La parálisis de cuerdas vocales es una complicación poco frecuente, aunque severa, tras una intubación orotraqueal. La causa más frecuente es la traumática, debido a la compresión del nervio laríngeo recurrente entre el maguito del tubo orotraqueal y el cartílago tiroides. Otras posibles causas son lesión directa de las cuerdas vocales durante la i...

Intubation in the early postinjury phase can be a high-risk procedure associated with an increased risk of mortality when delayed. Nonroutine events (NREs) are workflow disruptions that can be latent safety threats in high-risk settings and may contribute to adverse outcomes. We reviewed videos of intubations of injured children (age

BackgroundMulti-walled carbon nanotubes can be divided into two general subtypes: tangled and straight. MWCNT-N (60 nm in diameter) and MWCNT-7 (80–90 nm in diameter) are straight-type MWCNTs, and similarly to asbestos, both are carcinogenic to the lung and pleura when administered to rats via the airway. Injection of straight-type MWCNTs into the ...

Introduction: Application of a rigid cervical collar may interfere with the laryngeal view, and potentially lead to failed endotracheal intubation (ETI). This study aimed to compare intubation success rates while performing inline stabilization with and without cervical hard collar. Methods: This randomized prospective comparative study included pa...

Background Fiberoptic intubation is a powerful and safe technique to deal with airway difficulty, but it requires a lot of training to be able to perform correctly. There are various specialized oral airways for fiberoptic intubation, but none of them have perfect functionality. Case A 75-year-old male (body weight 71.6 kg, height 159.3 cm, body ma...

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (coronavirus disease 2019 [COVID-19]) pandemic has challenged medical systems and clinicians globally to unforeseen levels. Rapid spread of COVID-19 has forced clinicians to care for patients with a highly contagious disease without evidence-based guidelines. Using a virtual modified nominal group...

BackgroundBiofilm formation on endotracheal tubes (ETTs) is an early and frequent event in mechanically ventilated patients. The biofilm is believed to act as a reservoir for infecting microorganisms and thereby contribute to development and relapses of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Once a biofilm has formed on an ETT surface, it is diffic...
