Aerosol and droplet dispersion during emergency front-of-neck access - A bench-top manikin simulation study

Thrust on airway research – Exploring the publications

“…The journal featured a comprehensive range of articles, including one review, nine studies, and one case series discussing various laryngoscopic techniques, in addition to simulation studies. [ 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 ] Notably, the prominence of video laryngoscopy (VL) as a growing alternative to the standard Macintosh laryngoscope and fibreoptic bronchoscope was evident. These investigations also involved the use of aerosol boxes, introducing additional challenges.…”

“…These investigations also involved the use of aerosol boxes, introducing additional challenges. [ 9 20 ] Authors also explored alternate positioning during intubation. [ 15 ] An insightful review article meticulously examined the pros and cons of VL compared to traditional laryngoscopy.…”

“…This year, two manikin studies were published. [ 9 20 ] Another study analysed how video-assisted guidance and replay impact intubation skills among novice anaesthesiologists. [ 16 ]…”
