Precedex approved for surgical anesthesia Posted by: "Joseph Eldor" csen_international@...  csen_international Sat Nov 1, 2008 2:56 am (PDT) The FDA...
Thanks for the article Ivan. Does anyone out there use the "flip-tip: segmented curved laryngoscope blades as listed in this article? I could never make it...
Jim,  I use them with very obese individuals, and with those who have a short thyromental distance. I think they are useful for displacing redundant...
James, we have the Rusch Flipper and I found it a little short. The advantage of being able to manipulate the tip didn't strike me as very useful, seems to me...
Ivan,  I too have trouble controlling the tongue of large individuals with a skinny Miller blade. In regards to blade length, earlier in my career an...
As you say, the tongue is not well controlled with the skinny Miller and so I am looking for a more flat and a wider surfae such as there is in the MAC or in...
I've never used a 4 Miller, and rarely even see one (we have one in the department, but it's tucked away somewhere). I should think it'd be far too clumsy to...
Sandym are you comparing the Glidescope to other novel intubation adjuncts when you say it is your favorite or is it the only one apart from the Wu that you...
We have, as you may remember, a goodly selection of alternatives. The Glidescope is the newest, and so far an excellent fallback in many otherwise difficult...
This device is shaped like the channeled laryngoscopes, i.e., the Airtraq, Pentax AWS, Wu, Bullard. It it physically quite thin (measurements to follow when I...
I will have to agree with Sandford on this issue. I use the MAC 4 only on persons with prognathia or over 6'2" height. The MAC 3 works well and the curve is...
Putative Ill Effects of Etomidate in Trauma Patients Inexplicable results and serious methodological issues did not deter the authors of this study from...
Thanks for posting this unresolved issue where Etomidate is suspected to probably cause harm similarly to the septic population. As for the review, it is just...
Paul, I think the long blade insertion is done to get it far enough under the epiglottis, as that is one of the problems, not getting it far in enough on the...
I set up a Facebook profile where I can post my pictures, videos and events and I want to add you as a friend so you can see it. First, you need to join...
Does anyone have any suggestions to improve the incidence of complete surgical anesthesia with a Bier block. We usually use them for carpal tunnel repair. I...
... Really effective exsanguination is important in getting this technique to work well. I'm not a big fan of the Esmarch bandage. Holding the arm up while...
I also use 0.5% Plain xylocaine. I place a tourniquet mid forearm, after the upper arm tourniquet before injecting the xylocaine and inject about 30cc ...
Gary In my residency, Bier Blocks were called idiot blocks, as no particular skill was involved. Although I have done some in my day, I generally detest those...

I use 0.5% xylocaine with 2 or 3 cc of 4.2% bicarb (don't know if the bicarb actually hastens the block...just how I was trained...theoretically it makes...
Is there any evidence/studies to show that the Intensive care specialist does not improves patient outcome. Dr. Naveen Malhotra MD, DNBE Associate Professor ...
This blue wand holds an atomizing stylet, which is removable, and chiefly used for delivering topical local anesthetic. This wand is based on the Augustine...
Looks ideal for limited mouth opening as Irene says, together with an otpical stylet, as Jim says. Of course, this device reminds one of the Airtraq. If...
wOW, Ivan, if you only get a look after insertion, that would be scary. If people are inserting the Miller without looking, THAT is a big concern to me. I...
