Use of the air-Q intubating laryngeal airway for rapid-sequence intubation in infants with severe airway obstruction: a case series.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a four-step method for fibreoptic-guided, rapid-sequence tracheal intubation through the air-Q intubating laryngeal airway in infants with severe airway obstruction. Our step-wise process provides an organised and controlled approach to safely securing the airway.

The new air-Q intubating laryngeal airway for tracheal intubation in children with anticipated difficult airway: a case series.
The air-Q intubating laryngeal airway (ILA) is a new supraglottic airway device which may overcome some limitations inherent to the classic laryngeal mask airway for tracheal intubation. We present a case series of patients with anticipated difficult airway in whom the air-Q ILA was successfully used as a conduit for fiberoptic intubation.
متن کاملSuccessful tracheal intubation through an intubating laryngeal airway in pediatric patients with airway hemorrhage.
BACKGROUND This case report describes the use of the air-Q intubating laryngeal airway (air-Q ILA; Cookgas LLC, St. Louis, MO) for airway rescue and a conduit for blind tracheal intubation in two pediatric patients with failed rapid sequence intubation and difficult airways secondary to airway bleeding in the emergency department (ED). OBJECTIVES To describe the use of a new supraglottic resc...
متن کاملPrehospital Use of the Intubating Laryngeal Mask Airway in Patients with Severe Polytrauma: A Case Series
A case series of five patients is described demonstrating the utility of the intubating laryngeal mask airway in the prehospital setting, both as a primary airway rescue device and as a bridge to tracheal intubation. All patients were hypoxaemic, had sustained severe polytrauma and were trapped in their vehicles following road traffic collisions. A probability of survival study showed better-th...
متن کاملNasotracheal 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...
