Nasotracheal intubation using the Airtraq® optical laryngoscope in patients with a difficult airway.
To the Editor, We were interested in a recently published case report describing application of the Airtraq optical laryngoscope (Airtraq) for nasotracheal intubation (NTI) in a patient with a predicted difficult airway who was undergoing oral surgery. The authors are to be congratulated on their successful airway management in this challenging case. However, topical anesthesia was performed on...
متن کاملThe Airtraq laryngoscope in severe ankylosing spondylitis.
We read with interest the article by Tong [1] and agree that the Airtraq optical laryngoscope is easy to use and can provide a full indirect view of the glottis when traditional direct laryngoscopy has failed. We would like to report the successful use of the Airtraq as a rescue device following failed awake fibreoptic intubation in a patient with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). A 48-yr-old male w...

متن کاملLearning curves of the Airtraq and the Macintosh laryngoscopes for tracheal intubation by novice laryngoscopists: a clinical study.
BACKGROUND The curved laryngoscope blade described by Macintosh in 1943 remains the most widely used device to facilitate tracheal intubation. The Airtraq laryngoscope is a new, single-use device for tracheal intubation. Several studies compared the use of Airtraq and Macintosh laryngoscopes in simulated intubation scenarios on manikins. We evaluated learning and performance of tracheal intubat...
