The Pentax-AWS for airway obstruction after tracheal extubation

Pentax-AWS video laryngoscope for tracheal intubation in a patient with Klippel-Feil syndrome

provided the original work is properly cited. CC Klippel-Feil syndrome (KFS) is a congenital anomaly of the cervical vertebral segments presenting three characteristics: an extremely short neck, low hairline, and significantly restricted range of motion of the neck. KFS is one of the congenital causes of difficult airway management because of these characteristic features, and patients with KFS...

Difficult Airway Society Guidelines for the management of tracheal extubation.

Tracheal extubation is a high-risk phase of anaesthesia. The majority of problems that occur during extubation and emergence are of a minor nature, but a small and significant number may result in injury or death. The need for a strategy incorporating extubation is mentioned in several international airway management guidelines, but the subject is not discussed in detail, and the emphasis has b...

Tracheal granuloma 7 years after extubation

Tracheal granuloma can cause severe stenosis long after extubation. When a patient with a history of endobronchial intubation has an intratracheal tumour, we should consider the possibility of this condition.

Tracheal extubation.

Tracheal extubation in both the critical care and anesthesia setting is not only an important milestone for patient recovery, but also a procedure that carries a considerable risk of complication or failure. Mechanical ventilation is associated with significant complications that are time-dependent in nature, with a longer duration of intubation resulting in a higher incidence of complications,...
