Choosing a laryngoscope blade: straight vs curved.
epidural set with both horizontal and vertical flanges (in contrast to vertical flanges only or a smooth plunger) can avoid confusion between syringes (Figure). The feel and weight of the loss of resistance syringe with free and consistent movement of the plunger are well discernable to the experienced hand. One may preferably use such dedicated syringes for neuraxial drug administration. Furth...
متن کاملA randomised comparative study of Miller laryngoscope blade versus Oxiport® Miller laryngoscope blade for neonatal and infant intubations
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Neonates and infants are prone to oxygen desaturation during the induction of general anaesthesia. Pharyngeal oxygen insufflation has been shown to delay the onset of desaturation and hypoxaemia during apnoea. We tested the hypothesis that deep laryngeal oxygenation with Oxiport® Miller blade would delay the onset of desaturation compared to laryngoscopy without supplemental...
متن کاملChanging the laryngoscope blade and its effect on laryngeal visualization.
To the Editor: Amour and colleagues compared single-use with reusable metal laryngoscope blades and found better laryngeal exposure and more successful intubation with the former. Laryngeal visualization and subsequent tracheal intubation are dependent, however, on many other factors besides the blade type. Upper airway anatomy, experience of the laryngoscopist, adequate relaxation, patient’s h...
متن کاملEmergency intubation of infants: does laryngoscope blade design make any difference?
OBJECTIVE To compare intubation times and ease of use for a range of infant laryngoscope blades in the hands of accident and emergency (A&E) personnel. METHODS Seven different blades were compared in terms of intubation times and ease of use scores in the hands of 30 A&E senior house officers (SHOs) and nurses using a standard infant manikin. RESULTS There was a significant difference in in...
متن کاملAn evaluation of a modified Macintosh laryngoscope in a manikin.
PURPOSE In this manikin study a modified Macintosh blade was prospectively compared with its original focussing on the forces exerted on the maxillary incisor teeth and intubation success. The modified blade, a standard Macintosh blade with a reduced proximal flange, was intended to reduce the forces exerted on the maxillary incisors. METHODS A manikin equipped with two sensors, to measure fo...
