Summary

The fibreoptic bronchoscope remains one of the most important methods of intubating patients particularly when there is difficulty with intubation.

Facilitating fiberoptic oropharyngeal intubation procedure, specific airways have been devised to push the tongue anteriorly to clear a passage for the fibrescope into the trachea.

Of these airways the Air-Q Intubating Laryngeal Airway (Air-Q) (Cookgas, St. Louis, MO, USA) and Fekry Oral Intubating Airway (Ameco Technology, Cairo, Egypt).

Conditions

  • Fekry VS the Air-Q Intubating Airways

Interventions

DEVICE

Patients will be intubated using Air-Q airway

Both groups: Grade 1: Split airway provides an unobstructed path for bronchoscope from mouth to glottis. Grade 2: Tongue rests against posterior pharyngeal wall causing partial obstruction to bronchoscope. Grade 3: Epiglottis rests against posterior pharyngeal wall causing partial obstruction to bronchoscope. Grade 4: Tongue and epiglottis rest against posterior pharyngeal wall, both causing partial obstruction to bronchoscope. Grade 5: Tongue rests against posterior pharyngeal wall causing total obstruction to bronchoscope (failure). Grade 6: Epiglottis rests against posterior pharyngeal wall causing total obstruction to bronchoscope (failure)
