Learning fiberoptic intubation for awake nasotracheal intubation
Background Fiberoptic nasotracheal intubation (FNI) is performed if it is difficult to open the mouth or if intubation using laryngoscope is expected to be difficult. However, training is necessary because intubation performed by inexperienced operators leads to complications. Methods Every resident performed intubation in 40 patients. Success of FNI was evaluated as the time of FNI. First in...
متن کاملCase Report Experience of awake Fiberoptic Nasotracheal Intubation in an elderly Patient with Tonsil Cancer
Awake intubation with fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) is a popular technique in patients with difficult intubation criteria. Preservation of spontaneous respiration by nasotracheal intubation with FOB accompanied by sedation was performed in a case assessed as difficult intubation due to a high Mallampati score at preoperative evaluation and the presence of a mass extending to the oral cavity. Fo...
متن کاملConscious Sedation and Awake Fiberoptic Intubation in a Patient with Difficult Mask Ventilation—A Case Report
Since maxillofacial malignancy is a common cause of facial defects and disfigurement of the face that may make fitting of a mask difficult and cause air leakage from the side, thus making mask ventilation difficult. In addition, distorted anatomy of the airway and base of the skull in such patients may cause difficult intubation (DI). We experienced a case with a huge facial defect due to maxil...
متن کاملDexmedetomidine for conscious sedation in difficult awake fiberoptic intubation cases.
Currently used methods of sedation for fiberoptic intubation such as benzodiazepines, propofol, or opioids have their limitations. Dexmedetomidine (DEX) is a selective alpha-2 adrenergic agonist that has been used clinically for its sympatholytic, analgesic, and sedative properties. We report on 4 patients with particularly difficult airways who underwent successful awake fiberoptic intubation ...
متن کاملGlideScope videolaryngoscope versus flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope for awake intubation of morbidly obese patient with predicted difficult intubation.
BACKGROUND Awake fiberoptic intubation is the gold standard for management of predicted difficult intubation. The purpose of this study was to test whether Glide Scope video laryngoscopy (GVL) will provide significant advantages over fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) for awake intubation in morbidly obese patients with predicted difficult intubation. We therefore tested the hypothesis that intubati...
