INTRODUCTION We report prospectively recorded observational data from consecutive cases in which the attending pre-hospital critical care anaesthesiologist considered performing pre-hospital advanced airway management but decided to withhold such interventions. MATERIALS AND METHODS Anaesthesiologists from eight pre-hospital critical care teams in the Central Denmark Region (a mixed rural and...

Background: Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) is an effective method of ventilation in newborns with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). Using an appropriate nasal skin care protocol is identical to prevention or reduction of nasal skin breakdown in those who receive NCPAP. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of an evidence-based clinical care protocol on nasal sk...

Background: Endotracheal intubation is an essential resuscitative procedure in the emergency setting, to maintain a patent airway. In our day-to-day practice at tertiary care centre calls for remain quite demand. As we all know setting first advocate maintaining so-called A (airway), B(breathing) and C(circulation) this where lies importance of intubation.
 Objective: The study was done as...

The prehospital emergency airway management is a key moderating factor for patient survival and mortality rates. There has been much debate around the optimum method of management. This commentary critically appraises recent systematic review which assesses harms benefits three different strategies range clinical scenarios. Commentary on: Carney N, Totten AM, Cheney T et al. Prehospital Airway ...

BACKGROUND Children with complex airway problems see multiple specialists. To improve outcomes and coordinate care, we developed a multidisciplinary Children's Airway Center. For children with tracheostomies, aspects of care targeted for improvement included optimizing initial hospital discharge, promoting effective communication between providers and caregivers, and avoiding tracheostomy compl...

The anaesthetic management of paediatric patients with Patau syndrome presents unique challenges, particularly when combined craniofacial and cardiac defects limited airway resources. This case report highlights our experience in managing a syndromic child difficult resource-constrained environment. inability to secure the adequately can pose significant perioperative risks. In this case, we su...

BACKGROUND Intensivists may be primarily responsible for airway management in non-operating room locations. Little is known of airway management training provided during fellowship.Our primary aim was to describe the current state of airway education in internal medicine-based critical care fellowship programs. METHODS Between February 1 and April 30, 2011, program directors of all 3-year com...

† Most airway complications are unanticipated and can lead to harm and death, particularly in the intensive care unit and emergency department. † Complications include pulmonary aspiration, oesophageal intubation, and failed airway management. † Factors to reduce complications include preparedness, assessment, planning, communication, teamwork, skill with multiple techniques, and situation awar...
