Intubación de secuencia rápida, un procedimiento que todo médico debiese conocer: revisión bibliográfica a propósito de un caso

Rev. méd. Maule; 39 (3), 2024
Rapid sequence intubation is the preferred method of securing the airway in patients who are critically ill, or at risk for aspiration. This involves the administration of an anesthetic induction agent followed rapidly by a neuromuscular blocking agent to create optimal intubation conditions and minimize...

Anesthetic induction and endotracheal intubation in the sitting position due to the fixed forearm caught by a meat grinder

Braz. J. Anesth. (Impr.); 73 (2), 2023
Abstract A male patient was scheduled for urgent amputation of his right forearm. His right forearm was stuck inside the insertion slot of a meat grinder, resulting in severe pain to his injured arm. His upper body could not move to sit in a semi-upright position. An endotracheal tube was successfully pl...

Role of melatonin in attenuation of hemodynamic response to intubation and anesthetic requirements: a randomized, controlled, double-blind study

Braz. J. Anesth. (Impr.); 73 (4), 2023
Abstract Background Melatonin has been studied to have anxiolytic, sedative, and analgesic effects. However, there is limited data on the effect of melatonin in the attenuation of hemodynamic response to intubation. We aimed to study whether preanesthetic oral melatonin attenuates hemodynamic responses ...

Predictive performance of thyromental height for difficult laryngoscopies in adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Braz. J. Anesth. (Impr.); 73 (4), 2023
Abstract Background Thyromental height (TMH) was first reported as a great single test for prediction of difficult laryngoscopies, although further studies have shown variable estimates of its accuracy. We thus performed this meta-analysis to summarize the predictive values of TMH mainly for prediction ...

Awake airway endoscopy in mucopolysaccharidosis: a case report

Braz. J. Anesth. (Impr.); 73 (4), 2023
Abstract Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) are a group of rare genetic inherited diseases with a progressive course due to the accumulation of glycosaminoglycans resulting in anatomic abnormalities and organ dysfunction, including the respiratory, cardiovascular, skeletal, and neurological systems that can inc...

Awake videolaryngoscopy: Could it be a safe alternative to awake fiberoptic intubation?

Rev. chil. anest; 52 (2), 2023
INTRODUCTION: Awake fiberoptic intubation has for many years been the gold-standard in patients with difficult airway. Videolaryngoscopy has already shown some advantages in patients with a difficult airway and compared to fiberoptic intubation it uses a technically simpler equipment and it is easier and...

Is Mallampati classification a good screening test? A prospective cohort evaluating the predictive values of Mallampati test at different thresholds

Braz. J. Anesth. (Impr.); 72 (6), 2022
Abstract Background There is currently some discussion over the actual usefulness of performing preoperative upper airway assessment to predict difficult airways. In this field, modified Mallampati test (MMT) is a widespread tool used for prediction of difficult airways showing only a feeble predictive ...

Abordaje Quirúrgico de Quiste Epidermoide del Piso de la Cavidad Oral, con Vía Aérea Difícil e Intubación Vigil

Los quistes epidermoides son patologías benignas que se originan cuando células germinativas quedan atrapadas dentro de los arcos branquiales durante su cierre. Su prevalencia es baja, siendo aún menos prevalente su par, el quiste dermoide. Se presenta el caso clínico de una paciente de 17 años, de ...

Manejo de vía aérea difícil en intubación de emergencia, revisión sistemática y metaanálisis

Rev. ADM; 79 (5), 2022
Introducción: la vía aérea difícil es aquella situación clínica en la cual un anestesiólogo entrenado convencionalmente experimenta dificultad en la aplicación de ventilación con mascarilla facial, en la intubación endotraqueal o ambas, es de vital importancia su identificación, puesto que su ...

Predictive model for difficult laryngoscopy using machine learning: retrospective cohort study

Braz. J. Anesth. (Impr.); 72 (5), 2022
Abstract Background Both predictions and predictors of difficult laryngoscopy are controversial. Machine learning is an excellent alternative method for predicting difficult laryngoscopy. This study aimed to develop and validate practical predictive models for difficult laryngoscopy through machine lear...
