Awake tracheal intubation using the Airtraq laryngoscope: a case series.
The Airtraq laryngoscope (AL) is a new single use indirect laryngoscope designed to facilitate tracheal intubation in anaesthetised patients either with normal or difficult airway anatomy. It is designed to provide a view of the glottis without alignment of the oral, pharyngeal and tracheal axes. We report four cases of successful awake tracheal intubation using the AL. The first case is a pati...
متن کاملOptimising tracheal intubation success rate using the Airtraq laryngoscope.
In this study we have used a video-recording, retrospective analysis technique to evaluate the influence of the Airtraq laryngoscope manipulations and the resulting changes in position of the glottic opening and inter-arytenoids cleft, on the success rate of tracheal intubation. The video recordings of the internal views of 109 tracheal intubation attempts, in 50 anaesthetised patients were ana...
متن کاملAirway management at floor level: a comparison of tracheal intubation using the Macintosh and Airtraq laryngoscopes.
Practitioners providing pre-hospital care during civilian practice and on military operations may be required to perform airway management and tracheal intubation at floor level. It has been shown that intubation using the Airtraq laryngoscope is easier to learn than standard Macintosh laryngoscopy. We hypothesised that the Airtraq would be easier to use and have shorter intubation times than M...
متن کاملLightwand tracheal intubation with and without muscle relaxation.
BACKGROUND Lightwand tracheal intubation is a suitable technique for patients who are difficult to intubate but who are receiving effective ventilation. The effect of muscle relaxants on the efficacy of lightwand intubation has not yet been evaluated. The authors conducted a prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to assess the effectiveness and incidence of complications of lightwa...
متن کاملComparison between Glidescope and Lightwand for tracheal intubation in patients with a simulated difficult airway
BACKGROUND Although Lightwand and Glidescope have both shown high success rates for intubation, there has been no confirmation as to which device is most effective for difficult endotracheal intubation. We compared the Glidescope and Lightwand devices in terms of duration of intubation and success rate at the first attempt in a simulated difficult airway situation. METHODS Fifty-eight patient...
