Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was detected for the first time in Wuhan, China, and cases were detected all over the world and in our country shortly after. With the increase in the number of cases, densities were experienced first in the inpatient services and then in the intensive care units, depending on the severity of the disease. Although it varies from country to country and even regionally, 20-26% of people with COVID-19 infection apply to hospitals with respiratory distress complaints, and 5-10% of these patients are reported to need intensive care. The Covid-19 pandemic causes ARDS and multiorgan failure, requiring mechanical ventilators and 3rd step intensive care follow-up in patients. Therefore, although there is no known specific treatment for the disease, the supportive treatment provided in intensive care units is effective on the morbidity and mortality in the course of the disease. In this article, we aim to explain respiratory support and airway management given to patients with acute respiratory distress and new type of coronavirus infection who need respiratory support.

Objective: Airway management is very important in COVID-19 infection, which was declared as a pandemic in March 2020 and is among the intensive contact procedures. Our aim in this study is to determine the knowledge levels and attitudes of anesthesia technicians about COVID-19 positive patients or endotracheal intubation using questionnaire questions we prepared. Methods: Anesthesia technicians who accepted to participate in the study were asked to fill in an online questionnaire that measures the level of knowledge about airway management in COVID- 19 patients. Results: Statistical analysis was performed on the data of 341 participants. The mean age of the participants was 33.07±8.43 years. Those with a working experience of 0-5 years (27.3%) and those working in a public hospital (43.1%) constituted the majority of the participants. It was seen that the majority of the participants correctly answered the questions related to intubation and extubation. The proportion of participants whose awareness increased due to the survey was 58.1%. Participants reported that they were most concerned about the risk of contamination. Conclusion: We found that in COVID-19 positive or suspicious cases, the points to be considered in endotracheal intubation are well known by the majority of the participants and their awareness on this issue is high.

Objective: Ensuring airway security carries the utmost importance in anesthesia. Specific predictive tests or findings for difficult airway are not defined for children under 3 years old. This study is aimed at finding out the value of anthropometric measurements in the prediction of difficult laryngoscopy and intubation in children by comparing them to direct laryngoscopic evaluation of Cormack-Lehane test and intubation evaluation of Intubation Difficulty Scale." Method: A total of 108 patients (aged 0-3 years), undergoing elective surgery were included in this study. Patients with known syndrome, facial anomaly, Anesthesiologists Physical Status Classification Class >2, and laryngeal mask airway were excluded from the study. Demographic data, head circumference, weight, height measurements, body mass index and percentile values were recorded by a pediatric surgeon in the preoperative period. During laryngoscopy and intubation evaluations were made using Cormack-Lehane Score and Intubation Difficulty Scale and recorded by a blinded resient. All recorded parameters were compared with Cormack-Lehane and Intubation Difficulty Scale scores. Results: When all parameters were compared with CL Grade I-II-III, IDS scores; a statistically significant difference was found between age and head circumference and CL Grade I, II (p<0.05, p<0.05). When all parameters were compared in terms of difficult and easy direct laryngoscopy, relations between difficult direct laryngoscopy and male gender and low weight percentile were observed (p<0.05). Difficult intubation was not found according to Intubation Difficulty Scale. Conclusion: Anthropometric measurements are not predictive for difficult direct laryngoscopy and difficult intubation in pediatric patients. The potentiality of difficult direct laryngoscopy could be higher in boys than girls and in children with low weight percentile. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: The tip of the endotracheal tube should be placed in appropriate depth in the trachea to prevent endobronchial intubation, unexpected extubation related to the movements of head and neck, vocal cord and nerve compression during intubation. Considering that the misplacement of the tube tip may occur more frequently in patients with short vocal cord-carina distance, prediction of these patients will prevent such complications. In this study, we investigated whether there is a correlation between vocal cord-carina distance and anatomical measurements of body surface. Methods: Two hundred patients were included in the study. Various airway measurements and different body surface anatomical measurements were recorded. Following endotracheal intubation, we calculated the vocal cord-carina distances using the markers placed on the endotracheal tube with the help of disposcope endoscope. Results: The mean vocal cord -carina distance was 13.1±1.9 cm in both men and women. The vocal cord- carina distance of 9 (4.5%) patients was 10.5 cm or less. A total of 34 patients (17%) had a short vocal cord- carina distance of less than 11.2 cm. Anatomical measurements best correlated with vocal cord- carina distance were sternomental distance (r=0.358), length (r=0.270) and ulnar length (r=0.256), respectively. Conclusion: We found poor correlation between anatomical measurements of body surface and vocal cor-d carina distance. We think that it is still difficult to predict the anatomical measurements of body surface of patients with short vocal cord- carina distance. We conclude that endotracheal tubes with a distance of less than 10 cm from the end of the marker lines can be safely used in the majority of Turkish adult patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Günümüzde hızla büyüyen ulaşım sektörü ülkelerin ekonomik, sosyal ve kültürel olarak gelişimine katkıda bulunan en önemli araçlardan birisidir. Deniz, Kara ve Hava taşımacılığından oluşun ulaşım sektörü içerisinde ise; özellikle havayolu ulaşımı, hem ulusal hem de uluslararası ticareti arttırmakta, taşıma maliyetlerini düşürmekte, yolcuların veya eşyaların en kısa zamanda, en az maliyetle, en çok kapasite de ulaşımına olanak tanımaktadır. Bu imkânlarının yanında ayrıca, sosyal ve kültürel olarak da insanları birbirine yaklaştırmakta ve kültürleri kaynaştırmaktadır. Hava taşımacılığının dünyadaki bu etkileyici gelişmelerinden bağımsız kalamayan ülkemizde de son yıllarda hava taşımacılığı önemli mesafeler kat etmiştir. Hatta ülkemizdeki havayolu sektörü büyüme konusunda, dünya ortalamasının daha üstünde bir performans sergilemektedir. Ancak sektörde küreselleşmenin de etkisiyle rekabet çok yoğun yaşanmakta ve bu sektörde hizmet veren işletmeleri zor durumda bırakmaktadır. Zorlu ortamdan çıkmanın yolu ise farklılaşmaktan geçmektedir. Farklılaşma ise, hava yolu işletmelerinin sunmuş oldukları hizmetin kalitesinde, güvenlik anlayışında, ikramlarında veya yer hizmetlerinde kendisini göstermektedir. Ancak bu durumun gerçekten böyle olup olmadığı ise araştırılması gereken bir durumdur. Bu amaçla, ülkemizde faaliyet gösteren yerli 9 havayolu işletmesinin Web siteleri, son görünür halleri ile içerik analizine tabi tutulmuştur. Web sayfaları üzerinden yapılan bu araştırmada, hava yolu işletmelerinin hizmet anlayışlarını kurumsal web sayfalarına yansıttıkları; hizmet anlayışı çerçevesinde de en fazla hizmet sunumu, uçuş noktası çeşitliliği, güvenli ve zamanında uçuş hususlarında kendileriyle ilgili bilgilere yer verdikleri bulgularına ulaşılmıştır.

Amaç: ùiddetli iskeletsel Sınıf-III’e sahip bir olguda bimaksiller ortognatik cerrahi sonrası sefaalometrik, orofarengeal hava yolu, uyku sırasında solunum fonksiyonları ve akciğer fonksiyonlarında meydana gelen değişikliklerin incelenmesi. Metod: 19 yaşındaki erkek hasta estetik olmayan profil ve lokmaları çiğneyememe şikayeti ile tedavi için başvurdu. Sefalometrik inceleme sonucunda 12 mm’lik negative overjet ile birlikte belirgin bir iskeletsel Sınıf-III bozukluk ANB=15 º tespit edildi. Cerrahi planlaması amacıyla bilgisayarlı tomografi görüntüleri alındı ve operasyon öncesi SimPlant Materialise, Belgium programı kullanılarak bir stereolitografik model SLA oluşturuldu. SLA planlamasına göre, maksilla, LeFort-I osteotomisi ile 10mm ilerletildi; mandibula BSSO ile 13mm geriye alındı. Cerrahi öncesi ve cerrahiden 6 ay sonra sefalometrik analiz, solunum fonksiyon testi SFT ve tam polisomnografi PSG içeren 1 gecelik uyku çalışması analizleri yapıldı. Bulgular: Maksiller ilerletme ve mandibular setback operasyonu sonucu, Sınıf-I molar ve kanin ilişkisine sahip bir okluzyon elde edildi. Overbite ve overjet ilişkisi ideal hale getirildi ve sefalometrik analizle uyumlu olacak şekilde, alt yüz yüksekliğindeki azalmanın bir sonucu olarak fasiyal estetik görünüm iyileştirildi. PSG, SFT ve sefalometrik değişimler, orofarengeal hacimde artış, daha iyi hava akımı ve uyku kalitesinde iyileşme olduğunu ortaya koydu. Sonuç: Fazla miktarda yapılan mandibular setback operasyonu, biyolojik adaptasyonu engelleyebilmekte ve uyku solunum bozukluklarına yol açabilmektedir. Bu sebeple, iskeletsel Sınıf-III malokluzyonlu hastalarda, hava yolunu azaltmayan maksiller ilerletme ile birlikte mandibular set back uygulaması düşünülmesi daha iyi olacaktır. Hasta, multidisipliner bir yaklaşımla uygun bir estetik ve fonksiyon kazanmıştır
