Cervical spine motion: a fluoroscopic comparison of the AirTraq Laryngoscope versus the Macintosh laryngoscope.
BACKGROUND The optimal technique to intubate the trachea in patients presenting with a potential or documented cervical spine (C-spine) injury remains unresolved. Using continuous fluoroscopic video assessment, C-spine motion during laryngoscopy with an AirTraq Laryngoscope (King Medical Systems, Newark, DE) was compared to that with intubation using a Macintosh blade. METHODS Twenty-four hea...
متن کاملThe use of Airtraq laryngoscope versus Macintosh laryngoscope and fiberoptic bronchoscope by experienced anesthesiologists.
OBJECTIVE The aim was to compare the hemodynamic parameters, intubation times, upper airway trauma and postoperative sore throat scores of the patients with normal airway anatomy, intubated with the Airtraq, Macintosh laryngoscope and fiberoptic bronchoscope, by experienced anesthesiologists. METHODS Ninety patients, scheduled to undergo elective surgery under general anesthesia were randomly...
متن کاملTeaching tracheal intubation: Airtraq is superior to Macintosh laryngoscope
BACKGROUND Tracheal intubation with Macintosh laryngoscope is taught to medical students as it is a lifesaving procedure. However, it is a difficult technique to learn and the consequences of intubation failure are potentially serious. The Airtraq optical laryngoscope is a relatively novel intubation device, which allows visualization of the glottic plane without alignment of the oral, pharynge...
متن کاملAdvantages Of The Airtraq Laryngoscope
Possibly the most daunting task faced by critical care medical personnel are emergency intubations. Often times you are presented with a patient you are unfamiliar with who needs to be intubated in order to increase their chances of survival. In an attempt to cut costs many rural hospitals staff their emergency rooms with personnel whose intubation skills may be marginal at best and an experien...
متن کاملThe McGrath Series 5 video laryngoscope versus the Macintosh laryngoscope: a randomized trial in obstetric patients.
BACKGROUND/AIM Anesthesiologists have encountered various difficulties in securing the airway. Therefore, we compare the intubation times and hemodynamic changes between the McGrath Series 5 video laryngoscope and the Macintosh laryngoscope. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 80 obstetric patients were divided into 2 groups, orotracheally intubated with either the McGrath video laryngoscope or ...
