Comment on ‘Utilising 3D printing in assessment of anticipated difficult airways’: a response

Le résumé fourni par la source

We thank Dr Ormandy for their contribution and congratulate them on their work [1]. Unfortunately, we were limited to five references as per the author guidelines set out by Anaesthesia Reports [2]. We are glad to share the aim of enhancing the pre-assessment of patients with a predicted difficult airway through use of technologies. Clinical applications of three-dimensional (3D) modelling are rapidly evolving, with new materials and printing methods such as those we describe becoming more accessible to clinicians [3]. We agree that combined with modalities such as virtual reality (VR) and video-endoscopy (VE) this is an exciting progressive space within the field of anaesthesia [4, 5]. IA has previously received honoraria as educational grants from Stortz, Ambu, Fisher and Paykel, Flexicare, Verathon Medical and BioMarin.
