Mandibular osteoma: a case of impossible rigid laryngoscopy.
THE airway management of a surgical patient is one of the anesthesiologist’s primary concerns. The combination of several parameters seems to predict difficult laryngoscopy and intubation: short thyro-mental distance, protruding incisors, micrognathia, small mouth opening, acromegalic features, short neck, morbid obesity, and others. This case report describes another rare and frequently unreco...
متن کاملThe mystique of direct laryngoscopy.
Direct laryngoscopy and intubation is easy to define and conceptually very simple. A short, rigid instrument deflects the tongue and jaw, enabling a direct line of sight to the larynx and placement of a tube into the trachea. Historically, laryngoscopy has been taught to all providers of emergency care and resuscitation. It is the predominant intubation method in emergency care and, despite the...
متن کاملDirect laryngoscopy and rigid bronchoscopy.
Laryngoscopy and rigid bronchoscopy represent a necessary tool in the otolaryngologist's arsenal. The advancement in designing smaller and more versatile laryngeal equipment and fiber-optic telescopes as well as the increasingly higher resolution of still and video imagery have allowed otolaryngologists to better diagnose and treat many airway lesions. This chapter describes the basic equipment...
متن کاملPrevisional space during direct laryngoscopy
The laryngoscope should displace oral soft tissues forward out of the operator's vision. Therefore, the space in front of the view may be critical for determining the laryngoscopic view. The aim was to investigate the difference in the previsional space during difficult versus easy laryngoscopy (EL).Under general anesthesia, digital photographs of the lateral view of the head and neck were take...
متن کاملTransitioning From Direct to Video Laryngoscopy
Following the introduction of the straight (Miller, 1941) and curved (Macintosh, 1942) laryngoscope blades, laryngoscopy had remained largely unchanged for more than 50 years. With the development of rigid fiberoptic laryngoscopes—the first generation of video laryngoscopes—clinicians benefited from advances such as eyepieces that could be attached to optional video cameras, such as the Bullard...
