Nasotracheal intubation is a commonly used technique in elective oral and pharyngeal surgeries. This case report details an incident involving a young adult patient in which an attempt at nasotracheal intubation resulted in a life-threatening cervicofacial and thoracic emphysema. Although complications associated with nasotracheal intubation are rare, their potential severity necessitates a comprehensive preprocedural discussion and risk assessment with the surgical team to confirm its appropriate indication for each individual patient.

Lip ulcers associated with endotracheal tube fixation are a known complication in adults, but their prevalence in neonates and preterm infants remains unclear. We report a case of a right oral commissure ulcer that developed during endotracheal tube fixation at the right oral commissure and left lateral decubitus positioning in an extremely preterm infant with unilateral pulmonary interstitial emphysema (PIE). A male infant was born at 24 weeks and four days of gestation, weighing 696 gm.

Nonintubated video-assisted thoracic surgery: myth or reality?

Curr Opin Anaesthesiol

February 2025

Department of Anesthesia, Intensive Care and Emergency, A.O.U. Città della Salute e della Scienza di Torino, Torino, Italy.

Purpose Of Review: This review discusses nonintubated video-assisted thoracic surgery (NIVATS) by presenting its physiological, technical aspects and recent clinical data from the literature.

Recent Findings: In the last two decades, NIVATS has gained traction as an alternative to traditional intubated thoracic surgery, offering potential benefits in terms of reduced complications, faster recovery times, and improved patient satisfaction. Several approaches to this technique have been described in the literature, mainly divided into the awake patient technique (awake-NIVATS) and the asleep patient technique (asleep-NIVATS).

Background: Remimazolam is a novel ultra-short-acting benzodiazepine known for its hemodynamic stability over propofol. However, its hemodynamic effects compared to those of etomidate are not well established. This study aimed to determine whether the use of remimazolam is non-inferior to etomidate with regard to the occurrence of post-induction hypotension in patients undergoing coronary arterial bypass grafting.
