Large retropharyngeal haematoma. Airway management with Airtraq ® laryngoscope

Revista Española de Anestesiología y Reanimación (English Edition), 2018
Retropharyngeal haematoma is a life-threatening clinical situation that can lead to a potential obstruction of the upper airway and requires rapid diagnosis. Clinicaly, it can be presented in different ways, depending on its size and growing speed. The first measure is to protect and manage the airway: in most cases this is a difficult airway situation.

Airtraq optical laryngoscope: tracheal intubation by novice laryngoscopists

Emergency Medicine Journal, 2009
To evaluate the performance of the Airtraq optical laryngoscope for tracheal intubation by novice laryngoscopists, compared with that of the Macintosh laryngoscope.Under supervision by staff anaesthetists, non-anaesthesia physicians performed tracheal intubation using either the Airtraq optical laryngoscope (n = 100) or the Macintosh laryngoscope (n ...

[Airtraq optical laryngoscope].

Masui. The Japanese journal of anesthesiology, 2008
We described an early experience of Airtraq laryngoscope in 20 patients receiving general anesthesia.In all, 2 staff anesthesiologists, 3 anesthesia residents and 10 non-anesthesia residents performed endotracheal intubation with 14 polyvinyl chloride tubes with inside diameter of 7-8 mm, 5 double lumen 37-F tubes and 1 preformed nasotracheal tube ...

Successful Airtraq Use in an Air Medical Transport System

Air Medical Journal, 2014
There is a large body of literature that shows that the AirTraq device achieves equal or superior rates of successful intubation in all classes of user. A recent prospective human trial of the device questioned the first pass success rate and whether effective training could occur outside the Operating Room (OR).

The learning curve for laryngoscopy: Airtraq versus Macintosh laryngoscopes

Journal of Anesthesia, 2012
Airtraq use by inexperienced personnel has been evaluated in simulator studies, but little is known about the learning process in real patients. This prospective study was designed to compare learning curves for laryngoscopy with the Airtraq or Macintosh laryngoscopes in patients under general anesthesia.Ten medical students with no prior experience in

Efficacy of the Airtraq® laryngoscope with a fiberoptic bronchoscope compared with that of Airtraq® alone for tracheal intubation: a manikin study

Journal of Anesthesia, 2010
Successful intubation using the Airtraq(®) requires optimal positioning of the glottis in the middle of the viewfinder. If the glottic view cannot be optimized, some glottic manipulation is essential for the Airtraq-assisted successful intubation. We evaluated the efficacy of the combined use of the Airtraq and a fiberoptic bronchoscope (FOB) compared ...

Airtraq optical laryngoscope: advantages and disadvantages.

Middle East journal of anaesthesiology, 2013
Difficult or unsuccesful tracheal intubation is one of the important causes for morbidity and mortality in susceptible patients. Almost 30% of the anesthesia-related deaths are induced by the complications of difficult airway management and more than 85% of all respiratory related complications cause brain injury or death. Nowadays, due to the advances
