Advanced Tools for Biomechanical Modeling of the Oral, Pharyngeal, and Laryngeal Complex

چکیده
We have improved the ArtiSynth biomechanical modeling toolkit to meet new challenges in oral, pharyngeal and laryngeal modeling. Our team’s current research efforts have focused on four important developments: 1. patient specific modeling, 2. updating the ArtiSynth simulation engine to support integrated soft and hard tissue models, 3. inverse modeling techniques and 4. computational fluid dynamics for air and fluid flow. We describe our progress in each of these areas along with one of our application areas: mandibular resection.

Post-operative sore throat is one of the most common complications and complaints of patients after general anesthesia especially in operations that need endotracheal intubations. Its causes are: size of endotracheal tube and type of its cuff, inadequate airway humidification, trauma during intubation and suctioning, high flow of inspiratory gases, surgical manipulation of airway and adjacent o...
متن کاملCase Report of an open Neck Procedure Complication Associated with Laryngeal Mask Airway Use
Introduction: The laryngeal mask airway (LMA) is a safe method to establish airway control during general anaesthesia. In otolaryngology surgery, the use of a LMA is well established in ear surgery; however, the use of a LMA during open neck procedures remains controversial. We report a case in which the pharyngeal distortion by the LMA cuff resulted in an iatrogenic complication. Case Report...

I read the manuscript entitled “Case Report of An Open Neck Procedure Complication Associated with Laryngeal Mask Airway Use” by Subramaniam T et al. This is a valuable manuscript describing iatrogenic complications during level-2 cervical lymph node biopsy, in which the airway is managed with laryngeal mask airway (LMA). During the procedure, the surgeon realized that the mass was actually the...
