Summary

A difficult tracheal intubation can be a problem, even if one has taken all precautions. A possible solution can be using a videolaryngoscope in conjunct with the Bonfils® intubation scope. As such, the videolaryngoscope can be used to achieve the best possible view and space of the laryngeal inlet for the insertion and manoeuvring of the Bonfils® intubation scope.

Conditions

  • Intubation; Difficult
  • Failed or Difficult Intubation
  • Failed or Difficult Intubation, Initial Encounter
  • Anesthesia Intubation Complication

Interventions

DEVICE

Videolaryngoscope and Bonfils

First, the Macintosh videolaryngoscope (Karl Storz, Tuttlingen, Germany) will be used to achieve the best possible view and space of the laryngeal inlet for the insertion and manoeuvring of the Bonfils® (Karl Storz, Tuttlingen, Germany). Once the anaesthesiologist considers the view achieved to be the best view possible, a picture will be taken using C-CAMTM for C-MAC (Karl Storz, Tuttlingen, Germany), not showing any part of the videolaryngoscope. Thereafter the Bonfils® intubation scope, which will be preloaded with the endotracheal tube, will be brought into position in front of the laryngeal inlet. Again a picture not showing any part of one of the two devices will be taken. Once the Bonfils® has entered the trachea, the tracheal tube will be placed in the correct position.
