Blind 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 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 کاملThe awake Glidescope intubation: an additional alternative to the difficult intubation.
BACKGROUND The incidence of difficult intubations has consistently remained between 8 and 9%. We found a novel approach to the difficult intubation using a Glidescope in the awake spontaneously breathing patient. METHODS In a difficult airway, the same approach for an awake fiberoptic intubation including excellent nerve blocks and sedation can be used with a Glidescope in the same fashion as...
متن کاملDifficult intubation provokes bacteremia.
PURPOSE To evaluate the prevalence of bacteremia after mask ventilation, laryngoscopy, and endotracheal intubation before induction of general anesthesia and to discover any correlation between traumatic manipulations and bacteremia. The specific bacteria responsible, knowledge of which may guide the prophylactic use of antibiotics, also were investigated. METHODS Fifty patients were enrolled...
