“…Previous case reports have shown successful face-to-face intubation using lightwands[ 12 ] and other VAL modalities. [ 13 ] Others have reported success intubating using VAL on a sitting patient with the operator standing behind and slightly above the patient. [ 14 ] Operator preference is based on familiarity with handling whichever intubating device is available.…”

“…In addition, there may be implications with regards to setting the patient up for general anaesthesia due to the position of the stuck grinding machine. A case reported by Kinoshita et al showed how they had to induce and intubate the patient in a sitting position due to the stuck position of the meat grinder at the patient's arm [8]. In that case, the patient ended up with a forearm amputation.…”

Grinding machine injuries are known to cause severe mutilating injuries of the upper limb. In some cases, the machinery equipment may still be attached to the limb when the patient reaches the hospital. In treating these injuries, the patient’s hemodynamic status should be the first priority of resuscitation. Following this and whenever possible, a reversal of the grinding mechanism should be done to free the limb as this would allow assessment of the extent of zone-of-injury prior to starting the surgical procedure. We report a case of a 28-year-old male who sustained a mangled hand injury that was successfully extricated from an industrial grinding machine, thereby allowing preservation of precious length of the limb during surgery. This case highlights the importance of adhering to safety precautions at the workplace to reduce the risk of potential occupational hazards when dealing with machinery equipment.
