Retrograde tracheal intubation.
نویسنده
چکیده
Summary Successful management of difficult tracheal intubation by retrograde intubation has been reported for almost 50 years and can be used whether or not it is anticipated. There are numerous reports of variations to the basic technique to enhance reproducibility of this guided blind procedure. A review and analysis of the equipment and techniques provides a better understanding of this effective technique.

Comparison of two techniques for retrograde tracheal intubation in human fresh cadavers.
BACKGROUND During retrograde tracheal intubation, the short distance existing between the cricothyroid membrane and vocal cords may be responsible for accidental extubation. The insertion of a catheter into the trachea before the removal of the guide wire may help to cope with this problem. This work was conducted to study the impact of such a modification on the success rate and the duration o...
متن کاملRetrograde nasotracheal intubation with a new tracheal tube: a feasibility study.
We have assessed the feasibility of retrograde nasotracheal intubation using a flexometallic tracheal tube with a detachable pilot balloon and connector in a study of 20 consecutive adult patients undergoing oropharyngeal surgery. The technique consisted of: (1) laryngoscope-guided orotracheal intubation; (2) insertion of an 18-gauge Foley catheter through the nose and retraction into the mouth...
متن کاملInjury to terminal branches of the trigeminal nerve following tracheal intubation.
Injury to multiple terminal branches of the maxillary and mandibular divisions of the trigeminal nerve is described. The injury occurred following difficult tracheal intubation using a retrograde technique. The possible anatomical basis of the injury is described.
متن کاملRetrograde light-guided laryngoscopy for tracheal intubation: clinical practice and comparison with conventional direct laryngoscopy.
BACKGROUND Tracheal intubation with conventional laryngoscopy requires many trials until beginners are sufficiently skilled in intubating patients safely. To facilitate intubation, the authors used retrograde light-guided laryngoscopy (RLGL) and compared its feasibility with conventional direct laryngoscopy (DL). METHODS Twenty operators participated in a prospective, randomized, open-label, ...
متن کاملFluoroscope-aided retrograde placement of guide wire for tracheal intubation in patients with limited mouth opening.
Passing a retrograde catheter/wire into the pharynx through a cricothyroid puncture can facilitate tracheal intubation in difficult situations where either a flexible fibre-optic bronchoscope or an expert user of such a device is not available. Some mouth opening is essential for the oral and/or nasal retrieval of the catheter/wire from the pharynx. Two patients with temporo-mandibular joint (T...
