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 کاملThe McCoy laryngoscope expands the laryngeal aperture in patients with difficult intubation.
To the Editor:-The McCoy levering laryngoscope is a useful device,’.’ but does not uniformly improve the view in some cases of difficult laryngoscopy.’.’ We report a case in which the McCoy laryngoscope did not improve the direct view of the larynx, but instead lifted the epiglottis and expanded structures around the laryngeal aperture (LA), thereby facilitating “blind” tracheal intubation. A 7...

متن کاملComparison of the glidescope, CMAC, storz DCI with the Macintosh laryngoscope during simulated difficult laryngoscopy: a manikin study
UNLABELLED BACKGROUND Videolaryngoscopy presents a new approach for the management of the difficult and rescue airway. There is little available evidence to compare the performance features of these devices in true difficult laryngoscopy. METHODS A prospective randomized crossover study was performed comparing the performance features of the Macintosh Laryngoscope, Glidescope, Storz CMAC a...
