Indirect laryngoscopy with rigid 70-degree laryngoscope as a predictor of difficult direct laryngoscopy.
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES The commonly-used predictors for difficult airway management are not very accurate. We investigate the power of indirect laryngoscopy with the rigid 70-degree laryngoscope as a predictor of difficult visualisation of the larynx with direct laryngoscopy. METHODS We performed preoperative indirect laryngoscopy with the rigid laryngoscope on 300 patients. The vision o...
متن کاملComparison of Laryngoscopic View and Hemodynamic Changes with Flexitip McCoy and Macintosh Laryngoscope Blade in Predicted Easy and Difficult Airway
Objective: To compare the laryngoscopic view and the hemodynamic changes by using flexitip McCoy laryngoscope with Macintosh laryngoscope. Method: Study design-Prospective randomized controlled study. A total of 220 patients were included in the study, Patients were allocated on the basis of their airway anatomy in to two groups, one is predicted easy group and the other one was predicted diffi...
متن کاملEvaluation of intubation using the Airtraq or Macintosh laryngoscope by anaesthetists in easy and simulated difficult laryngoscopy--a manikin study.
The Airtraq Laryngoscope is a novel intubation device which allows visualisation of the vocal cords without alignment of the oral, pharyngeal and tracheal axes. We compared the Airtraq with the Macintosh laryngoscope in simulated easy and difficult laryngoscopy. Twenty-five anaesthetists were allowed up to three attempts to intubate the trachea in each of three laryngoscopy scenarios using a La...
متن کاملDifficult Diagnosis & Management of Tuberculosis Made Easy
Tuberculosis (TB) is a well-known public health priority, involving thousands of physicians and nurses all over the world in a difficult diagnostic and treatment process. While in high TB (and HIV) prevalence settings, the disease is well known by all health staff categories, in the low TB incidence countries of Europe tuberculosis is becoming less and less prevalent over the last decades. The ...
متن کاملUse of the Airtraq laryngoscope in a model of difficult intubation by prehospital providers not previously trained in laryngoscopy.
This study evaluated the ability of prehospital providers who had no previous training in intubation, to use an Airtraq laryngoscope to intubate a manikin model of a Cormack and Lehane grade III/IV view. Volunteers attending the Australian College of Ambulance Professionals conference, Adelaide, in November 2006 received approximately 5 min of Airtraq training. First-time intubation success rat...
