Difficult Airways

Video laryngoscopy has opened its way into airway management and continues to play a larger role in managing patients with difficult airway. Anesthesiologists use video laryngoscopy more often every day and therefore accept the risks of more challenging and difficult airway situations with more confidence. In the mentioned case below, a 45-year-old female with a large thyroid mass is presented to an academic based hospital, for elective thyroidectomy. The patient was intubated using a video laryngoscopy technique and the airway was secured. Video laryngoscopy helps secure difficult airways and could be chosen as first line option in such situations.

The key to success in patients with difficult airway is effective airway assessment and meticulous planning. Making use of simple and time-tested equipment and modifying these methods accordingly enable successful airway control avoiding perioperative morbidity and mortality . We report a case of 75 year old male with posterior urethral stricture planned for perineal urethroplasty with anticipated difficult airway. The airway was managed using video laryngoscopy and the procedure was uneventful with good postoperative recovery. This case report insists on making use of other conventional methods in the effective management of an anticipated difficult airway during a pandemic.

The purpose of this study was to review literature that looked into the efficacy of the Glidescope video laryngoscope versus the Macintosh laryngoscope in oral endotracheal intubations. We aimed to answer the question ‘Should the Glidescope video laryngoscope laryngoscopes be used as first line intubation aids or only in the difficult airway?’ A systematic search of electronic databases was made. The inclusion criteria included: Glidescope, video laryngoscope, and Macintosh laryngoscope in human studies. The study aimed to compare first attempt success rate, glottic view and intubation time in papers dating between 2009 and 2017. Eleven trials with a total of 7,919 patients with both difficult and normal airways were included. The trials showed an improvement in first attempt success rate and glottic view with the Glidescope video laryngoscope especially in those with difficult airways. Overall time to intubate showed no significant differences between the Glidescope video laryngoscope and the Macintosh laryngoscope although it was identified that with increased training and experience with the Glidescope video laryngoscope, intubation time was reduced. Glidescope video laryngoscopes show advantages over the Macintosh laryngoscopes in obtaining better glottic views in those with difficult airways. However its use is not supported in all routine intubations.

AbstractAirway management of patients with craniofacial vascular malformations poses many challenges. Establishment of a secure airway is a prerequisite for safe anesthetic management of these patients. We report a case of a 45-year-old man presenting with a facial vascular malformation involving the tongue, parapharynx, and extending into the neck, resulting in airway compromise scheduled for endovascular embolization.

Difficult Airways

AbstractIn the prehospital setting, the emergency care provider must anticipate that some patients will manifest with difficult airways. The use of video laryngoscopy to secure an airway in the prehospital setting has not been explored widely, but has the potential to be a useful tool. This article briefly reviews some of the major video laryngoscopes on the market and their usefulness in the prehospital setting. Studies and case reports indicate that the video laryngoscope is a promising device for emergency intubation, and it has been predicted that, in the future, video laryngoscopy will dominate the field of emergency airway management.Direct laryngoscopy always should be retained as a primary skill; however, the video laryngoscope has the potential to be a good primary choice for the patient with potential cervical spine injuries or limited jaw or spine mobility, and in the difficult-to-access patient.The role of video laryngoscopes in securing an airway in head and neck trauma victims in the prehospital setting has yet to be determined, but offers interesting possibilities. Further clinical studies are necessary to evaluate its role in airway management by prehospital emergency medical services.
