Continuous ventilation during intubation through a supraglottic airway device guided by fiberoptic bronchoscopy: a observational assessment

Abstract: No adverse events were observed during this form of airway management in this small series of elective and fasted patient when performed by an anaesthesiologist experienced in fiberoptic intubation. A gap between fiberoptic bronchoscope and endotracheal tube inner lumen seems to be prerequisite for easy ventilation through the supraglottic airway. In trained hands, this technique can be a means to secure an airway with an intubating bronchoscope without pausing ventilations. A prerequisite for this is a well-f… Show more

“…Obese patients are at higher risk of difficult mask ventilation as well as difficult tracheal intubation [ 28 , 29 ]. Oxygenation is the first priority in the difficult airway management [ 30 ]. In addition, oxygen desaturation is rapidly following the cessation of breathing.…”

“…Sizes 4 and 5 are the main options described in the literature for use in the adult population. 58 The size 4 i-gel has a 12.3-mm internal diameter and fits a therapeutic bronchoscope (5.9-mm external diameter) or EBUS scope (6.9-mm external diameter) without significantly compromising ventilation. 38 This device will also allow the introduction of a 7.0-mm external diameter ETT in case intubation is needed.…”

“…We read with interest Landsdalen et al's paper, 1 which did a simple modificationthe patient could be ventilated during the intubation through a functioning supraglottic airway device (SDA) with the aid of a fiberoptic bronchoscope (FOB). However, there are some limitations of the technique.…”
