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 glottic views and intubation times in the supine and 25 degree back-up positions
BACKGROUND We explored whether positioning patients in a 25° back-up sniffing position improved glottic views and ease of intubation. METHODS In the first part of the study, patients were intubated in the standard supine sniffing position. In the second part, the back of the operating table was raised 25° from the horizontal by flexion of the torso at the hips while maintaining the sniffing p...
متن کاملComparison of the 'sniffing the morning air' position and simple head extension for glottic visualization during direct laryngoscopy.
BACKGROUND This was a prospective randomized single-blinded clinical trial comparing the glottic views obtained during direct laryngoscopy between the 'sniffing the morning air' position and simple head extension. METHODS A sample of 378 patients, aged 18 to 75 years old with ASA physical status I or II, scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation, wer...
متن کاملAssessment of effect of nasal continuous positive pressure on laryngeal opening using fibre optic laryngoscopy.
AIM To assess the effect of nasal continuous positive airways pressure (CPAP) on the dimensions of the laryngeal opening. METHODS Nine preterm infants who had previously received ventilatory support for respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) were studied. All were receiving nasal CPAP. The laryngeal opening was visualised using a fibre optic video camera system. The ratio of width to length of t...
متن کاملBackward, upward, rightward pressure (BURP) effect improves the glottic view in retrograde light-guided laryngoscopy for tracheal intubation.
text, there is no statement to discuss the possible reasons why RLGL got better glottic view than direct laryngoscopy. As we know, backward, upward, rightward pressure (BURP) maneuver is a useful skill to facilitate glottis visualization for tracheal intubation.3 In Yang’s study, there is no description of applying BURP during tracheal intubation in both study groups. If no BURP was applied in ...
