Introduction: Large retrosternal goiters often cause tracheal compression and deviation, leading to respiratory symptoms and complicating surgical treatment. Total thyroidectomy is the treatment of choice though it carries a risk of complications due to the altered anatomy and its proximity to vital structures. This study examines the outcomes of total thyroidectomy in patients with retrosternal goiters and assesses the impact of tracheal compression on clinical results.

Foreign body (FB) aspiration in children is a common emergency. Traditionally, rigid bronchoscopy has been considered to be the mainstay for removal. However, in certain cases, flexible bronchoscopy can prove to be a better option and avoid thoracic surgery and unnecessary morbidity.

Background And Aims: El-Ganzouri risk index (EGRI) scoring is a predictive tool for difficult video laryngoscope (VL) guided tracheal intubation, and its use has been studied for various VLs. This study evaluates the predictive value of EGRI scoring for difficult laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation with King Vision VL.
Methods: Airway assessment was performed preinduction using the EGRI score.

Introduction: Endotracheal intubation can be difficult or even fail under certain patient and anaesthesiologist conditions. During the COVID-19 pandemic a country-wide lockdown policy was enforced in Thailand which stipulated that anaesthesiologists wear personal protective equipment, powered air purifying respirator, or goggles and surgical/N95 mask during the intubation procedure. Thus, an anaesthesiologist's vision is restricted and grip on the equipment less sure.

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the first-pass intubation success rates of air medical providers using direct laryngoscopy, channeled blade video laryngoscopy, and nonchanneled blade video laryngoscopy.
Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of the Orlando Health Air Care Team (ACT) airway quality registry over a 5-year period. The ACT had 3 approved approaches for endotracheal intubation: direct laryngoscopy, the King Vision (Ambu, Ballerup Denmark) channeled blade laryngoscope, or the C-MAC (Karl-Storz, Tuttlingen Germany) (nonchanneled) laryngoscope.

Unlabelled: We aimed to analyze the effect of video laryngoscopy on intubation success, time to intubation, and adverse events in infants and neonates. A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed, for which a neonates (age less than 29 days) and infants (age less than 365 days) needing to be intubated were included. The main outcomes were first attempt success rate in the intubation, time to intubation, and adverse events.

Introduction: When our rural trauma center first became certified in 1986, the Emergency Department (ED) was a mix of board-certified Emergency Medicine (EM) and Family Medicine trained physicians each with various degrees of airway experience. Therefore, Anesthesia providers had provided airway management during trauma activations for decades. Recently, our institution saw dramatic growth in the ED which is now staffed by board certified EM physicians and complemented by an EM residency program.

A surgeon managing complex airway disease benefits from knowledge of laryngeal physiology and pathology. The Larynx provides phonation and protection for the lower airway via closure and cough reflex. Disruption of these functions or development of paralysis or stenosis can lead to respiratory failure.
