A goat was scheduled for experimental surgery under general anesthesia. The first attempt of performing endotracheal intubation failed and provoked laryngeal spasm. After repeated succesful intubation of inhalation anesthesia was delivered in high concentrations of sevoflurane. Suddenly hypertension and tachycardia were observed, followed by foamy airway secretion and then severe airway hemorrh...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Postextubation problems such as laryngeal edema and reintubation are common complications after tracheal intubation. The cuff-leak test has been proposed as a method of identifying those patients at high risk in clinical practice, but its efficacy remains controversial. METHODS We searched electronic databases including PubMed, the Cochrane Controlled Trials Register,...

Introduction: Laryngeal dysfunction may be divided into three categories; organic, neurologic and functional disorders. Dysphonia and hoarseness are the most common symptoms and, in some cases, the only signs of laryngeal dysfunction. In differential diagnosis of any type of chronic hoarseness, a neoplastic process must be considered and, thus continuous light video laryngoscopy can provide imp...

During the first month, this infant vomited immediately after a teaspoon of scrambled egg on two occasions. The third time, at two months of age, he rapidly developed anaphylaxis after an egg-based feed: urticaria, edema of the ears, dyspnoea, wheezing, grunting, laryngeal edema, and delayed refill time. Intramuscular epinephrine and hydrocortisone, inhaled oxygen, and intra-osseous fluids were...

UNLABELLED Steroids are potent inhibitors of inflammation and wound repair. Local administration of steroids directly into the larynx has been reported in many laryngeal diseases. AIM The purpose of this study is to review related literature about the use of steroid injection in patients with benign, inflammatory and chronic vocal disease. METHODOLOGY We performed an electronic survey in Me...
