Using stylet in airtraq optical laryngoscope for armored tube intubation: A new experience

Comparing Shikani Optical Stylet and Macintosh Laryngoscope for Orotracheal Intubation

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...

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...

Optimising 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...

Airtraq laryngoscope for intubation in Treacher Collins syndrome.

SIR—Treacher Collins or Francescetti syndrome or Mandibulofacial Dysostosis is a congenital malformation of craniofacial development. He is characterized by hypoplasia of malar bones, palpebral fissure sloping downward and laterally with coloboma of the lower eyelids, micrognathia, malformation of external, middle and inner ear and cleft palate. In these patients conventional direct laryngoscop...
