Awake fibreoptic intubation for airway burns.
A young adult was admitted to a casualty department with severe burns sustained in a motor vehicle fire. His airway was initially patient, but in grave danger of obstruction due to inhalational injury. Conventional methods of airway management were unable to guarantee a patent airway and a novel approach is described.
متن کاملFibreoptic and stylet aided orotracheal intubation: a different approach for the difficult intubation.
To the Editor: We report a technique of orotracheal intubation using the combination of a flexible fibreoptic bronchoscope (FOB) and a stylet in a patient whose operation was postponed initially because of failed intubation. A 44-yr-old male was scheduled for total resection of the thyroid gland. After induction of anesthesia, a laryngeal view was not obtained by direct laryngoscopy. An experie...
متن کاملFibreoptic intubation--a case series and brief review.
Fibreoptic intubation has been established as a major advance in the management of difficult or failed intubation in the awake patient. If necessary, it may be performed under general anaesthesia with either spontaneous or controlled ventilation. This should be considered early in the management of failed intubation, before multiple attempts with other techniques lead to haemorrhage and oedema ...
متن کاملFibreoptic awake intubation--a method of topical anaesthesia and orotracheal intubation.
Three cases of trismus caused by oropharyngeal sepsis are described where fibreoptic-assisted awake intubation using an oral airway intubator and nebulised lidocaine was safely and successfully achieved.
متن کاملManoeuvres used to clear the airway during fibreoptic intubation.
Fibreoptic orotracheal endoscopy under general anaesthesia may be more difficult to perform if the upper airway cannot be fully cleared. We have studied the effectiveness of jaw thrust, lingual traction and the application of both manoeuvres simultaneously, in opening up the orolaryngeal airspace in 30 ASA group 1 or 2 patients aged between 16 and 70 yr undergoing elective general surgery requi...
