An inexpensive and readily available device for securing the endotracheal tube in oral or nasal intubations is described. The device consists of a Velcro-fastened strap which is adjustable to any size tubing and two additional cloth straps which are tied around the patient's head. This device is very stable when properly tied and minimizes the possibility of extubation or damage to the nasal tissues caused by movement of the endotracheal tubing during surgery.

Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) has achieved popularity because it facilitates monitoring of the functional integrity of neural structures under general anesthesia. It aids in the early detection of injury and minimizes postoperative neurologic deficit or neurologic morbidity from surgical manipulations of various neurologic structures. The patient mentioned in this case report presented with lower limb radiculopathy and was diagnosed with diastematomyelia Type II, and she was planned for surgical intervention under general anesthesia.

Propofol, a widely used intravenous anesthetic agent, requires accurate monitoring to ensure therapeutic efficacy and prevent oversedation. Recent developments in modern analytical instrumentation have led to significant breakthroughs in on-line analysis of exhaled breath. This review discusses several sophisticated analytical methods that have been explored for noninvasive, real-time monitoring of propofol concentrations, including proton transfer reaction mass spectrometry, selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry, ion mobility spectrometry, and gas chromatography coupled to surface acoustic wave sensors.

Background: Traditionally, the sniffing position has been considered a standard head and neck position during direct laryngoscopy. The perfect head and neck position for video laryngoscopy has yet not been described. Hence, we planned the present study to compare the neutral and sniffing position for ease of intubation using Airtraq.
