Direct versus video laryngoscopy with standard blades for neonatal and infant tracheal intubation with supplemental oxygen: a multicentre, non-inferiority, randomised controlled trial

Thomas Riva et al.

Summary: Direct laryngoscopy and video laryngoscopy with supplemental oxygen were compared in neonates and infants undergoing tracheal intubation. The study found that video laryngoscopy with standard blades and supplemental oxygen increased the success rate of first-attempt tracheal intubation compared to direct laryngoscopy. The incidence of adverse events was similar between the two groups.

Success rate of prehospital emergency front-of-neck access (FONA) a systematic review and meta-analysis

Sarah Morton et al.

Summary: This systematic review with meta-analysis evaluated the number and success rate of front-of-neck access (FONA) procedures in the prehospital setting. The study found that the success rate for FONA is high, with surgical techniques being more successful than needle techniques. These findings support existing UK prehospital guidelines.

Five-year audit of adherence to an anaesthesia pre-induction checklist

A. Fuchs et al.

Summary: Despite improvements in patient safety related to airway management, there are still life-threatening events. This audit investigated adherence to an airway checklist at an institution from 2016 to 2021. Over the 5 years, there was an increase in adherence to the checklist, although areas for improvement were identified.

Analysis of a national difficult airway database

A. Sajayan et al.

Summary: Difficult airway management has a negative impact on patient care and clinical outcomes and is difficult to predict. However, despite airway assessment, unanticipated difficult airway management continues to occur. The rate of airway-related critical incidents is high, highlighting the need for improvement in airway management.

Rabbit training model for establishing an emergency front of neck airway in children

Christian P. Both et al.

Summary: The study developed a modified emergency front of neck access (eFONA) technique using a rabbit cadaver model to teach invasive airway protection in a CICO situation in children under 6 yr. The success rate for tracheotomies performed by 29 anaesthesiologists was 95%, with a median performance time of 67 seconds. Trained participants had a longer performance time compared to untrained participants, and the length of the tracheotomy incision showed a significant correlation with performance time.

Canadian Airway Focus Group updated consensus-based recommendations for management of the difficult airway: part 1. Difficult airway management encountered in an unconscious patient

J. Adam Law et al.

Summary: The CAFG conducted a thorough review of literature and discussions to update practice recommendations on airway management, emphasizing the use of video laryngoscopy for tracheal intubations. In cases of failed intubation, the recommendations include considering exit strategy options such as awakening, temporizing with supraglottic airway, or front-of-neck airway access.

A Primer for Pediatric Emergency Front-of-the-Neck Access

Joana Berger-Estilita et al.

Summary: Difficulties in intubating and oxygenating healthy children can lead to poor outcomes and may require emergency tracheal access. Clinical assessment and anticipatory planning are essential in managing this rare but potentially devastating emergency situation.
