In management of patients with an emergency, airway management and ventilatory care are the highest priorities (1, 2). Everybody who is confronted with a patient in distress has to start with the ABC’s: Airway, Breathing, and Circulation. Establishment of an airway is the first step in the ABC’s. If the airway is blocked, death will occur within a few minutes. When an airway is only partially b...

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the success rates for insertion using the laryngeal mask, laryngeal tube, and I-gel supraglottic airway devices in a neonatal airway manikin during a resuscitation simulation course. Methods: Three groups of health care professionals were given a brief supervised training in using the devices. For each participant the positioning of each device wa...

Airway fire is a well-documented event during airway surgery with devastating outcomes. Individuals involved in the care of these patients should be aware of this possible complication and precautions needed to prevent this complication.

Objectives: Airway management starts from the use of a nasal prong for oxygenation to successful endotracheal intubation ventilation. Intubation has been one most studied subject in anesthesiology. Various methods and gadgets have advocated its success. We aimed evaluate rate intubations using ordinary borescope stylet through Fekry Oral Intubating (FOIA) manikin.
 Methodology: This maniki...
