Summary

This study compares two different approaches of lightwand intubation techniques in cervical immobilized patients.

Conditions

  • Intubation; Difficult or Failed

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Face-to-face approach

A front-facing approach and insert the lightwand following the patient's tongue base curvature without scooping movement

PROCEDURE

Conventional approach

Patients were positioned supine and the intubator stood above the patient's head. Opening the mouth and slightly pulling the mandible with one hand, the intubator inserted the lightwand-tracheal tube assembly at midline into the patient's mouth under the ambient light being turned off. To identify the location of the lighted tip, the intubator could move the lightwand back and forth gently, Once the red light of the tip was located at the midline of the patient's neck, the pre-launched tube was inserted smoothly into the patient's airway unless there was no resistance
