Cervical Spine Motion During Airway Management: A Cinefluoroscopic Study of the Posteriorly Destabilized Third Cervical Vertebrae in Human Cadavers

A Comparison of the Effects of Different Types of Laryngoscope on the Cervical Motions: Randomized Clinical Trial

“…In the literature, there are many studies comparing the effects of these newly developed laryngoscopes on cervical motions in different scenarios with cadavers and normal patients (4,(6)(7)(8)(9)(10). However, in these studies, individual vertebral motion was reported during placement of the tube, while the angulation of the head and neck and the difficulty of intubations were not clear.…”

Airway management in the patient with potential cervical spine instability: Continuing Professional Development

“…While it was suggested in some older articles that basic airway maneuvres induced greater C-spine movement than DL, 23 more recent studies with better methodology have shown either comparable 24 or less movement. 25 Similarly, the effect of cricoid pressure has been found to be very modest, 26 at least in the intact C-spine.…”

“…Alors que certains articles plus anciens indiquaient que ces manoeuvres de base entraînaient davantage de mouvement de la colonne cervicale que la LD, 23 des études plus récentes réalisées avec une meilleure méthodologie ont montré que le mouvement était soit comparable, 24 soit moindre. 25 De la même manière, il a été observé que l'effet de la pression cricoïdienne était très modeste, à tout le moins sur une colonne cervicale intacte.…”

Acute Management of Spinal Cord Injury at the Out-of-Hospital and Emergency Department Settings

“…Because the nasotracheal intubation is contraindicated in particular craniofacial injuries and may cause further trauma and bleeding in the upper airway (24). FSI provides little spinal motion; however, it is challenging for inexperienced providers, results in slower intubation compared to orotracheal intubation, is hindered by secretions and bleeding, and needs continuous patient cooperation (25).…”
