This paper explores the use of fiberoptics in indirect laryngoscopy and encourages the speech pathologist to use this procedure in a diagnostic and therapeutic context. Routine use of this procedure by speech pathologists would broaden the role definition of the voice clinician as a skilled evaluator of vocal-fold pathologies.

Does intubation while observing the glottis with a fiberoptic scope reduce postoperative sore throat?

BMC Anesthesiol

November 2024

Department of Dental Anesthesiology, Graduate School of Dental Science, Kyushu University, Fukuoka, Japan.

Introduction: In oral maxillofacial surgery, the nasal tracheal tube is mostly used to provide a better surgical field for oral, head and neck operations. Postoperative sore throat and hoarseness are common following tracheal intubation, with an incidence of 11-55%. Then, we previously reported advantage technique of fiberoptic scope to decrease the risk which the tip of the tube is visualized as the tube is advanced which helps avoid impingement of the tube.

This article reviews rotational seismology, considering different areas of interest, as well as measuring devices used for rotational events investigations. After a short theoretical description defining the fundamental parameters, the authors summarized data published in the literature in areas such as the indirect numerical investigation of rotational effects, rotation measured during earthquakes, teleseismic wave investigation, rotation induced by artificial explosions, and mining activity. The fundamental data on the measured rotation parameters and devices used for the recording are summarized and compared for the above areas.

Comparison of the clinical performance of the Ambu®AuraGain™ laryngeal mask in children undergoing surgery in the supine and prone position - A prospective, non-inferiority clinical trial.

J Clin Anesth

December 2024

Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine, Severance Hospital, Anesthesia and Pain Research Institute, Yonsei University College of Medicine, 50-1 Yonsei-ro, Seodamungu, Seoul 03722, Republic of Korea. Electronic address:

Article Synopsis
  • This study evaluated the effectiveness of the Ambu®AuraGain™, a second-generation supraglottic airway (SGA), in children undergoing surgery in both prone and supine positions.
  • The research involved 126 children aged 2-12 years, measuring oropharyngeal leak pressure (OLP) after positioning and noting any airway-related issues.
  • Results showed that OLP in the prone position was not inferior to the supine position, although more airway maneuvers were needed for the prone position, suggesting it may be slightly more challenging.
