P-Values: Misunderstood and Misused
P-values are widely used in both the social and natural sciences to quantify the statistical significance of observed results. The recent surge of big data research has made the p-value an evenmore popular tool to test the significance of a study. However, substantial literature has been produced critiquing how p-values are used and understood. In this paper we review this recent critical liter...
متن کاملComparison of a new video-optical intubation stylet versus the conventional malleable stylet in simulated difficult tracheal intubation.
Handling and efficacy of a new video-optical intubation stylet were assessed in a simulated difficult tracheal intubation setting and compared with a conventional malleable stylet. Forty-five anaesthetists performed 10 tracheal intubations using both techniques. Laryngoscopy was performed by the observer, who created a grade 3 view according the classification by Cormack and Lehane. The time ta...
متن کاملLighted stylet tracheal intubation: a review.
Tracheal intubation is older than the recognized history of general anesthesia itself. In the late 18th century, The Royal Humane Society of London used tracheal intubation for resuscitating the near-drowned. Approximately 100 years later, MacEwan (1) performed a digital tracheal intubation in an awake patient before a chloroform and air general endotracheal anesthetic for the resection of a to...
متن کاملFibreoptic and stylet aided orotracheal intubation: a different approach for the difficult intubation.
To the Editor: We report a technique of orotracheal intubation using the combination of a flexible fibreoptic bronchoscope (FOB) and a stylet in a patient whose operation was postponed initially because of failed intubation. A 44-yr-old male was scheduled for total resection of the thyroid gland. After induction of anesthesia, a laryngeal view was not obtained by direct laryngoscopy. An experie...
متن کاملEfficiency of a new fiberoptic stylet scope in tracheal intubation.
BACKGROUND Failed or difficult tracheal intubation is an important cause of morbidity and mortality during anesthesia. Although a number of fiberoptic devices are available to circumvent this problem, many do not allow manual control of the flexion of the tip and necessitate time-consuming preparation, special training, or the use of an external light source. To improve these limitations, the a...
