- Predictors for failure of supraglottic superimposed high‐frequency jet ventilation during upper airway surgery in adult patients; a retrospective cohort study of 224 casesAbstract Supraglottic Superimposed High Frequency Jet Ventilation (SSHFJV) maximizes surgical field during endoscopic upper airway surgery. In our retrospective series of 224 cases, there was a low incidence (12%) of failure with the use of SSHFJV in upper airway surgery. Positive history of pulmonary pathology (OR=4.91) and high BMI (OR=1.15) were found to be significant independent factors for failure of SSHFJV in adult patients undergoing u

- Prediction of aspiration in dysphagia using logistic regression: oral intake and self-evaluationAbstract Objectives Oropharyngeal dysphagia (OD) has a major influence on health in general and health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) in particular. The gold standard assessments for OD, especially for aspiration in OD, are fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) and videofluoroscopy (VFSS), but not all patients have access to such procedures. Therefore, the current stu
- Presentations of Pediatric Emergencies in a Tertiary Teaching Hospital in North India: An OverviewAbstract Pediatric otorhinolaryngological emergencies constitute a major portion in emergency room presentations. The etiology of ENT problems in children is different from those in adults. Most of these can be managed conservatively while some need prompt management at a well equipped centre. To analyze the etiology, clinical profile and line of management of pediatric otorhinolaryngological emergencies. Retrospectively, recor
- Our Experience with Two Handed Endoscopic TympanoplastyAbstract Endoscopic tympanoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure and may be an alternative to conventional microscopic tympanoplasty with less operative time, producing similar graft uptake. Endoscopic tympanoplasty has a major disadvantage of single handedness which is overcome by a novel concept of “Two-handed technique” using Khan’s Justtach (endoholder). The aim was to study the outcomes of two handed endoscopic tympanop
- An improved method for examining fat tasteAbstract Purpose The detection of fat taste in humans requires the delivery of hydrophobic stimuli to the oral cavity. Due to their low solubility in water, these fat taste stimuli are difficult to administer to test subjects by means of aqueous solutions or dispersions.
