The new system avoids this brute-force approach. Called the soft robotic intubation system (SRIS), it relies on a soft, inflatable tube that everts from its tip — essentially turning inside out as it ...

A self-guided robotic device has the potential to open airways of critically injured patients faster and more reliably, according to a new study.

Maintaining an open airway is a critical priority in emergency medicine. Without the flow of oxygen, other emergency ...

The data was presented during the 50th annual scientific session of the American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) by ...

Repeat intubation of the sigmoid colon shows benefits in the detection of adenomas that may otherwise be missed with only a forward view of the right colon.

Use of hyperangulated video laryngoscopy reduced the number of attempts needed to achieve endotracheal intubation compared with direct laryngoscopy among adults undergoing elective or emergent ...

But the most valuable procedure they perform also puts them in the most danger. Health care workers across the U.S. have risen to the occasion in combating the coronavirus pandemic. Skilled ...

CLEVELAND, Ohio — During a medical emergency, a breathing tube is often required for patients with low oxygen levels or head and neck injuries. However, a new study from the Ohio State University ...

SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes Covid-19, is so infectious that protecting health care workers from it as they treat patients is an important issue in the fight against this pandemic. Reliable ...

A robotic device that crawls into lungs could help deliver vital air to patients, researchers say. To help anesthetized or critically ill patients breathe, flexible plastic tubes are placed into the ...
