Abstract

Airway Obstruction Female Fiber Optic Technology Humans Infant Infant, Newborn Intubation, Intratracheal Male MLCS MLOWN airway obstruction article breathing circuit bronchoscopy case report disease severity endotracheal intubation female human infant intubation male newborn oxygen desaturation patient safety Pierre Robin syndrome rapid sequence intubation syndrome CHARGE tidal volume equipment fiber optics
We describe a four-step method for fibreoptic-guided, rapid-sequence tracheal intubation through the air-Q® intubating laryngeal airway in infants with severe airway obstruction. Our step-wise process provides an organised and controlled approach to safely securing the airway. © 2013 The Association of Anaesthetists of Great Britain and Ireland.
