No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Patients who present with an unstable cervical spine following an accident need a general anesthesia for the necessary surgery.

Commonly, the management of the tracheal intubation is performed by a fiberoptic technique.

However, changes in equipment availability and quality may challenge the fiberoptic intubation technique.

The investigators wish to compare the tracheal intubations performed with the Airtraq in comparison with the fiberscopic technique.
