Abstract
Neuromuscular blocking agents are recommended by the European Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care (ESAIC) and European Society of Paediatric Anaesthesia (ESPA) for facilitating tracheal intubation in children. Despite these recommendations, real‐world data on how neuromuscular blocking agents are used, monitored, and reversed remain scarce.
This tutorial provides a practical guide to rapid sequence induction and intubation using total intravenous anaesthesia. It covers pharmacology, dosing in physiologically unstable patients, drug delivery techniques, and safety checks in emergency and elective settings.

Background: Nasotracheal intubation (NTI) is a common method for securing the airway during head and neck surgeries. This study was undertaken to compare NTI with videolaryngoscope (TuorenTM) and Macintosh direct laryngoscope in patients undergoing elective surgeries under general anaesthesia (GA) with NTI. Method: Exc...

We report the use of dexmedetomidine sedation, high-flow nasal oxygen and regional anaesthesia for a term neonate (16 days old, 2.6 kg) with amniotic band syndrome undergoing hand surgery. We discuss the pharmacokinetics of dexmedetomidine and use of high-flow nasal oxygen insufflation in this age group. Age-dependent...

: Introduction: Neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) make tracheal intubation easier but can cause adverse effects. Propofol suppresses airway reflexes, and an opioid adds to this effect, so the combination may allow intubation without NMBAs. We evaluated intubating conditions and the haemodynamic response with a prop...

Weaning and extubation in neurocritical care are high ‐ risk decisions complicated by impaired consciousness and airway ‐ protection challenges and practice guidance remains fragmented.
