Endotracheal Intubation In a Prone Position In a Patient Following Thoracic Spine Penetrating Injuries With Knife
Journal Title: Journal of Anesthetic Research and Pain Medicine - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
The prone position is not a standard position for administering anesthesia. Anesthesia is usually administered to a patient placed in the supine position on a stretcher. After endotracheal intubation through the use of a non-kinking and resistant endotracheal tube, the patient is placed in the prone position on the operating table. Emergency surgery to repair thoracic penetrating injuries requires endotracheal intubation in the prone position. In this case study, a patient with a thoracic spinal cord injury was given general anesthesia in the prone position through endotracheal intubation. This study can provide training for anesthetists regarding all airway management scenarios. The study is useful in teaching anesthetists how to maintain airway safety during emergency operations, such as cervical and thoracic spine surgeries while the patient is in the prone position.
