Is the Ambu aScope 3 Slim single-use fiberscope equally efficient compared with a conventional bronchoscope for management of the difficult airway?
The study objective was to evaluate whether the single-use fiberoptic bronchoscope (FOB), Ambu aScope 3 Slim, was equally efficient compared with the conventional reusable FOB, Olympus LF-GP, for nasal fiberoptic intubation in a manikin. ⋯ The Ambu aScope 3 Slim required more time to intubate than the conventional reusable FOB. It requires more rigidity, similar to the conventional FOB for management of the difficult airway.

Conversion disorder is a psychiatric disorder in which psychological stress causes neurologic deficits. A 28-year-old female surgical patient had uneventful general anesthesia and emergence but developed conversion disorder 1 hour postoperatively. ⋯ Neurologic examination and imaging revealed no neuronal damage, herniation, hemorrhage, or stroke. The patient mentioned failing examinations the day before surgery and discontinuing her prescribed antidepressant medication, leading us to diagnose conversion disorder, with eventual confirmation by neuroimaging and follow-up examinations.
