Nasotracheal intubation using the Airtraq® optical laryngoscope in patients with a difficult airway.
To the Editor, We were interested in a recently published case report describing application of the Airtraq optical laryngoscope (Airtraq) for nasotracheal intubation (NTI) in a patient with a predicted difficult airway who was undergoing oral surgery. The authors are to be congratulated on their successful airway management in this challenging case. However, topical anesthesia was performed on...
متن کاملEvaluation of intubation using the Airtraq or Macintosh laryngoscope by anaesthetists in easy and simulated difficult laryngoscopy--a manikin study.
The Airtraq Laryngoscope is a novel intubation device which allows visualisation of the vocal cords without alignment of the oral, pharyngeal and tracheal axes. We compared the Airtraq with the Macintosh laryngoscope in simulated easy and difficult laryngoscopy. Twenty-five anaesthetists were allowed up to three attempts to intubate the trachea in each of three laryngoscopy scenarios using a La...
متن کاملIntubation with Airtraq™ laryngoscope in a morbidly obese patient
The Airtraq laryngoscope (AL) is a new disposable tracheal intubation device. The authors reported the case of a successful awake intubation with AL of the trachea in a morbidly obese patient. A 54-year-old female, morbidly obese (BMI 38 kg/m), patient was scheduled for a tumor removal of the right eye under general anesthesia. She had symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux. The preoperative airwa...
متن کاملPediatric 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. Video laryngoscopy with standard pediatric sized blades is a newly available and emerging technology and may serve as another tool when a potentially difficu...
متن کاملComplications after using the Airtraq laryngoscope for a predicted difficult intubation.
Although standard management of an expected difficult intubation is based on fibre-optic techniques, the application of optical laryngoscopes such as Airtraq is gaining widespread acceptance. We here describe a case where an intubation attempt with the Airtraq laryngoscope was not only unsuccessful, but negatively influenced subsequent use of a flexible fibroscopic approach.
