International Survey of Mechanical Thrombectomy Stroke Systems of Care During COVID-19 Pandemic.
The COVID-19 pandemic has strained the healthcare systems across the world but its impact on acute stroke care is just being elucidated. We hypothesized a major global impact of COVID-19 not only on stroke volumes but also on various aspects of thrombectomy systems. ⋯ The corresponding author will consider requests for sharing survey data. The study was exempt from institutional review board approval as it did not involve patient level data.

Effect of neuromuscular block on surgical conditions during short-duration paediatric laparoscopic surgery involving a supraglottic airway.
Use of an LMA ProSeal™ laryngeal mask airway (P-LMA; Teleflex) with no neuromuscular block is considered a safe alternative to tracheal intubation in short-duration paediatric laparoscopic surgery. However, few studies have evaluated surgical conditions of short-duration paediatric laparoscopic surgery using this anaesthetic technique. We assessed surgical conditions for paediatric laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair using P-LMA with and without neuromuscular block. ⋯ ChiCTR2000038529.

Utility of fiberoptic bronchoscopy for difficult airway in neonates.
Newborns diagnosed with craniofacial malformations or laryngeal and tracheal alterations may often need advanced airway-management for airway stabilization. Although fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FB) is currently the gold standard for difficult airway management, there is a scarcity of published data on the application of FB in newborns for intubation and controlled extubation (CE). ⋯ Fiberoptic bronchoscopy is an essential tool to avoid the risk of a failed extubation in neonates with difficult airway.
