Laryngeal adult-type hemangiomas are very rare lesions, more frequent in men, whose optimal treatment consists of microlaryngoscopical excision. We herein report a case of larynx cavernous hemangioma in a 64-year-old woman with hoarseness for about six months. Histologically, the tumor was composed of multiple vessels embedded in an edematous stroma.

Introduction: Endotracheal tube (ETT) malpositioning can result in a myriad of complications. Daily chest radiographs (CXR) is the gold standard in monitoring these complications. Point-of-care transtracheal ultrasound (TTUS) is an emerging imaging modality for ETT positioning.

Background: The approval of anti-amyloid monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) provides a novel approach to the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Infusions in alternative sites of care can benefit the patient financially and logistically, but coverage is largely payor dependent. The purpose of this study is to describe observations from this national complex specialty pharmacy around the safety of anti-amyloid mAb infusions in alternative sites of care, including the home.

Objective: For neonatal repair of coarctation of the aorta, patients may either undergo thoracotomy with extended end-to-end anastomosis or sternotomy for aortic arch reconstruction with cardiopulmonary bypass. The objective of this study was to evaluate the comparative effectiveness of the 2 approaches in patients with arch hypoplasia.

Methods: This is a single-center retrospective cohort study from July 2005 through May 2022 of patients who underwent neonatal repair for isolated coarctation of the aorta with additional arch hypoplasia.

Though several studies have demonstrated that preoperative oral feeding (PO) can be safe in patients with congenital heart disease, they are commonly prohibited from doing so, potentially precluding the development of such skills. We sought to determine whether preoperative oral feeding is associated with freedom from tube feeding at postoperative discharge. Single-center, observational study including patients in the first month of life (≤ 30 days of age) who underwent a single cardiac surgery between 7/1/2017-6/30/2022 and survived to discharge.

Successful awake intubation using Airtraq in a low-resource setting for a patient with severe post-burn contractures.

BMC Anesthesiol

Department of Anesthesiology, Pharmacology, Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine, University Hospitals of Geneva, Geneva, 1205, Switzerland.

Background: In resource-limited settings, advanced airway management tools like fiberoptic bronchoscopes are often unavailable, creating challenges for managing difficult airways. We present the case of a 25-year-old male with post-burn contractures of the face, neck, and thorax in Nigeria, who had been repeatedly denied surgery due to the high risk of airway management complications. This case highlights how an awake intubation was safely performed using an Airtraq laryngoscope, the only device available, as fiberoptic intubation was not an option.
