The patient in whom laryngoscopy is difficult, calls for the placement of the patient's head in the optimum (Boyce) position prior to insertion of the laryngoscope. A new suspension gallows has been developed which provides for suspension of the laryngoscope with the patient in the Boyce position; this ensemble maintains stability of the laryngoscope, minimizes pressure on the maxilla and gives the best possible view of the anterior commissure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
