Indirect 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...
متن کاملRigid laryngoscope-assisted insertion of transesophageal echocardiography probe reduces oropharyngeal mucosal injury in anesthetized patients.
BACKGROUND Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography has become a routine part of monitoring in patients with cardiac disease. However, insertion of a transesophageal echocardiography probe can be associated with oropharyngeal, esophageal, and gastric injuries. The purpose of this study was to determine whether insertion of a transesophageal echocardiography probe under direct laryngoscop...
متن کاملDevelopment of Laser Ruler in Rigid Laryngoscope
OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to develop a new device that provides a simple, noninvasive method of measuring accurate lesion size while using an endoscope. METHODS We developed a rigid laryngoscope with a built-in laser-ruler using a one-light emitting diode and an acrylic plate. The invention incorporates a built-in laser diode that projects an auto-parallel beam into the optic...
متن کاملDesign evaluation of commonly used rigid and levering laryngoscope blades.
BACKGROUND The shape of a laryngoscope blade affects the exposition of the larynx. This study evaluates and compares some rigid and levering blade designs based on previous investigative X-ray laryngoscopic studies. METHODS Five rigid laryngoscope blades (Miller #3, Standard Macintosh #3, Classical Macintosh #4 and English-Macintosh #3 and #4) and two levering laryngoscope blades (McCoy in ne...
متن کاملAirtraq laryngoscope for the insertion of a transesophageal echocardiography probe.
The insertion of a transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) probe during general anesthesia is usually performed in a blind manner. However, blind manipulation occasionally encounters difficulties in directing the probe tip into the esophageal orifice. This could potentially cause injuries to the oral and pharyngeal mucosa.1-3 Here, we introduce a method in which the Airtraq laryngoscope (Prodol,...
