Alternative Hybrid Technique of Intubation Using C-MAC and Yankauer Suction Catheter: Case of A Floppy Supraglottic Mass

Turkish Journal of Anaesthesiology and Reanimation
Supraglottic masses can be an anaesthesiologist’s nightmare due to the difficult airway scenario and bleeding risk during airway manipulation. Awake fibreoptic intubation is the primary method to secure the airway in such cases.

Difficult Intubation Provokes Bacteremia [PDF]

Surgical Infections, 2008
To evaluate the prevalence of bacteremia after mask ventilation, laryngoscopy, and endotracheal intubation before induction of general anesthesia and to discover any correlation between traumatic manipulations and bacteremia. The specific bacteria responsible, knowledge of which may guide the prophylactic use of antibiotics, also were investigated ...

Retrograde Catheter-assisted Flexible Bronchoscopic Intubation in a Previously Failed Intubation – A Hybrid Approach

Airway
Unanticipated difficult airway and previous failed intubation scenarios represent a formidable challenge to anaesthesiologists. We report the successful use of a hybrid technique – retrograde catheter-guided flexible bronchoscopic intubation – in a 70 ...
