Randomized Controlled Trial
Effects of Natural Sound Therapy on Pain and Agitation Induced by Endotracheal Suctioning: A Real-World Study.
Music therapy has been used as a complementary intervention to provide synergistic analgesia for various procedures. ⋯ In this real-world study, natural sound therapy was part of a holistic bundle of interventions used to reduce pain and agitation in surgical intensive care unit patients during endotracheal suctioning.

Multicenter Study Observational StudyPrevalence of Bacterial Codetection and Outcomes for Infants Intubated for Respiratory Infections.
To determine the prevalence of respiratory bacterial codetection in children younger than 2 years intubated for acute lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI), primarily viral bronchiolitis, and identify the association of codetection with mechanical ventilation duration. ⋯ Bacterial codetection was present in almost a third of children younger than 2 years requiring intubation and ICU admission for LRTI, but this was not associated with prolonged IMV. Further large studies are needed to evaluate if codetection is associated with shorter IMV duration.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Comparison of the effects of paratracheal pressure and cricoid pressure on placement of the i-gel® supraglottic airway: a randomized clinical trial.
Anesthesiologists can use supraglottic airway devices as a rescue technique for failed intubation even in patients with an increased risk of gastric regurgitation. In this randomized study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of cricoid pressure and paratracheal pressure on placement of the i-gel® (Intersurgical Ltd., Wokingham, Berkshire, UK). ⋯ ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05377346); first submitted 11 May 2022.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyComparison of BlockBuster laryngeal mask with Air-Q intubating laryngeal airway as a conduit for fiber-optic guided intubation in children: A prospective randomized controlled study.
The pediatric sizes of BlockBuster supraglottic airway (SGA) have been introduced recently. Its efficacy as a conduit for endotracheal intubation in children has not been assessed. Newer devices are often compared with Air-Q SGA to assess their intubating capability. ⋯ BlockBuster SGA may be a useful alternative to Air-Q for SGA-assisted, fiber-optic-guided tracheal intubation in children.
