Tracheal intubation is challenging in patients with severe cervical spine pathology. In such cases, awake fiberoptic intubation is the gold standard and safest option for tracheal intubation. However, this technique requires the patient's understanding and cooperation, and therefore, may be contraindicated in patients with refusal or poor tolerance. Herein, we report successful orotracheal intubation in a patient with limited mouth opening and severe cervical spine rigidity under general anesthesia using an extraglottic airway device and a gum-elastic bougie under C-arm fluoroscopic guidance.

Relative Factors Analysis of the Occurrence and Location of Intratracheal Granuloma Following Tracheotomy.

Aim: Tracheotomy has become more prevalent in clinical settings, and effectively managing postoperative complications plays a crucial role in determining patient outcomes. However, there is a scarcity of clinical research focusing on the development of intratracheal granuloma after tracheotomy, and there is insufficient theoretical support for early detection in clinical settings. This study investigates the relationship between clinical factors and the occurrence and location of intratracheal granuloma.

Objectives: To compare the effect of lung recruitment using high frequency ventilation versus volume targeted ventilation on duration of intubation as well as its effect on lung inflammation in preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome.
Methods: The study was conducted on a total of 40 preterm infants, 34 weeks gestational age or less, having RDS that needed intubation and mechanical ventilation within the first 72 h after their birth at the NICU of Mansoura University Children's Hospital during the period from July 2020 to July 2022. Infants included were randomly assigned into two groups, Group A who were subjected to LRM using HFOV (20 cases) and Group B who were subjected to LRM using VTV/AC (20 cases).
We present a case of an infant patient with Robin sequence (Pierre Robin sequence; PRS) who underwent general anesthesia for a glossopexy procedure. Pediatric patients with PRS are prone to upper airway obstruction during general anesthesia induction and intubation difficulties due to micrognathia and glossoptosis. In this case, we facilitated mask ventilation by inserting a nasopharyngeal airway before induction and successfully intubated the patient using a 2-person technique that combined the use of a video laryngoscope and a flexible fiber-optic scope.

Background: Intravenous administration of sufentanil during anesthesia induction induces cough (SIC), sometimes triggers a severe reaction. We wanted to investigate the inhibitory effect of low-dose esketamine on cough induced by sufentanil during the induction of general anesthesia, as well as its postoperative impact on mental status (MMSE score, RSS, and VAS-A).
Methods: A total of 256 adult patients were randomly allocated to receive either esketamine (Group EK) or normal saline (Group C).
Clinical study on the predictive utility of high flow CPAP in weaning from prolonged mechanical ventilation in critical paediatric surgery patients.

Introduction And Objectives: Weaning paediatric patients from mechanical ventilation (MV) often results in extubation failure (EF) (14%-22%) and 2% of patients will require tracheostomy (2%).
Methods: We performed an observational study in 115 critically ill patients in whom a novel high-flow CPAP (CPAP-ANRI) system was connected to the tracheal tube during ventilation (CPAP + TI). After extubation, the same system was connected to various interfaces.
