Learning fiberoptic intubation for awake nasotracheal intubation

Background Fiberoptic nasotracheal intubation (FNI) is performed if it is difficult to open the mouth or if intubation using laryngoscope is expected to be difficult. However, training is necessary because intubation performed by inexperienced operators leads to complications. Methods Every resident performed intubation in 40 patients. Success of FNI was evaluated as the time of FNI. First in...

Parker Flex-It stylet is as effective as GlideRite Rigid stylet for orotracheal intubation by Glidescope.

OBJECTIVES To evaluate Parker Flex-It stylet as an alternative to GlideRite Rigid stylet to aid tracheal intubation with the Glidescope.  METHODS This prospective randomized trial was conducted at King Abdulaziz University Hospital, College of Medicine, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia between May and December 2014. Sixty American Society of Anesthesiologists I-II patients were rand...

Effective nasotracheal intubation using a modified transillumination technique.

PURPOSE Difficult intubation is a major problem in anesthesia. In case of limited mouth opening only a few intubating devices are available. Our study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of a modified transillumination technique for nasotracheal intubation (NTI). METHODS One hundred twenty-three patients needing NTI were studied, 76 in group A: NTI with no expected intubatio...
