A Study to Evaluate Intubation Through Intubating Laryngeal Mask Airway Using Conventional Polyvinyl Chloride Endotracheal Tube

چکیده

Background: A purposely designed wire reinforced silicone tube is available for tracheal intubation through intubating laryngeal mask airway (ILMA). However, this tube is expensive and not always available. Hence, cheaper and readily available alternatives such as conventional polyvinyl chloride (PVC) endotracheal tube should be evaluated for intubation through ILMA. Methods: After informed consent, 50 ASA I-II adults with normal airways undergoing elective surgery under general anaesthesia requiring intubation were allocated to undergo blind tracheal intubation through ILMA with conventional PVC endotracheal tube. Results: The overall success rate for intubation through ILMA was 94% [1st attempt 80%; 2nd attempt 10%; 3rd attempt 4%]. Time taken for successful intubation through ILMA was 18.23 ± 5.46 sec. Haemodynamic parameters remained stable and there was no episode of oxygen desaturation throughout the procedure. Conclusion: Conventional PVC endotracheal tube is a feasible alternative to Fastrach silicone tube for blind tracheal intubation through ILMA.

A comparative Study of Tracheal Intubation through i-gel® and Intubating

In this prospective randomized study, success rate of blind tracheal intubation through two different supraglottic airway devices viz. i-gel ® and the intubating laryngeal mask airway (ILMA)® was compared a using conventional polyvinylchloride endotracheal tubes. Eighty patients undergoing elective surgery under general anaesthesia were randomized in two groups comprising of 40 patients each to...

Difficult intubation using intubating laryngeal mask airway in conjunction with a fiber optic bronchoscope

When anesthesiologists encounter conditions in which intubation is not possible using a conventional direct laryngoscope, they can consider using other available techniques and devices such as fiber optic bronchoscope (FOB)-guided intubation, a laryngeal mask airway (LMA), intubating LMA (ILMA), a light wand, and the Combitube. FOB-guided intubation is frequently utilized in predicted difficult...

Nasotracheal intubation: look before you leap.

Nasotracheal intubation is frequently used for airway management during maxillofacial surgery. Complications such as haemorrhage occur more frequently with this route of intubation than with the orotracheal route. This case report describes a male patient aged 51 yr who developed severe epistaxis after the tube had passed the nares. As an additional complication laryngoscopy and endotracheal in...

Comparison of intubating laryngeal mask airway and Bullard laryngoscope for oro-tracheal intubation in adult patients with simulated limitation of cervical movements.

BACKGROUND Intubation of a patient with limited cervical spine movement or in whom movement of the cervical spine is not desirable is always a challenge even to the most experienced anaesthesiologist. The intubating laryngeal mask airway (ILMA) and the Bullard laryngoscope (BL) are two instruments recommended for endotracheal intubation of such patients. We compared their utility and safety in ...

A Prospective Randomized Comparative Study on i-gel versus Laryngeal Mask Airway Fastrach as a Conduit for Blind Tracheal Intubation Using Conventional PVC Endotracheal Tubes in Reverse Orientation

Introduction: Laryngeal mask airway (LMA) Fastrach was specially designed as a conduit for blind tracheal intubation in anticipated difficult airway and where we do not require neck extension. i-gel is a disposable, cheap supraglottic device with wide bore stem which facilitates direct passage of a conventional polyvinylchloride (PVC) endotracheal tube. Materials and Methods: A total of 80 adul...
