The McGrath VL results in a clear picture of the nearby airway anatomy and vocal cords on a liquid crystal display screen mounted on the handle.6 In 2633 general anesthesia cases, the incidence of failed intubation was one in 1300, and the incidence of difficult intubation was 4.7%, which is at the lower end of the recorded range of 1.3 to 16.3% in obstetric patients.7 Despite emerging evidence that VLs enhance the glottic view and improve intubation success rate, few studies have considered the function of this device, especially when used in obstetric patients.5 The primary objective of this study was to test the glottic visualization provided by the Macintosh direct laryngoscope (DL) and McGrath VL and the time taken to intubate patients undergoing cesarean section.

He was clear in his advance directives: Do not intubate, do not resuscitate.

Mean times to intubate were 20.8 23 s when the ETT cuff was inflated in the pharynx and 60.1 56 s when using fibreoptic laryngoscopy (p < 0.01) and they concluded that both ETT cuff inflation in the pharynx and fibreoptic bronchoscopy are valuable for nasotracheal intubation in patients with an immobilised cervical spine and that ETT cuff inflation can be used as an alternative to fibreoptic bronchoscopy in patients with CSI.

Jessica Robinson died at Stockton's University Hospital of North Tees in December last year when a failure to intubate correctly - putting in a tube to support breathing - left her starved of oxygen.

13.20 Anaesthetist registrar manages to intubate Jahnai.

At birth, the baby had a heart rate of 60 bpm and was in respiratory distress but there was no one at the clinic qualified to intubate the infant.

Forty seven (10.4%) of them were found at laryngoscopy to have airways that were difficult to intubate exhibiting laryngoscopy grade III or IV.

Fiberoptic nasotracheal intubation is often performed for patients undergoing head and neck surgeries; many of these patients have distorted airway anatomy as a result of previous surgeries, which make it more difficult to intubate even under FFB guidance.

To intubate or not--that is the question: continuous positive airway pressure versus surfactant and extremely low birthweight infants.

Now I had worked as a Critical Care Flight nurse, worked in Emergency Departments as a Head Nurse and had also been trained to intubate. The patient was trying to crawl out of his bed ; therefore, I got behind his head and grabbed his draw sheet along with 2 other RNs on each side of him ...
