Laryngeal Tube as airway rescue device from prehospital to tracheostomy: case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction Airway management is a priority in the care of any critically ill or injured patient. The insertion of a cuffed tracheal tube is essential to obtain an early and effective control of the airway. However, the attempted insertion of a tracheal tube under direct laryngoscopy is associated to a number of practical problems in pre-hospital trauma care. An extraglottic airway may be the answer in those patients where this simple and common procedure becomes complex and unobtainable.
