A combined rigid videolaryngoscopy-flexible fibres copy intubation technique undergener al anesthesia

Palatal perforation associated with McGrath® videolaryngoscope

“…We accept that Lopez et al only included patients with a relatively high score and probably included many genuinely difficult cases. Nevertheless, there are other predictive tools, such as the one proposed by El Ganzouri et al [3], which do not suffer from this particular drawback.…”

A combination of KingVision video-laryngoscope and flexible fibroscope for awake intubation in patient with laryngeal tumor — case report and literature review

“…Greib et al [1] used DCI videolaryngoscope (Karl Storz, Tuttlingen, Germany) which is very different in construction and operation to KingVision which is from the group of videolaryngoscopes with ET tube chanel incorporated into blade. We used similar method of local anesthesia for our patient with success.…”

“…Other studies found in PubMed are on intubation under general anesthesia. The study of Greib et al was performed on patients under general anesthesia [1]. Moore et al [4] described use of Glidescope and fibroscope in morbidly obese woman but also under general anesthesia…”

“…In case of KingVision because of ET channel incorporated into blade the insertion of fibroscope was easer without former insertion of ET tube. It should be easer and require less mannouvers comparing to method of Xue et al in which Glidescope operator had to inform bronchoscopist about position of tip of fibroscope [1].…”

Using a long semi-rigid catheter with a controllable tip to facilitate tracheal intubation with a GlideScope®

“…4,5 This latter combination is especially beneficial when the GS view is suboptimal. We frequently use this technique, and in our view, the crucial factor for success is the FOB's flexibility, which allows the ETT to pass easily through the glottis.…”
