The hemorrhagic airway makes visualization during laryngoscopy and intubation difficult. A specially designed videolaryngoscope blade with integrated suction was developed and studied in a simulated hemorrhagic airway at the Omaha VA Medical Center. Results show that, if available, many users would choose to include this new suction device in their standard airway carts due to its "always there" design.

Learning tracheal intubation with a hyperangulated videolaryngoscopy blade: sub-analysis of a randomised controlled trial.

Introduction: The number of tracheal intubation attempts required to reach proficiency in videolaryngoscopy with hyperangulated blades is unknown. Understanding this training requirement might guide training for clinicians who perform laryngoscopy. We therefore performed a planned sub-analysis of a randomised controlled trial comparing tracheal intubation success with videolaryngoscopy vs.

Article Synopsis
- Anesthesia is crucial for intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) during thyroid and parathyroid surgeries, as this study investigates its effects on signal quality.
- The study involved 72 patients and compared the impact of two muscle relaxants—succinylcholine and rocuronium bromide—while using either total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) or combined anesthesia.
- Results showed that unwanted movements occurred more frequently with TIVA and succinylcholine, but the type of anesthesia maintenance and muscle relaxant did not significantly affect nerve signal quality.

Purpose: Applying a cervical collar during videolaryngoscopic intubation can increase the lifting force required to achieve adequate glottic view, potentially increasing cervical spine motion. We aimed to compared cervical spine motion during videolaryngoscopic intubation between applying only the posterior piece (posterior-only group) and applying both the anterior and posterior pieces (anterior-posterior group) in patients wearing a cervical collar.
Methods: We conducted a dingle-centre, parallel-group, randomized controlled trial in 102 patients (each group, N = 51).

Aims: This study aimed to compare the efficacy and utility of the McGrath™ videolaryngoscope, using the Macintosh-like McGrath™ MAC blade and the hyperangulated McGrath™ MAC Xblade with a conventional Macintosh blade under simulated resuscitation conditions.
Methods: A prospective, randomized study under conditions mimicking ongoing chest compressions was conducted with 90 anesthesiologists. Intubation success rates, time-to-vocal cords, time-to-intubate, and time-to-ventilate were measured.
