Patients With One or More Predictors of Difficult Airway Clinical Trial
Official title:
Intubation With McGrath Video Laryngoscope and Boedeker Intubation Foreceps in a Population of Patients With Predictors of Difficult Airway, an Observational Pilot Study
Tracheal intubation with videolaryngoscopes have been widely studied, and is now often used
in the management of difficult airways.
Videolaryngoscopes with angulated blades can improve laryngeal view, however this does not
always match with a higher intubation succes. To adress this matter the aim of this study is
gathering experience with intubation with mcgrath videolaryngoscope and a blade-shape
intubation foreceps (Boedeker intubation foreceps, Karl Storz, Germany).
The hypothesis is that intubation with this combination is easy and can be a good
alternative when using the McGrath videolaryngoscope in patients with predictors of
difficult airway.
