چکیده

We describe the insertion of the double lumen endobronchial tube (DLT) using a non-channeled standard blade of the King Vision videolaryngoscope for one lung ventilation (OLV) in a morbidly obese patient with a predicted difficult airway, severe restrictive pulmonary function, asthma, and hypertension. The patient was scheduled for a video-assisted thoracoscopic lung biopsy. The stylet of the DLT was bent to fit the natural curve of the #3 non-channeled blade of the King Vision videolaryngoscope. We conclude that the use of King Vision videolaryngoscope could offer an effective method of DLT placement for OLV. TM

Clinical experience with the C-Mac videolaryngoscope in morbidly obese patients.

BACKGROUND The use of videolaryngoscopes is recommended as a part of routine practice in anaesthesia for morbidly obese patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate C-Mac in a group of morbidly obese patients to see if it improves intubation conditions. METHODS 86 morbidly obese (BMI > 40 kg m⁻²) patients scheduled for bariatric surgery were included in the study. In every studied case, C-...

Lung Separation in the Morbidly Obese Patient

Lung separation techniques in the morbidly obese patient undergoing thoracic or esophageal surgery may be at risk of complications during airway management. Access to the airway in the obese patient can be a challenge because they have altered airway anatomy, including a short and redundant neck, limited neck extension and accumulation of fat deposition in the pharyngeal wall contributing to di...

Comparison of intubation success and glottic visualization using King Vision and C-MAC videolaryngoscopes in patients with cervical spine injuries with cervical immobilization: A randomized clinical trial

BACKGROUND Glottic visualization can be difficult with cervical immobilization in patients with cervical spine injury. Indirect laryngoscopes may provide better glottic visualization in these groups of patients. Hence, we compared King Vision videolaryngoscope, C-MAC videolaryngoscope for endotracheal intubation in patients with proven/suspected cervical spine injury. METHODS After standard i...

Comparison of Arndt-endobronchial blocker plus laryngeal mask airway with left-sided double-lumen endobronchial tube in one-lung ventilation in thoracic surgery in the morbidly obese

This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and performance of Arndt-endobronchial blocker (Arndt) combined with laryngeal mask airway (LMA) compared with left-sided double-lumen endobronchial tube (L-DLT) in morbidly obese patients in one-lung ventilation (OLV). In a prospective, randomized double-blind controlled clinical trial, 80 morbidly obese patients (ASA I-III, aged 20-70) undergoing g...
