A self-guided robotic device has the potential to open airways of critically injured patients faster and more reliably, ...

Maintaining an open airway is a critical priority in emergency medicine. Without the flow of oxygen, other emergency interventions can become ineffective ...

Tracheal intubation is recommended for comatose patients, but its use in individuals with altered consciousness due to acute poisoning remains uncertain. A French team conducted a large randomized ...

How it works: The soft robotic arm has two components to properly position the breathing tube and rapidly guide it safely into the windpipe. The robotic arm could ideally reach more doctors and train ...

Use of hyperangulated video laryngoscopy reduced the number of attempts needed to achieve endotracheal intubation compared with direct laryngoscopy among adults undergoing elective or emergent ...

When techniques that paramedics could improve upon are discussed, often, the topic of advanced airway comes up. We have statistically low success rates in achieving an advanced airway with an ...

The new system avoids this brute-force approach. Called the soft robotic intubation system (SRIS), it relies on a soft, inflatable tube that everts from its tip — essentially turning inside out as it ...

Maintaining an open airway is a critical priority in emergency medicine. Without the flow of oxygen, other emergency interventions can become ineffective at saving the patient’s life. However, ...
