I'm working through this article and will post review comments here. I'm also making changes that I hope make it more readable for the general reader. Please examine these changes carefully to ensure I haven't altered the meaning (in a bad way), introduced some grammatical error, added unsourced material, or otherwise worsened things. Please feel free to undo anything you're not happy with. Colin° Talk 19:44, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
I believe intubation is also used to deliver anaesthetic gases. Could you mention this as an indication? Under what circumstances would a general anaesthetic be given without intubation? Would it be for short-duration procedures, does it depend on the agents used, etc? Colin° Talk 19:44, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
The Airway obstruction paragraph has no inline citation. Generally every paragraph should have a citation at the end, and of course more in between if necessary. I'll assume a citation refers to all the text preceding it up to the previous citation. It is very important that none of the text is unsourced and based solely on your own knowledge and experience. Reviewers at FAC will be strict on WP:V and WP:NOR (to the degree they are able to check it). Colin° Talk 19:44, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
I've eliminated some of the "should"s in the section. WP doesn't give medical advice, but it can document guidance. Colin° Talk 19:44, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
"Various types of endotracheal tubes are available that have endobronchial as well as endotracheal lumens." We need to explain "endobronchial". I'm guessing the end(s?) of this tube goes into the bronchi (i.e. into one or other lungs). How far? Also, I'm getting a bit confused as to what "lumens" are. I thought the lumen was just a word for the hollow bit of a tube. So how can the hollow bit reach the bronchi if the tube doesn't also? Is this a tube that splits in two? Why does it say "as well as"? Does it have several openings along its length (one in the trachea and one in the bronchi)? Colin° Talk 21:20, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
The list of minor and serious complications had some repetition, which I've removed, but perhaps it still needs a little rework to better group/rank into common/rare minor/serious or some other useful arrangement. Colin° Talk 18:24, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
Colin asked me to have a peek at this article. On a first skim reading I find it very informative and reasonably comprehensible for a doctor from an unrelated field of medicine. But the point is whether we can make it good enough to be featured quality for the general public.
Some general comments currently, before I do a closer read:
I will happily provide ongoing input if this is deemed helpful. JFW | T@lk 23:45, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
I'm way off course, totally lay and have gone further (to Dengue fever), but I have to stop to ask why there are unnumbered footnotes (listed at end, not "in-line" I think it's officially called; though numbers do show up in the text, just aren't linked (by corresponding numbers) to the notes) in this article. (In the fever article, for one more example amongst the hund er thousands of articles I've seen and worked on, I've never seen this format.) Why? Thanks. Cheers. (And I am now (hopefully more or less) back on course, having found the "subscription required" labeling protocol. Thanks again.) Swliv ( talk) 16:42, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for your response. Now frankly I'm sorry to say I can't see what my question was. It all looks like it makes sense now, and did then. Aargh. Can't believe I was just confused by "Notes" v. "References". If I figure out my question again later, I'll be back. Thanks again. Swliv ( talk) 22:24, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
I started an article on Andranik Ovassapian. He is cited in this article and could be linked to it. I am not sure how to add an author link with the referencing format used in the article. TJMSmith ( talk) 17:26, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
