Bibliometric analysis of the top 100 most-cited articles on video laryngoscope from 2011 to 2022.
The popularity of video laryngoscope (VL) has increased rapidly since its introduction in the late 1990s. However, a comprehensive overview of VLs evolution and impact is lacking, which merits further investigation. ⋯ By using bibliometric analysis and natural language processing methods, we effectively summarized the applications of VL in both clinical and teaching settings, particularly in reducing the risk of cross-infection during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 pandemic.

The incidence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) after total joint arthroplasty (TJA) procedures are lower in Asian populations than in Caucasian populations. Therefore, the need for thromboprophylaxis in Asian patients undergoing TJA remains inconclusive. The aim of this study was to validate the clinical outcomes of thromboprophylaxis in selective TJA patients in a Taiwanese population. ⋯ Providing thromboprophylaxis for selective TJA patients within the Taiwanese population was effective, as indicated by the low incidence of DVT and PE. Complications, such as surgical site infection, should be carefully weighed and managed.
