Use of the Totaltrack VLM in unexpected difficult airway in urgent caesarean section

The TotaltrackTM video laryngeal mask: an evaluation in 300 patients

“…In fact, DAS guidelines consider ‘blind’ airway management techniques to be unreliable and associated with a high incidence of airway trauma . It is important to bear in mind that the Totaltrack can only be inserted when the inter‐incisor gap measures > 2 cm, and insertion of the device can be more difficult in patients with large breasts or truncal obesity . The configuration of the Totaltrack reduces the need for adjuvant devices .…”

“…In preliminary reports, the Totaltrack has appeared effective as both a first‐line technique and rescue device in various clinical settings . However, a clearer understanding of its clinical characteristics, which have not hitherto been described in detail, could optimise its use and increase its success rate, and the aim of this study was to rectify this deficiency in the literature.…”

Comparison of a polyvinyl chloride tube with a wire-reinforced tube for tracheal intubation through the SaCoVLM video laryngeal mask airway: protocol for a randomised controlled study

“…Studies have verified that the success rate of the TotalTrack intubation for the first time was 85%, and the total success rate within three intubation attempts was 94%,26 particularly in super-obese patients, which could better display the larynx and provide effective ventilation and further tracheal intubation 27. The TotalTrack seems to be an effective first-line technology and rescue device in various clinical environments 28–31…”

“…27 The TotalTrack seems to be an effective first-line technology and rescue device in various clinical environments. [28][29][30][31] The SaCoVLM has shown advantages in clinical applications since its creation in 2018. 32 The SaCoVLM is comparable in price with a common LMA and can easily be clinically promoted, allowing visualisation of the conditions around the glottis and thus achieving rapid and accurate insertion.…”
