Pediatric video laryngoscope rescue for a difficult neonatal intubation.
Management of the airway in neonatal patients with craniofacial abnormalities or facial dysmorphism presents a challenge to health care providers. These patients may require specialized equipment and techniques to secure the airway safely.

متن کاملComparison of success of tracheal intubation using Macintosh laryngoscope-assisted Bonfils fiberscope and Truview video laryngoscope in simulated difficult airway
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Restriction of head and neck movements prevents the alignment of the oral, pharyngeal, and laryngeal axes and increases the incidence of difficult tracheal intubation in patients with cervical spine fractures. Video laryngoscopes have gained an important role in the management of difficult intubation, especially in situations with limited head and neck movements. This study ...
متن کاملAwake intubation with video laryngoscope and fiberoptic bronchoscope in difficult airway patients.
To the Editor: In a randomized clinical trial, Rosenstock et al.1 showed no significant difference in time to awake intubation by experienced investigators using the McGrath video laryngoscope (MVL) compared with the fiberoptic bronchoscope (FOB) in difficult airway patients. Accordingly, the authors conclude that awake MVL intubation seems to be a potential alternative to awake fiberoptic intu...
