The Difference

Abstract Background The present study aimed to compare three fixation methods for orotracheal intubation. Methods Through literature retrieval, the effects of the adhesive/twill tape method, fixator method, and adhesive/twill tape–fixator alternation method on patients with tracheal intubation in the intensive care unit (ICU) were compared. Results The fixator and alternation methods were more effective in protecting the tongue mucosa and teeth. The alternation method was superior to the other two methods in maintaining the position of the endotracheal intubation. However, the difference in facial and lip injuries between the three methods was not statistically significant. Conclusion The fixator method can significantly reduce intraoral injury and is more suitable for older people with weak tongue mucosa and loose teeth. These are worth popularizing among a wider group.

Recent Advances

Recent advances in technology have made laryngoscopy less dependent upon a direct line of sight to achieve tracheal intubation. Whether these new devices are useful tools capable of increasing patient safety depends upon when and how they are used. We briefly consider the challenges in reviewing the emerging literature given the variety of devices, “experience” of the care providers, the clinical settings, and the definitions of outcome. We examine some of the limitations of conventional direct laryngoscopy, question the definitions we have used to define success, discuss the benefits of indirect (video) techniques, and review evidence pertaining to their use in the patients in the operating room, emergency department, and intensive care unit.
