Changes in the light intensity of the fiberoptic laryngoscope blade by steam sterilization.

بررسی شیوع آسیب به دندانها حین لوله‌گذاری تراشه بوسیله لارینگوسکوپ مکینتاش استاندارد در مقایسه با لارینگوسکوپ مکینتاش تغییریافته

ABSTRACT The Macintosh Laryngoscope has proved itself over half a century and is still one of the most popular laryngoscopes. Even in experienced hands, however, complications can occur notably damage to the maxillary incisors. Damage to teeth is reported to be the most common single reason for complaints against anesthesiologists. Dental injuries could be caused by friction or by contac...

An Airway which Facilitates intubation with a Fiberoptic Laryngoscope

Management of the Difficult Paediatric Airway with a Simple Fiberoptic-Assisted Laryngoscope: A Report of Two Cases with Pierre Robin and Patau's (Trisomy 13) Syndrome.

Airway management of children with congenital craniofacial anomalies is a challenge for paediatric anaesthesiologists. We do not have any video-assisted airway device in our department for difficult paediatric intubations. We decided to attach a regular fiberoptic (outer diameter; 3.7 mm, Karl Storz, Germany) scope to a conventional Macintosh Laryngoscope (size 1). We describe two cases of Pier...

WuScope Improves View in C-Spine Immobilized Intubations

Intubation during c-spine immobilization is inherently more difficult because of decreased glottic visualization. The WuScope is a rigid, fiberoptic laryngoscope designed to facilitate visualization and tracheal intubation without neck extension. In a randomized study, these authors compared the WuScope and conventional laryngoscopy with a Macintosh blade in 87 c-spine immobilized patients unde...

Metallurgical fatigue failure analysis of the brazed steam turbine blade

In this paper, failure mechanism of a 17th stage blade of an 82.5 MW steam turbine that caused damage to the internal turbine compartment and the adjacent blade equipment has been studied. In order to determine the cause of failure and prevent similar events, various metallurgical and mechanical investigations including chemical composition analysis, metallography and microstructural analysis, ...
