BACKGROUND: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is highly prevalent. The STOP-BANG questionnaire is a simple and useful tool to screen for OSA. AIM: Since OSA is strongly associated with airway management troubles, we sought to determine whether the STOP-BANG can predict difficult airway management. MATERIAL A...

Introducción: el edema pulmonar posobstructivo (EPPO), o por presión negativa, es
una entidad potencialmente mortal, que se desarrolla inmediatamente luego de una
obstrucción severa de la vía aérea superior. Materiales y métodos: descripción de
una serie de 4 casos de EPPO ocurridos en niños, 3 d...
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the usefulness of ultrasound (US) as a complement to airway management. An overview of how to obtain a real-time airway ultrasound at the bedside is reviewed and the support for its use is checked against the evidence. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The search was carried out in Pubmed and ...

Acquired subglottic cysts are an unusual cause of stridor. They are usually developed following a tracheal intubation episode in a premature patient. We report the clinical case of an ex-premature patient who was diagnosed as having an acquired subglottic cyst after causing a difficult intubation situati...
Proper management of the airway as anesthesiologists is essential to avoid respiratory complications and the development of new technologies has allowed every day the possibility of a safer anesthetic management, this is how ultrasound has had great relevance today, since it allows perform increasingly s...
Difficulties in airway management turn out to be the leading cause of cardiac arrest in anesthesia and they represent 50% of severe non-fatal anesthesiological complications. The main obstacle lies in the difficulties to predict it. Difficult intubation occurs in 1.5 to 8% of general anesthesia procedure...
Managing a pediatric patient is a challenge for the anesthesiologist. Optimizing the use of airway devices through solving common questions among general anesthesiologists turns out to be a way of improving and maximizing de safety we offer our patients, reducing de occurrence of the most common complica...
Subglottic stenosis is a congenital and/or acquired pathology, which can be secondary to prolonged endotracheal intubation and tracheotomy. It is associated with hypoperfusion of the epithelium related to the cuff pressure of the endotracheal tube and/ or the tracheostomy cannula. Grade III-IV stenosis r...
