Cannot ventilate, difficult to intubate.
EDITOR: We read with interest the letter by Slater and Bhatia [1] and would like to congratulate them on their successful management. We agree that the safest approach for their patient would have been an awake fibreoptic intubation. However, we would like to make a few comments. From the history and picture, it is not clear whether the patient had a prosthesis fitted into the left orbital cavi...

متن کاملSugammadex and the cannot intubate / cannot ventilate scenario in patients with predicted difficult airway ( 1 )
Editor—Curtis and colleagues presented an interesting case in which a patient with anticipated difficult intubation was paralysed with rocuronium and developed a cannot intubate/cannot ventilate (CI/CV) situation. Sugammadex was administered, resulting in successful recovery of the patient’s motor strength, but ventilation was still impossible, presumably due to swelling of the airway and bleed...

متن کاملDifficult to intubate, mandatory to oxygenate.
EDITOR: We read with great interest the paper by Slater and Bhatia [1]. In patients such as the one described in which surgery could represent a potential physical conflict for airway management, airway preoperative evaluation should be rigorous and precise, so as to allow planning of first-line strategy and of a ‘plan B’ in case of failure. In this case, no such information was available for t...
