The Difference

Abstract Background The present study aimed to compare three fixation methods for orotracheal intubation. Methods Through literature retrieval, the effects of the adhesive/twill tape method, fixator method, and adhesive/twill tape–fixator alternation method on patients with tracheal intubation in the intensive care unit (ICU) were compared. Results The fixator and alternation methods were more effective in protecting the tongue mucosa and teeth. The alternation method was superior to the other two methods in maintaining the position of the endotracheal intubation. However, the difference in facial and lip injuries between the three methods was not statistically significant. Conclusion The fixator method can significantly reduce intraoral injury and is more suitable for older people with weak tongue mucosa and loose teeth. These are worth popularizing among a wider group.

Mean Time

We present a technique for treating retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) with cryotherapy under general anesthesia, administered and monitored by a neonatologist, with endotracheal intubation in the neonatal intensive care unit that avoids the serious systemic complications associated with the administration of local anesthetics. Although no significant complications arose in this series, having the intubated infant monitored by trained neonatology staff allows appropriate management should complications arise. We have used this technique to treat 20 eyes with threshold ROP. The mean time to extubation was 40.2 hours. The systemic status and discharge from the neonatal intensive care unit were not influenced by the general anesthesia. This technique allows quick and accurate application of the cryotherapy in a stable and controlled setting. We recommend that physicians consider cryotherapy under general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation for infants with ROP. This technique allows ROP to be treated adequately with minimal risk to the infant.

Laryngoscope Blades

A method for objective evaluation of the difficulty of endotracheal intubation is described. Our data indicate that the angle formed by the light-beam axis of the laryngoscope blade and the laryngotracheal axis, which we call “angle ϕ”, is analogous to the degree of difficulty of endotracheal intubation. Using this method, we compared the effectiveness of a standard Macintosh and a modified bevelled Macintosh blade in 27 tracheostomized Intensive Care Unit patients under general anaesthesia. Statistical analysis of our results indicate that the bevelled blade significantly facilitates endotracheal intubation.

Detergent Powder

After ingesting or inhaling laundry detergent powder, eight children required hospital admission. The predominant symptoms were stridor, drooling, and respiratory distress. All but one patient underwent endoscopy of the airways and the esophagus, five children were admitted to the intensive care unit, and four children required endotracheal intubation. Laundry detergent ingestions are generally considered to have minor consequences, and there exists a paucity of literature on the subject. Evidence of significant morbidity incurred because of ingestion or inhalation of sodium carbonatecontaining laundry detergent powder is presented, together with a review of the existing literature.
