Awake light-aided blind nasal intubation: prototype device.
BACKGROUND Limited mouth opening associated with unavailable or ineffective fibreoptic bronchoscope (FOB) is an intubation challenge. A light-aiding device may facilitate the blind nasal intubation. METHODS Awake blind nasal intubation was planned for 16 elective patients with inaccessible oral route (three children and 13 adults, ASA I-II). Topical anaesthesia for the supraglottis, glottis, ...
متن کاملAwake blind nasal intubation.
Awake blind nasal endotracheal intubation is a modification of Sir Ivan Magill's technique of blind nasal intubation under ether anaesthesia.1 The introduction of neuromuscular blocking agents, facilitating oral intubation under direct vision, led to a decline in popularity of Magill's method and it is now used sparingly, if at all.2 Where the sedated patient remains awake and co-operative, the...

Sir,—Dr Collier is disappointed that we did not comment on e.c.g. changes during hypotension. Alas, we cannot remedy this because no such changes occurred. A continuous recording was taken in each case and none showed any arrhythmia. If she has evidence that changes in rhythm during hypotension indicate cardiac hypoxia and a low cardiac output (and "considered by some" hardly rates as evidence)...
متن کاملBlind nasal intubation as an alternative to difficult intubation approaches
Airway difficulties are a major concern for anesthesiologists. Even though fiberoptic intubation is the generally accepted method for management of difficult airways, it is not without disadvantages-requires patient cooperation, and cannot be performed on soiled airway or upper airways with pre-existing narrowing pathology. Additionally, fiberoptic bronchoscopy is not available at every medical...
متن کاملAnaesthesia for awake intubation
The first surgical choledochoscope was introduced in 1965. Murphy subsequently used this instrument to perform the first ever fibre-optic intubation in 1967. The fibre-optic bronchoscope has now become an essential anaesthetic instrument. Awake intubation of the airway can be achieved safely with a variety of techniques using topical analgesia, regional nerve blockade, with or without sedation....
