The introduction into clinical practice of new tools for intubation as videolaringoscopia has dramatically improved the success rate of intubation and the work of anesthesiologists in what is considered the most delicate maneuver. Nevertheless intubation difficulties may also be encountered with good anatomical visualization of glottic structures in videolaringoscopia. To overcome the obstacles that may occur both in a difficult provided intubation such as those unexpected, associated endotracheal introducer able to facilitate the passage of the endotracheal tube through the vocal cords into the trachea may be useful. We report 4 cases of difficult intubation planned and unplanned and completed successfully using the GlideScope videolaryngoscope associated with endotracheal Frova introducer.

Difficult Airway Management

Complications from endotracheal tube introducer are rare and mostly involved mechanical trauma to airway structures. We report a rare complication while using endotracheal tube introducer during difficult airway management, which, we believed it was fragile after repeated sterilization.

Set Up

A 4-month-old female infant who weighed 3.57 kg with severe subglottic stenosis underwent tracheostomy under extracorporeal cardiopulmonary support. First, we set up extracorporeal cardiopulmonary support to the infant and then successfully intubated an endotracheal tube with a 2.5 mm inner diameter before tracheostomy by otolaryngologists. Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary support is an alternative for maintenance of oxygenation in difficult airway management in infants.

Clinical Issue

Unpredictable difficult intubation is a commonly faced clinical issue and one of the most important reasons of morbidity related to anesthesia. We present a case of a 50 y old, 100 kg, 1.8 m tall (BMI=37) male patient, taken to OR (transoral robotic) for a planned biopsy because of a mass in his larynx. Videolaryngoscope was used two times but still intubation was unsuccessful.

BACKGROUND: Even for the most experienced anesthesiologists “can’t ventilate can’t intubate” scenario in difficult airway management is challenging, and although rare it is life-threatening. AIM: The aim of this survey was to analyse the current practice of difficult airway management at our University teaching hospital. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A ten-question-survey was conducted in the Tertiary University Teaching Hospital “Mother Theresa”, Clinic for Anesthesia, Reanimation and Intensive Care. The survey included demographic data, experience in training anaesthesia, practice in management of anticipated and non-anticipated difficult airway scenario, preferable equipment and knowledge of guidelines and protocols. Responses were noted, evaluated and analysed with the SPSS statistical program. RESULTS: The overall response rate was very good; 94.5% answered the survey. During the assessment of the level of comfort with diverse airway equipment, there was diversity of answers due the experience of anaesthesia training, although the most frequent technique among all responders for anticipated difficult intubation was video laryngoscopy (48%). As for non-anticipated difficult intubation when conventional techniques failed to secure the airway most of the responders answered that they used supra-gothic airway device – laryngeal mask (38%) as a rescue measure. CONCLUSION: Airway assessment, adequate training, experience, and availability of essential equipment are the pillars of successful airway management.
