Prediction and Management of Difficult Tracheal Intubation
There have been various attempts at defining what is meant by a difficult intubation. Repeated attempts at intubation, the use of a bougie or other intubation aid have been used in some papers, but perhaps the most widely used classification is by Cormack and Lehane [1] which describes the best view of the larynx seen at laryngoscopy (figure 1). This should be recorded in the patient’s notes wh...
متن کاملPrediction of difficult tracheal intubation: time for a paradigm change.
BACKGROUND It has been suggested that predicting difficult tracheal intubation is useless because of the poor predictive capacity of individual signs and scores. The authors tested the hypothesis that an accurate prediction of difficult tracheal intubation using simple clinical signs is possible using a computer-assist model. METHODS In a cohort of 1,655 patients, the authors analyzed the pre...
متن کاملClinical experience with the SensaScope®, a hybrid video intubation stylet for the difficult intubation
Introduction. The existing video-assisted endoscopic instruments to facilitate difficult intubation are either rigid or flexible and have therefore specific limitations due to their basic characteristics. The SensaScope® is a hybrid video intubation stylet containing rigid and flexible parts, which has been designed to overcome these limitations. We evaluated this instrument for its suitability...
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...
متن کاملPredicting difficult intubation.
The amount of larynx seen at intubation was assessed in 633 adult patients undergoing routine surgery. Various measurements of the head and neck were made in an attempt to discover which features were associated with difficulty with laryngoscopy (defined as the inability to see even the arytenoids). In addition 38 patients, reported by colleagues because they had been "difficult to intubate", w...
