Borescope assisted intubation through Fekry intubating airway; a prospective observational study

Objectives: Airway management starts from the use of a nasal prong for oxygenation to successful endotracheal intubation ventilation. Intubation has been one most studied subject in anesthesiology. Various methods and gadgets have advocated its success. We aimed evaluate rate intubations using ordinary borescope stylet through Fekry Oral Intubating (FOIA) manikin.
 Methodology: This manikin-based study enrolled 35 trainees, who performed guided by used FOIA as conduit. Every trainee was allowed two attempts. The primary outcome assess success intubation. Secondary outcomes included precise time intubate, number attempts, need external manipulations.
 Results: Our results revealed that 62.9% participants successfully (success rate) 51.43% succeeded intubate manikin first attempt. External manipulation needed 71.4% form cricoid pressure or laryngeal movement visualize glottic view. ranged 16 120 sec with median 50 mean 69.37 ± 42.26 sec.
 Conclusion: A combination Airway, an intubating can be remote areas, where advanced airway aids are not available.. Future studies warranted optimize this technique.
