Optimising tracheal intubation success rate using the Airtraq laryngoscope.
In this study we have used a video-recording, retrospective analysis technique to evaluate the influence of the Airtraq laryngoscope manipulations and the resulting changes in position of the glottic opening and inter-arytenoids cleft, on the success rate of tracheal intubation. The video recordings of the internal views of 109 tracheal intubation attempts, in 50 anaesthetised patients were ana...
متن کاملAwake tracheal intubation using the Airtraq laryngoscope: a case series.
The Airtraq laryngoscope (AL) is a new single use indirect laryngoscope designed to facilitate tracheal intubation in anaesthetised patients either with normal or difficult airway anatomy. It is designed to provide a view of the glottis without alignment of the oral, pharyngeal and tracheal axes. We report four cases of successful awake tracheal intubation using the AL. The first case is a pati...
متن کامل[Difficult laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation: observational study].
INTRODUCTION Since anesthesia complications associated with unexpected difficult airway are potentially catastrophic, they should be avoided. The modified Mallampati test and jaw-thrust maneuver enable the identification of difficult airway. The aim of this study was to associate the modified Mallampati test and the jaw-thrust maneuver with laryngoscopy (Cormack-Lehane) in an attempt to identif...
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 کاملThe number of tracheal intubation attempts matters! A prospective multi-institutional pediatric observational study
BACKGROUND The impact of multiple tracheal intubation (TI) attempts on outcomes in critically ill children with acute respiratory failure is not known. The objective of our study is to determine the association between number of TI attempts and severe desaturation (SpO2 < 70 %) and adverse TI associated events (TIAEs). METHODS We performed an analysis of a prospective multicenter TI database ...
