Trachway Intubating Stylet Facilitates the Double-Lumen Endobronchial Tube Placement in Patients with Limited Mouth Opening
Journal Title: International Journal of Anesthetics and Anesthesiology - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Intubation for one lung ventilation in patients with difficult airways can be a challenge. Severely limited mouth opening restricts the use of direct laryngoscopy or video-assisted laryngoscopy. We present two patients with limited mouth opening undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic decortication, who were successfully intubated with left-sided double-lumen endobronchial tube (DLT) using the Trachway® intubating stylet. This technique provides a safe and reliable method for DLT intubation in patients with limited mouth opening.
