Randomized Controlled Trial
Effect of Intravenous Lidocaine Infusion on Postoperative Early Recovery Quality in Upper Airway Surgery.
Systemic infusions of lidocaine have been widely used as perioperative analgesic adjuvants. The aim of this randomized, double-blinded, controlled trial was to investigate the effect of perioperative lidocaine infusion on postoperative early recovery quality in upper airway surgery. ⋯ 1b Laryngoscope, 131:E63-E69, 2021.

Observational Study
A Prospective Observational Study of Video Laryngoscopy Use in Difficult Airway Management.
Video laryngoscopy has grown tremendously in popularity over the last decade for management of the anticipated difficult airway. The use of video laryngoscopy has not been adequately studied in the head and neck pathology patient population, including those with masses, previous head and neck surgery, or radiation. ⋯ 3 Laryngoscope, 131:82-86, 2021.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Which Anesthesia Regimen Is Best to Reduce Pulmonary Complications After Head and Neck Surgery?
The differences between intravenous and inhalation anesthesia in clinical postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) have been studied in cardiac and lung resection surgery. Clinical evidence for the effects of these two anesthetics on PPCs in other types of surgery is still missing. We aimed to assess the impact of sevoflurane and propofol on the incidence of PPCs in patients undergoing surgery for head and neck cancer. ⋯ 2 Laryngoscope, 131:E108-E115, 2021.

To assess the efficacy of the various therapies used for the prevention of vestibular migraine (VM). ⋯ Various treatment modalities have been evaluated for preventative treatment of VM. Physician familiarity, patient comorbidities, and the side-effect profiles of various interventions likely influence the selection of intervention. Future randomized controlled trials with restrictive inclusion criteria and generalizable standardized outcome measures will allow for more robust meta-analyses and for more evidence-based treatment of vestibular migraines.
