Prophylactic percutaneous transtracheal catheterisation in the management of patients with anticipated difficult airways: a case series.

abstract：:Animal data have demonstrated increased block duration after local anaesthetic injections in diabetic rat models. Whether the same is true in humans is currently undefined. We, therefore, undertook this prospective cohort study to test the hypothesis that type-2 diabetic patients suffering from diabetic peripheral neu...
