Head and neck position for direct laryngoscopy.
The sniffing position (SP) has traditionally been considered the optimal head position for direct laryngoscopy (DL). Its superiority over other head positions, however, has been questioned during the last decade. We reviewed the scarce literature on the subject to examine the evidence either in favor or against the routine use of the SP. A standard definition for the position should be used (e....
متن کاملThe mystique of direct laryngoscopy.
Direct laryngoscopy and intubation is easy to define and conceptually very simple. A short, rigid instrument deflects the tongue and jaw, enabling a direct line of sight to the larynx and placement of a tube into the trachea. Historically, laryngoscopy has been taught to all providers of emergency care and resuscitation. It is the predominant intubation method in emergency care and, despite the...
متن کاملDirect laryngoscopy and rigid bronchoscopy.
Laryngoscopy and rigid bronchoscopy represent a necessary tool in the otolaryngologist's arsenal. The advancement in designing smaller and more versatile laryngeal equipment and fiber-optic telescopes as well as the increasingly higher resolution of still and video imagery have allowed otolaryngologists to better diagnose and treat many airway lesions. This chapter describes the basic equipment...
متن کاملPrevisional space during direct laryngoscopy
The laryngoscope should displace oral soft tissues forward out of the operator's vision. Therefore, the space in front of the view may be critical for determining the laryngoscopic view. The aim was to investigate the difference in the previsional space during difficult versus easy laryngoscopy (EL).Under general anesthesia, digital photographs of the lateral view of the head and neck were take...
متن کاملGlidescope® video-laryngoscopy versus direct laryngoscopy for endotracheal intubation: a systematic review and meta-analysis
INTRODUCTION The Glidescope(®) video-laryngoscopy appears to provide better glottic visualization than direct laryngoscopy. However, it remains unclear if it translates into increased success with intubation. METHODS We systematically searched electronic databases, conference abstracts, and article references. We included trials in humans comparing Glidescope(®) video-laryngoscopy to direct l...
