Study Design: The present study is a systematic review of the literature. Objective: The goal of this study is to review our experience and the current literature on airway management techniques in maxillofacial trauma. Methods: Independent searches of the PubMed and MEDLINE databases were performed from January 1, 2019 to February 1, 2019. Articles from the period of 2008 to 2018 were collected. All studies which described both airway management and maxillofacial trauma using the Boolean method and relevant search term combinations, including “maxillofacial,” “trauma,” and “airway,” were considered. Results: A total of 452 relevant articles in total were identified. Articles meeting inclusion criteria by abstract review included 68 total articles, of which 16 articles were focused on airway management techniques for maxillofacial trauma in the general population and were deemed appropriate for inclusion in the literature review. Conclusions: Establishing an effective and stable airway in patients with maxillofacial trauma is of paramount concern. In both the acute setting and during delayed reconstruction, special considerations must be taken when securing a reliable airway in this patient population. The present article provides techniques for securing the airway and algorithms for utilization of these techniques, including both during the initial evaluation and the definitive operative management.

The article offers a systematic review of foreign investigations into posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) for the past twenty years as well as the findings of the research into the drug-free treatment of PTSD in the light of an extensive systematic review of the scientific literature of the World Health Organization (WHO). The article presents the results of the investigations into the risk factors, the prognoses, the statistical data on the prevalence of PTSD, and the diagnostic criteria of PTSD according to ICD-11 and DSM-V, including the relevant and the most recent investigations into the PTSD and Complex PTSD (ICD-11). As a result of the review, two scientifically proven effective methods of the drug-free treatment of PTSD have been revealed: Trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) as well as cognitive or behavioural stress management techniques that do not focus on trauma.

Introduction and objective Studies on telemedicine have shown success in reducing the geographical and time obstacles incurred in the receipt of care in traditional modalities with the same or greater effectiveness; however, there are several barriers that need to be addressed in order for telemedicine technology to spread. The aim of this review is to evaluate barriers to adopting telemedicine worldwide through the analysis of published work. Methods The authors conducted a systematic literature review by extracting the data from the Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) and PubMed (MEDLINE) research databases. The reviewers in this study analysed 30 articles (nine from CINAHL and 21 from Medline) and identified barriers found in the literature. This review followed the checklist from Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2009. The reviewers organized the results into one table and five figures that depict the data in different ways, organized by: barrier, country-specific barriers, organization-specific barriers, patient-specific barriers, and medical-staff and programmer-specific barriers. Results The reviewers identified 33 barriers with a frequency of 100 occurrences through the 30 articles. The study identified the issues with technically challenged staff (11%), followed by resistance to change (8%), cost (8%), reimbursement (5%), age of patient (5%), and level of education of patient (5%). All other barriers occurred at or less than 4% of the time. Discussion and conclusions Telemedicine is not yet ubiquitous, and barriers vary widely. The top barriers are technology-specific and could be overcome through training, change-management techniques, and alternating delivery by telemedicine and personal patient-to-provider interaction. The results of this study identify several barriers that could be eliminated by focused policy. Future work should evaluate policy to identify which one to lever to maximize the results.
