Direct laryngoscopy and cervical spine stabilisation.
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 ...
متن کاملUnanticipated difficult endotracheal intubations in patients with cervical spine instrumentation.
We present two cases of unanticipated difficult airway in patients requiring reoperation after cervical spine instrumentation. In both cases, the upper airway examination was normal, and fiberoptic-guided intubation proceeded with the patient sedated and breathing spontaneously. Cord visualization was difficult, but the scope was eventually advanced into the trachea and the endotracheal tube pl...
متن کاملExpected difficult tracheal intubation: a prospective comparison of direct laryngoscopy and video laryngoscopy in 200 patients.
BACKGROUND The Berci-Kaplan video laryngoscope was developed to improve the visualization of the glottis and ease tracheal intubation. Whether this technique is also effective in patients with an expected difficult intubation is unclear. We have prospectively evaluated the conditions and success rate of tracheal intubation in patients with a Mallampati score of III or IV. METHODS Two hundred ...
متن کاملRadiologic indicators for prediction of difficult laryngoscopy in patients with cervical spondylosis
BACKGROUND We identified the most useful variables for prediction of difficult laryngoscopy in patients with cervical spondylosis according to physical indicators and preoperative skeletal X-ray and soft tissue MRI measurements. We hypothesized that there was a closer association between difficult laryngoscopy and radiologic indicators. METHODS We randomly enroled 315 patients undergoing elec...
متن کاملIndirect 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...
