A Prospective Cohort Study Comparing Medical Student Intubation on Cadaveric and Manikin Models Using the King Visionâ„¢ Videolaryngoscope and Direct Laryngoscopy

A Prospective Cohort Study Comparing Medical Student Intubation on Cadaveric and Manikin Models Using the King Visionâ„¢ Videolaryngoscope and Direct Laryngoscopy


Authored by Thomas M Triplett

24 medical students with no experience intubating humans were randomized into two groups: DL first or King Visionâ„¢ videolaryngoscope first. Following a short training, techniques were practiced ona manikin model. Intubation success, ease of use, and one timed manikin intubation was recorded. Students crossed, repeated training and trial with other technique. Students then intubated 3 cadavers with their initial technique, crossed over to intubate these same cadavers using their second technique. Cormack-Lehane (C-L) view of the glottic opening, time to intubation, intubation success, ease of use, and preferred technique were recorded.

Total Spinal Blockage after Spinal Anaesthesia for Perianal Fistula-Juniper Publishers

Juniper Publishers - Journal of Anesthesia Abstract Total spinal block is one of the rare complications of regional anaesthesia. It can occur after spinal, epidural or nerve plexus block. Early detection and treatment is essential to prevent mortality. We report a case of total spinal block occurring in a man with perianal fistula after receiving uneventful spinal anaesthesia for caesarean section treated successfully with prompt cardiovascular resuscitation and general anaesthesia. Introduction Spinal anaesthesia is being increasing used as a mode of anaesthesia for performing treatment for perianal fistula [ 1 ]. Although it is a safe and effective means of giving anaesthesia, at times it can lead to complications like hypotension, shivering, respiratory distress, unconsciousness, etc [ 2 ]. Total spinal block is a rare complication of spinal anaesthesia. It is a life threatening complication presenting with symptoms of
