Assessment of Truflex™ articulating stylet versus conventional rigid Portex™ stylet as an intubation guide with the D-blade of C-Mac™ videolaryngoscope during elective tracheal intubation: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
BACKGROUND A variety of videolaryngoscopes with angulated blade have been recently introduced into clinical practice. They provide an indirect view of the glottic structures in normal and challenging clinical settings. Despite the very good visualization of the laryngeal structures by these devices, the insertion and advancement of the endotracheal tube may be prolonged and occasionally fail as...
متن کاملComparison of Tracheal Intubation Using the Storz’s C-Mac D-bladeTM Video-Laryngoscope Aided by TruflexTM Articulating Stylet and the PortexTM Intubating Stylet
BACKGROUND Tracheal intubation using Storz's C-Mac D-blade(TM) videolaryngoscope is associated with difficult negotiation of the tracheal tube into the glottis due to steep angulation of its blade. OBJECTIVES In this study, we hypothesized that Truflex(TM) articulating stylet with its ability to dynamically tailor the ETT shape to patients' oropharyngeal anatomy would be better suited to the ...

متن کاملComparison of a new video-optical intubation stylet versus the conventional malleable stylet in simulated difficult tracheal intubation.
Handling and efficacy of a new video-optical intubation stylet were assessed in a simulated difficult tracheal intubation setting and compared with a conventional malleable stylet. Forty-five anaesthetists performed 10 tracheal intubations using both techniques. Laryngoscopy was performed by the observer, who created a grade 3 view according the classification by Cormack and Lehane. The time ta...
متن کاملLighted stylet tracheal intubation: a review.
Tracheal intubation is older than the recognized history of general anesthesia itself. In the late 18th century, The Royal Humane Society of London used tracheal intubation for resuscitating the near-drowned. Approximately 100 years later, MacEwan (1) performed a digital tracheal intubation in an awake patient before a chloroform and air general endotracheal anesthetic for the resection of a to...
