Comparing Four Video Laryngoscopes and One Optical Laryngoscope with a Standard Macintosh Blade in a Simulated Trapped Car Accident Victim

Emergency Medicine International, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
Background. Tracheal intubation still represents the “gold standard” in securing the airway of unconscious patients in the prehospital setting. Especially in cases of restricted access to the patient, video laryngoscopy became more and more relevant. Objectives.

Comparison of Pentax‐AWS®, Glidescope®, and King Vision® for difficult‐airway intubation in manikins model by paramedics

Hong Kong Journal of Emergency Medicine, Volume 24, Issue 5, Page 237-243, September 2017., 2017
Introduction: Prehospital tracheal intubation of a difficult airway is challenging for paramedics. Thus far, the potential role of video laryngoscopes for this purpose has not been confirmed. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the impact of different types of video laryngoscopes on the success rate and time to intubation by paramedics.

Airway Management with Cervical Spine Immobilisation: A Comparison between the Macintosh Laryngoscope, Truview Evo2, and Totaltrack VLM Used by Novices—A Manikin Study

BioMed Research International, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
Airway management in patients with suspected cervical spine injury plays an important role in the pathway of care of trauma patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate three different airway devices during intubation of a patient with reduced cervical spine mobility. Forty students of the third year of emergency medicine studies participated in the

Airtraq in difficult paediatric airway

Colombian Journal of Anesthesiology, 2018
The difficult pediatric airway is a challenge for the anesthetist due to the difficulty achieving an adequate assessment, the paucity of management algorithms, lack of accurate knowledge regarding incidence, as well as limitations of the various devices in this group of patients.

Orotracheal Intubation Using the Retromolar Space: A Reliable Alternative Intubation Approach to Prevent Dental Injury

Case Reports in Anesthesiology, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
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 ...

The AMBU® Aura‐i™ Laryngeal Mask and LMA Supreme™: A Randomized Trial of Clinical Performance and Fibreoptic Positioning in Unparalysed, Anaesthetised Patients by Novices

Anesthesiology Research and Practice, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
Introduction. Manikin studies’ data cannot accurately be extrapolated to real‐life scenarios and inherent differences in design and materials of newer products may affect their clinical performance. Methods. Hence, we compared the AMBU® Aura‐i™ and LMA Supreme™ in this randomized trial involving 100 ASA 1‐2 unparalysed anaesthetised patients undergoing

Obstetric Anaesthetists' Association and Difficult Airway Society guidelines for the management of difficult and failed tracheal intubation in obstetrics

Anaesthesia, Volume 70, Issue 11, Page 1286-1306, November 2015., 2015
Summary The Obstetric Anaesthetists' Association and Difficult Airway Society have developed the first national obstetric guidelines for the safe management of difficult and failed tracheal intubation during general anaesthesia. They comprise four algorithms and two tables. A master algorithm provides an overview.
