Objective: To study the feasibility, efficacy and safety of using the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) in neonatal resuscitation.
Methods: In total, 369 neonates (gestational age ≥ 34 weeks, expected birth weight ≥2.0 kg) requiring positive pressure ventilation at birth were quasi-randomised to resuscitation by LMA (205 neonates) or bag-mask ventilation (164 neonates).
Results: (1) Successful resuscitation rate was higher with the LMA compared with bag-mask ventilation (P<0.001) and the total ventilation time was shorter with the LMA than with bag-mask ventilation (P<0.001). Seven of nine neonates with an Apgar score of 2 or 3 at 1 min after birth were successfully resuscitated in the LMA group, while in the BMV group all six neonates with an Apgar score of 2 or 3 at 1 min required tracheal intubation and ventilation. In neonates with an Apgar score of 4 or 5 at 1 min after birth, successful resuscitation rate with the LMA was higher than with bag-mask ventilation (P<0.01). (2) Successful insertion rate of the LMA at the first attempt was 98.5% and the insertion time was 7.8 s ± 2.2 s. There were few adverse events (vomiting and aspiration) in the LMA group.
Conclusion: The LMA is safe, effective and easy to implement for the resuscitation of neonates with a gestational age of 34 or, more weeks.

This is a case report of a rare hypoglossal nerve paresis after tonsillectomy in a healthy 29-year-old woman. While she made a full recovery, she experienced 6-8 weeks of dysphagia, dysarthria and had to be readmitted because of dehydration. As direct intraoperative trauma is unlikely due to the protected course of the nerve, we discuss possible mechanisms and suggest precautions to avoid similar neuropraxia - such as avoiding overinflation of the laryngeal mask airway, regularly relieving the tongue pressure and using careful manipulation of the tongue base if necessary.

Background: Intravenous anesthesia with high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) has been reported to benefit oxygen reserves and enhance postoperative recovery in surgeries requiring low neuromuscular blockade. This study investigated whether HFNC improves recovery quality in elderly undergoing ureteroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy (UHLL).
Methods: We enrolled 106 elderly patients undergoing UHLL, with 96 patients (48 per group) included in the final analysis.
How does head position affect laryngeal vision with a video laryngeal mask airway?

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.

Purpose: To compare five pulmonary surfactant (PS) administration strategies for neonates with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), including intubation-surfactant-extubation (InSurE), thin catheter administration, laryngeal mask airway (LMA), surfactant nebulization (SN), and usual care, with a particular emphasis on the comparison of the LMA and SN with other strategies.
Methods: We conducted a systematic search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, PUBMED, and Cochrane CENTRAL databases up to November 2023. Two authors independently conducted data extraction, and assessed bias using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool.
