چکیده
Fig. 2. The difference (I) between tidal volume measured by pneumotachograph (VT,) and tidal volume estimated by probe device (VT,) against the average (I) of these two values. A horizontal line is drawn at zero difference for reference. Lines for the mean and 2SD range (95%) of the difference are shown. The trend of points is down to the right, except for the outlier, indicating that bias may increase with tidal volume.

Management of difficult airway in penetrating cervical spine injury
Management of airway in trauma victim with penetrating cervical/thoracic spine injury has always been a challenge to the anaesthesiologist. Stabilisation of spine during airway manipulation, to prevent any further neural damage, is of obvious concern to the anaesthesiologist. Most anaesthesiologists are not exposed to direct laryngoscopy and intubation in lateral position during their training ...
متن کاملCervical spine movement during intubation using the Airtraq® and direct laryngoscopy
Materials and methods: Thirty three patients without cervical spine problems were enrolled in the study. Patients were randomized into direct laryngoscopy and Airtraq® groups. Assessment of movement of the cervical spine was made by taking 3 lateral cervical spine X-rays. First, when the cervical spine was in the neutral position, second during the greatest excursion of the cervical spine, and ...
متن کاملLaryngoscope and a New Tracheal Tube Assist Lightwand Intubation in Difficult Airways due to Unstable Cervical Spine
PURPOSE The WEI Jet Endotracheal Tube (WEI JET) is a new tracheal tube that facilitates both oxygenation and ventilation during the process of intubation and assists tracheal intubation in patients with difficult airway. We evaluated the effectiveness and usefulness of the WEI JET in combination with lightwand under direct laryngoscopy in difficult tracheal intubation due to unstable cervical s...
متن کاملAirway management for cervical spine surgery.
Cervical spine surgery is one of the most commonly performed spine surgeries in the United States, and 90% of the cases are related to degenerative cervical spine disease (the rest to cervical spine trauma and/or instability). The airway management for cervical spine surgery represents a crucial step in the anesthetic management to avoid injury to the cervical cord. The crux for upper airway ma...
متن کاملCervical spine movement during laryngoscopy with the Bullard, Macintosh, and Miller laryngoscopes.
BACKGROUND Direct laryngoscopy requires movement of the head, neck, and cervical spine. Spine movement may be limited for anatomic reasons or because of cervical spine injury. The Bullard laryngoscope, a rigid fiberoptic laryngoscope, may cause less neck flexion and head extension than conventional laryngoscopes. The purpose of this study was to compare head extension (measured externally), cer...
