Nasal fiberoptic intubation with and without split nasopharyngeal airway: Time to view the larynx & intubate
ConclusionUse of SNPA is safe and effective in reducing time to visualize larynx and intubate trachea. Developing longer specific “Naso-laryngeal (not nasopharyngeal) FOB intubating aid” is assumed to be more appropriate. (Source: Egyptian Journal of Anaesthesia)

Effect of perioperative dexmedetomidine infusion on blood glucose levels in non-diabetic morbid obese patients undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery
Conclusions During the laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, dexmedetomidine premedication has effectively regulated the neuroendocrine stress response of general anesthesia as analyzed by perioperative blood sugar variation. Also, it maintained the hemodynamic stability. (Source: Egyptian Journal of Anaesthesia)
