Hypopharyngeal evaluation in obstructive sleep apnea with awake flexible laryngoscopy: Validation and updates to Cormack-Lehane and Modified Cormack-Lehane scoring systems
No full textTo validate the use of Cormack-Lehane and Modified Cormack-Lehane scoring systems to classify patterns of hypopharyngeal airway visualization seen during awake flexible laryngoscopy among patients with obstructive sleep apnoea.
Validation study using samples collected from a prospective database.
University Medical Center.
Data were obtained from a retrospective review of a prospective database of flexible fiberoptic examination recordings in 274 consecutive OSA subjects (Stanford Sleep Medicine/Surgery Clinic).
Single still images from awake fiberoptic laryngoscopy examinations of the vocal cords from 90 different patients were presented to 2 experts and 4 novice raters. Raters used two grading systems (Cormack-Lehane scale and Modified Cormack-Lehane) to rate vocal cord visualization. Percent agreement and Cohen's kappa statistical analysis were used to evaluate inter-rater reliability and intrarater reliability for each grading system. Feedback from the participants was then used to propose updates to further improve upon the existing grading scales for their applicability to awake flexible endoscopy.
The Cormack-Lehane and Modified Cormack-Lehane scale both communicate unobstructed and restricted views of the vocal cords reliably. Compared to the 4-grade scale, however, a modified 5-grade Vocal Cord Grading System allows for better objective communication of common variations in hypopharyngeal airway visualization.
We propose a 5-Grade Vocal Cord Grading System that builds upon existing grading systems to allow for efficient and reliable communication of hypopharyngeal airway examination during awake fiberoptic laryngoscopy
First find of Cadophora antarctica Rodr.-Andrade, Stchigel, Mac Cormack & Cano in the Arctic
No full textCadophora antarctica Rodr.-Andrade, Stchigel, Mac Cormack & Cano was isolated from spoil tip of coal mine in the Arctic, on the territory of the Svalbard archipelago, and is represented by strain IVA-206. Macro- and micromorphology of the isolate were examined along with partial sequences of Internal transcribed spacer rDNA region (ITS1-5.8S-ITS2) and D1/D2 region of 28S rDNA (LSU). The isolate C. antarctica IVA-206 had a number of features that distinguished it from the strain C. antarctica CBS 143035 from Antarctica. Colonies of Arctic strain had darker pigmentation, ramoconidia and conidia were larger, and the optimal growth temperature was higher. As a result of our study, we first discovered the microfungi C. antarctica Rodr.-Andrade, Stchigel, Mac Cormack & Cano in the Arctic. Our study shows that C. antarctica Rodr.-Andrade, Stchigel, Mac Cormack & Cano is a bipolar species found in both the Arctic and Antarctic region

Comparison of ease of intubation in patients using C-MAC D-Blade between simulated cormack lehane 1 and 2 videolaryngoscopic view : a randomised controlled trial
No full textBackground: Difficult intubation could result in both morbidity and mortality. Current
surging popularity with videolaryngoscope such as C-MAC D-Blade can reduce the risk
of complications associated with difficult intubation. Despite showing good glottis view,
the unique laryngoscope shape could pose a problem during tracheal intubation. Having
a lesser appearance of the glottis may hypothetically ease the endotracheal tube delivery.
This study compares the ease of intubation in patients using C-MAC D-Blade between
simulated Cormack Lehane 1 and 2 videolaryngoscopic view among adult patient
undergoing elective surgery.
Methods: 94 adults with no features of difficult intubation undergoing elective surgical
procedures in Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia Kelantan were recruited and randomly
assigned to two groups either A for Cormack Lehane 1 (n=46) or B for Cormack Lehane
2 (n=48) videolaryngoscopic view. The outcome measured include duration of
intubations, number of intubation attempts, and easiness of intubations.
Results: Duration of intubation was less (7.7 ± 1.93s) in Group B than in Group A (9.2 ±
2.49s) with a mean difference of 1.4s (95% CI=0.53, 2.35, p=0.002). There is no
significant difference between the two groups in terms of the number of intubation
attempts (p=0.322) and easiness of intubation (p=0.78).
Conclusion: Cormack-Lehane 2 videolaryngoscopic view significantly reduce time to
intubation compared to Cormack-Lehane 1 videolaryngoscopic view when using C-MAC
D-Blade
