    Authors Conducted an E-Mail Survey of Anesthesiologists in the US in 2010

    Appendix 2: Reference 1 Methods: Authors conducted an e-mail survey of Anesthesiologists in the US in 2010. Results: “Five thousand anesthesiologists were solicited; 615 (12.3%) responses were received. Twenty-four percent of respondents had installed an AIMS, while 13% were either installing a system now or had selected one, and an additional 13% were actively searching. Larger anesthesiology groups with large case loads, urban settings, and government affiliated or academic institutions were more likely to have adopted AIMS. Initial cost was the most frequently cited AIMS barrier. The most commonly cited benefit was more accurate clinical documentation (79%), while unanticipated need for ongoing information technology support (49%) and difficult integration of AIMS with an existing EMR (61%) were the most commonly cited problems.” [Trentman TL, Mueller JT, Ruskin KJ, Noble BN, Doyle CA.

Introduction This airway assessment resource has been produced for use by ANZCA Fellows and trainees to improve understanding and guide management of airway assessment and difficult airways. It is the first of an airway resource series and complements the Transition to CICO resource document (and ANZCA professional document PS61), which are available on the ANZCA website. There are four components to this resource: Part 1. Introduction. Part 2. The traditional approach to normal and difficult airway assessment. Part 3. The anatomical basis for airway assessment and management: i) The “two-curve” theory. ii) The “three-column” approach. Part 4. Airway device selection based on the two-curve theory and three-column assessment model. OVERVIEW The role of airway assessment is to identify potential problems with the maintenance of oxygenation and ventilation during airway management. It is the first step in formulating an appropriate airway plan, which should incorporate a staged approach to manage an unexpected difficult airway or the institution of emergency airway management.

    Can Thyromental Distance Be Measured Accurately?

    Journal of Clinical Monitoring and Computing https://doi.org/10.1007/s10877-017-0090-3 ORIGINAL RESEARCH Can thyromental distance be measured accurately? Bin Wang1 · Hui Peng2 · Weidong Yao1 · Ling Guo1 · Xiaoju Jin1 Received: 22 June 2017 / Accepted: 6 December 2017 © The Author(s) 2017. This article is an open access publication Abstract Using the thyromental distance (TMD) measured based on the ultrasonographic location of the thyroid cartilage prominence as the criterion, we investigated the accuracy of TMD measurement by surface landmark identification of the thyroid carti- lage prominence. Twenty-nine anesthetist resident volunteers were recruited, including 10 first-year residents, 9 second-year residents and 10 third-year residents. Each volunteer measured the other 28 volunteers’ TMD. Then, the thyroid cartilage prominence of each volunteer was identified by ultrasonography of the junction of the vocal cord and thyroid cartilage, and the TMD was measured precisely. The error of the TMD measurement was determined by the minimal detectable differ- ence (MDD) compared to the ultrasound measurement. A difference of greater than 5.4 mm between the TMD measured by volunteers and that based on ultrasound localization was defined as a measurement error. The measurement error rate of females’ TMD was significantly higher than that of males’ (50 vs 10%, P < 0.001). The error rates of anesthetist residents of first-year, second-year and third-year were 34, 27, and 31%, respectively, and were not significantly different. The error of TMD measurement by surface landmark identification is often, especially for women. More clinic experience don’t improve it.
