A new blade for endotracheal intubation.
Sir,—Recently, difficulty was encountered during anaesthesia for a 75-year-old man who presented with hoarseness but no history of dyspnoea. Indirect laryngoscopy revealed a small tumour on the left vocal cord but the laryngeal aperture was adequate. Subsequently, the patient was anaesthetized for the purpose of direct laryngoscopy and biopsy. Premedication comprised atropine 0.6 mg and prometh...
متن کاملA new blade for blind endotracheal intubation.
In patients with various anatomical features, difficulty in performing endotracheal intubation occurs approximately once in 65 direct laryngoscopies (White and Kander, 1975). The anatomical abnormalities include a short muscular neck with a full set of teeth; a receding lower jaw with an obtuse mandibular angle, protruding upper incisors from relative overgrowth of the premaxilla, a long, high,...
متن کاملOrotracheal Intubation Using the Retromolar Space: A Reliable Alternative Intubation Approach to Prevent Dental Injury
Despite recent advances in airway management, perianesthetic dental injury remains one of the most common anesthesia-related adverse events and cause for malpractice litigation against anesthesia providers. Recommended precautions for prevention of dental damage may not always be effective because these techniques involve contact and pressure exerted on vulnerable teeth. We describe a novel app...
متن کاملMeasurement of retromolar space dimensions using dental pantomograms for intubation feasibility.
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to measure the dimensions of the retromolar space of a patient population. If the dimensions were found to exceed the outside diameters of commonly used tracheal tubes, the results could increase use of the retromolar approach for oral intubation in patients with trismus. METHODS We reviewed 311 dental pantomograms. Retromolar space height was measured...
متن کاملUse of retromolar intubation in paediatric maxillofacial trauma.
treatment for a variety of chronic, intractable pain syndromes, with 27 000 stimulators being implanted annually in the USA alone. Known complications are equipment failure, pain in the region of hardware implantation, infection, and rarely haematomas and spinal cord injury, which necessitate timely, targeted interventions. The true incidence of these complications, however, is not known, altho...
