Recent trends in airway management: we are not ready to give up fiberoptic endoscopy

چکیده
The purpose of this correspondence is to discuss recent findings related to current trends in airway management and to discuss the utilization rates of video laryngoscopes versus traditional techniques in USA, UK, and Canada. To highlight the increased use of video laryngoscopes in difficult airway situations, data on the use of alternative airway devices at our institution collected from 2008 to 2010 are presented alongside the results of previously published surveys collected from 2002 to 2013.

Airway management is the most important duty of an anesthetist, so more attention should be paid on different educational approaches in tackling difficult airway. Having problems in airway control leads to terrible consequences such as hypoxia and aspiration. Intubation with fiberoptic is a useful method for a safe airway management. When neck movement is not possible due to cervical spine ...

Fiberoptically guided tracheal intubation represents one of the most important advances in airway management to occur in the past thirty years. Perhaps its most important role is in management of the anticipated difficult airway. This is a situation in which the dangers of encountering the life-threatening "can't intubate, can't ventilate" situation can be avoided by placement of an endotrachea...

Case report: Severe burn injuries are associated with significant pathologic changes in nearly all of organ systems, among them are facial and airway injuries. Thus, one of the important points is airway management in head and facial burn injuries which lead to difficult or impossible tracheal intubation in these patients. In this study we introduce a 37 year-old man, who was burned with ele...
