Background: Double-lumen endotracheal (DLT) is commonly used for one-lung ventilation and lung separation during thoracic surgery. There are case reports of medically induced laryngeal granulomas, mainly in patients a...
BACKGROUND Most case reports on laryngeal granuloma formation have described patients after tracheotomy and single-lumen endotracheal intubation.Few studies have investigated vocal cord granuloma formation after doubl...
Background: Accurate determination of the optimal insertion depth of a pediatric endotracheal tube (ETT) is quite important. The aim of this study was to create an easily available formula that can be used to determin...
Background: Surveys of pediatric endotracheal tube (ETT) management previously reported that specialists in pediatric anesthesia and intensive care medicine preferred to use uncuffed ETTs for children younger than 8 t...
Background: Significant resource constraints and critical care training gaps are responsible for the limited development of intensive care units (ICUs) in resource limited settings. We describe the implementation of a...

Objective:To investigate the effects of dexmedetomidine + propofol intervention during general anesthesia induction on endotracheal intubation.Methods: A total of 218 patients receiving tracheal intubation general ane...
Endotracheal/endobronchial metastasis (EEM) generally originates from nonpulmonary malignancies such as cancers of the breast, colon, and kidney. Although the incidence of EEM has been reported to be between 2.0% an...
We assessed incidence and outcomes of patients with ventilator-associated respiratory infections (VARI) due to tracheobronchitis (VAT) and pneumonia (VAP), including length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay and ventil...
We agree with the editorial published by Feng et al concerning the insufficient routine monitoring of tracheal tube cuff pressure(TTCP) by anesthesiologists, and propose an improvised technique that can facilitate and...
