Advances in laryngoscopy: rigid indirect laryngoscopy
نویسندگان
چکیده
There is a growing body of evidence to support the use of rigid indirect laryngoscopy or 'video' laryngoscopy for tracheal intubation. We summarise some of the key issues, comparing rigid indirect laryngoscopy with direct conventional laryngoscopy.

Indirect laryngoscopy with rigid 70-degree laryngoscope as a predictor of difficult direct laryngoscopy.
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES The commonly-used predictors for difficult airway management are not very accurate. We investigate the power of indirect laryngoscopy with the rigid 70-degree laryngoscope as a predictor of difficult visualisation of the larynx with direct laryngoscopy. METHODS We performed preoperative indirect laryngoscopy with the rigid laryngoscope on 300 patients. The vision o...
متن کاملAdvances in Laryngoscopy.
Recent technological advances have made airway management safer. Because difficult intubation remains challenging to predict, having tools readily available that can be used to manage a difficult airway in any setting is critical. Fortunately, video technology has resulted in improvements for intubation performance while using laryngoscopy by various means. These technologies have been applied ...
متن کاملAirway evaluation by indirect laryngoscopy in patients with lingual tonsillar hypertrophy.
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Prevalence of the lingual tonsillar hypertrophy is unknown but it is believed that its presence is associated with the difficult airway. To investigate this, indirect laryngoscopy was performed on patients in the preoperative evaluation and this pathology was diagnosed. The relationship with difficulty of viewing the larynx, intubation and ventilation, under general ...
متن کاملDirect laryngoscopy and rigid bronchoscopy.
Laryngoscopy and rigid bronchoscopy represent a necessary tool in the otolaryngologist's arsenal. The advancement in designing smaller and more versatile laryngeal equipment and fiber-optic telescopes as well as the increasingly higher resolution of still and video imagery have allowed otolaryngologists to better diagnose and treat many airway lesions. This chapter describes the basic equipment...
