Nasotracheal intubation using the Airtraq® optical laryngoscope in patients with a difficult airway.
To the Editor, We were interested in a recently published case report describing application of the Airtraq optical laryngoscope (Airtraq) for nasotracheal intubation (NTI) in a patient with a predicted difficult airway who was undergoing oral surgery. The authors are to be congratulated on their successful airway management in this challenging case. However, topical anesthesia was performed on...
متن کاملThe LMA CTrach in patients with difficult airways.
THE LMA CTrachTM system (The Laryngeal Mask Company, Singapore) was developed from the LMA FastrachTM system (The Laryngeal Mask Company) and consists of an LMA CTrachTM airway with fiberoptic channels and a detachable liquid crystal display viewer cum light source. The LMA CTrachTM enables ventilation, glottis visualization, and tracheal intubation via a laryngeal mask conduit. In this report,...
متن کاملTracheal intubation in patients with rigid collar immobilisation of the cervical spine: a comparison of Airtraq and LMA CTrach devices.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the Airtraq and CTrach in lean patients with simulated cervical spine injury after application of a rigid cervical collar. Eighty-six consenting adult patients of ASA physical status 1 or 2, who required elective tracheal intubation were included in this study in a randomised manner. Anaesthesia was induced using 1 microg kg(-1) fentany...
متن کاملAirtraq optical laryngoscope: advantages and disadvantages.
Difficult or unsuccesful tracheal intubation is one of the important causes for morbidity and mortality in susceptible patients. Almost 30% of the anesthesia-related deaths are induced by the complications of difficult airway management and more than 85% of all respiratory related complications cause brain injury or death. Nowadays, due to the advances in technology, new videolaryngoscopic devi...
متن کاملAirtraq, LMA CTrach and Macintosh Laryngoscopes in Tracheal Intubation Training: A Randomized Comparative Manikin Study.
OBJECTIVE Training students on simulators before allowing their direct contact with patients is well accepted. There is no clinical or manikin-based simulation study in the literature comparing tracheal intubation with Airtraq, laryngeal mask airway (LMA) CTrach and Macintosh laryngoscopes performed by medical students having no prior intubation experience. METHODS After obtaining written inf...
