The existence of inadequate TDI knowledge by doctors should provide the catalyst to establish a dental anatomy and trauma course within the medical curriculum.

Intubation in patients living with obesity poses unique challenges due to altered airway anatomy and reduced physiological reserve, increasing the risk of complications.

Videolaryngoscopy was associated with a significant increase in first-pass intubation success compared to direct laryngoscopy, with a pooled risk ratio (RR) of 0.
