The effect of virtual endoscopy on diagnostic accuracy and airway management strategies in patients with head and neck pathology: a prospective cohort study

Abstract: Virtual endoscopy improves the accuracy in diagnosis of airway pathology when compared with CT alone. Furthermore, it leads to more conservative and potentially safer airway management strategies in patients with head and neck pathology.

“…In this issue of the Journal, El-Boghdadly et al report the use of imaging software to convert helical CT scans to a three-dimensional (3D) virtual endoscopy format that can be used to deliver a ''fly through'' intraluminal view of the supraglottic, glottic, and subglottic anatomy, similar to that obtained during flexible bronchoscopy. 6 They assessed the utility of the imaging by asking a convenience sample of their colleagues to indicate their management of ten scenarios, each comprised of a brief clinical vignette and a standard helical CT scan. The 3D virtual endoscopy imaging was added at a later date, and their management choices were reassessed.…”

“…To find out, we downloaded a trial version of the OsiriX (Pixmeo SARL, Bernex, Switzerland) software that ElBoghdadly et al describe in the Methods section of their study. 6 We then set about obtaining Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) data of anonymized helical CT images, keeping a close tally of the expended time and effort. After 46 min of telephone time during four phone calls to three departments and 24 email exchanges with five different individuals over three days, we did obtain a DICOM file compatible with the OsiriX software.…”

“…However, the 'unknown unknowns', or novel parameters that we do not yet consider, are not the focus of this interesting study.By recycling parameters that have been examined in the past, there is a risk that we are simply looking at the same metrics but from different perspectives. Face-mask ventilation (FMV)is not a priority area in airway management research [5], but for a step change in clinical practice of FMV, we require novel approaches to prediction and management [1,6,7]. It is time that we move away from complex scoring systems and harness technology better, such as point-of-care imaging, machine learning and 3D facial imaging technology.…”
