This chapter discusses the experience of a Neurologist with a patient who presented with a history of three bilateral convulsive seizures over a period of several months. The Neurologist started him on an adjunct antiepileptic therapy and he became seizure free. However, the situation changed dramatically after a stable period of twelve months. He started having seizures again and his mother was able to recognize that these seizures were different from those he had had one year earlier. Prolonged video-EEG monitoring confirmed the diagnosis of Non-Epileptic Seizures (NES). The Neurologist then referred the patient to a Clinical Psychologist, who used Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and taught him some techniques to cope with the condition. Eventually, the patient and his family were able to manage the NES better with the help of the psychologist. The patient reported a significant improvement clinically with less frequent NES and they learned how to manage the situation without visiting the Emergency Department.

Recent advances in technology have made laryngoscopy less dependent upon a direct line of sight to achieve tracheal intubation. Whether these new devices are useful tools capable of increasing patient safety depends upon when and how they are used. We briefly consider the challenges in reviewing the emerging literature given the variety of devices, “experience” of the care providers, the clinical settings, and the definitions of outcome. We examine some of the limitations of conventional direct laryngoscopy, question the definitions we have used to define success, discuss the benefits of indirect (video) techniques, and review evidence pertaining to their use in the patients in the operating room, emergency department, and intensive care unit.
