BLIND TRACHEAL INTUBATION THROUGH air-Q SUPRALARYNGEAL DEVICE: COMPARISON WITH INTUBATING LARYNGEAL MASK AIRWAY Authors
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background: Supra glotic airway devices are increasingly used in anesthesia and emergency medicine as a rescue for intubation and / or ventilation. This study was designed to investigate the supralaryngeal device air-Q in comparison with the ILMA-Fastrach in order to facilitate a rescue airway and intubation.

The new air-Q intubating laryngeal airway for tracheal intubation in children with anticipated difficult airway: a case series.
The air-Q intubating laryngeal airway (ILA) is a new supraglottic airway device which may overcome some limitations inherent to the classic laryngeal mask airway for tracheal intubation. We present a case series of patients with anticipated difficult airway in whom the air-Q ILA was successfully used as a conduit for fiberoptic intubation.
متن کاملComparison of blind tracheal intubation through the intubating laryngeal mask airway (LMA Fastrach™) and the Air-Q™.
This study assessed two disposable devices, the LMA Fastrach™ and the newly developed supraglottic airway device, the Air-Q™, as a conduit for tracheal intubation in 154 healthy adults undergoing elective surgery. Using a non-inferiority approach, the primary outcome measure was successful tracheal intubation within two blind insertion attempts. Successful blind intubation after two attempts wa...
متن کاملSuccessful tracheal intubation through an intubating laryngeal airway in pediatric patients with airway hemorrhage.
BACKGROUND This case report describes the use of the air-Q intubating laryngeal airway (air-Q ILA; Cookgas LLC, St. Louis, MO) for airway rescue and a conduit for blind tracheal intubation in two pediatric patients with failed rapid sequence intubation and difficult airways secondary to airway bleeding in the emergency department (ED). OBJECTIVES To describe the use of a new supraglottic resc...
متن کاملIntubating laryngeal mask airway in morbidly obese and lean patients: a comparative study.
BACKGROUND The intubating laryngeal mask airway (ILMA) was designed using the characteristics of healthy-weight subjects but was shown to be an effective airway device in morbidly obese patients. The authors compared airway management quality in morbidly obese and lean patients with use of the ILMA. METHODS Fifty morbidly obese and 50 lean patients (mean body mass indexes, 42 and 27 kg/m, res...
متن کاملA comparative Study of Tracheal Intubation through i-gel® and Intubating
In this prospective randomized study, success rate of blind tracheal intubation through two different supraglottic airway devices viz. i-gel ® and the intubating laryngeal mask airway (ILMA)® was compared a using conventional polyvinylchloride endotracheal tubes. Eighty patients undergoing elective surgery under general anaesthesia were randomized in two groups comprising of 40 patients each to...
