and its implementation, with special consideration of COVID-19 management.

Background: Although minimization of cervical spine motion by using a neck collar or manual in-line stabilization is recommended for urgent tracheal intubation (TI) in patients with known or suspected cervical spine injury (CSI), it may worsen glottic visualization. The overall performance of video-stylets during TI in patients with neck immobilization remains unclear. The current meta-analysis aimed at comparing the intubation outcomes of different video-stylets with those of conventional laryngoscopes in patients with cervical immobilization.
