The Cormack and Lehane score was IIb\u2013III in 35 patients, and IV in 12 patients, with the Macintosh laryngoscope, while Cormack and Lehane score was I\u2013IIa in 40 patients, IIb\u2013III in three and IV in four with Airtraq\u2122<\/jats:sup>. A gum elastic bougie was used to facilitate tracheal access in one\u2010third (11\/36) of the cases. Orotracheal intubation was not possible with Airtraq\u2122<\/jats:sup> in nine cases, five of whom had a pharyngeal, laryngeal or basal lingual tumour.<\/jats:p>Conclusion: <\/jats:bold> In patients with difficult airway, following failed conventional orotracheal intubation, Airtraq\u2122<\/jats:sup> allows securing the airway in 80% of cases mainly by improving glottis view. However, the Airtraq\u2122<\/jats:sup> does not guarantee successful intubation in all instances, especially in case of laryngeal and\/or pharyngeal obstruction.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1399-6576.2009.02011.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,6,3]],"date-time":"2009-06-03T10:18:45Z","timestamp":1244024325000},"page":"858-863","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":42,"title":["Performance of the Airtraq\u2122<\/sup> laryngoscope after failed conventional tracheal intubation: a case series"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"53","author":[{"given":"E.","family":"MALIN","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J. de","family":"MONTBLANC","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Y.","family":"YNINEB","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"E.","family":"MARRET","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"F.","family":"BONNET","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,7,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_2","first-page":"469","article-title":"Evaluation of intubation using the Airtraq or Macintosh laryngoscope by anaesthetists in easy and simulated difficult laryngoscopy","volume":"61","author":"Maharaj CH","year":"2006","journal-title":"a manikin study"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_2","first-page":"1093","article-title":"A comparison of tracheal intubation using the Airtraq\u00ae or the Macintosh laryngoscope in routine airway management","volume":"61","author":"Maharaj CH","year":"2006","journal-title":"a randomized, controlled clinical trial"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.anes.0000267529.71756.f0"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_2","first-page":"263","article-title":"Tracheal intubation of morbidly obese patients","volume":"100","author":"Ndoko SK","year":"2008","journal-title":"a randomized trial comparing performance of Macintosh and Airtraq\u2122 laryngoscopes"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2044.2007.05316.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_2","first-page":"598","article-title":"The Airtraq as a rescue airway device following failed direct laryngoscopy","volume":"62","author":"Maharaj CH","year":"2007","journal-title":"a case series"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_2","first-page":"1290","article-title":"The intubation difficulty scale (IDS)","volume":"87","author":"Adnet F","year":"1997","journal-title":"proposal and evaluation of a new score characterizing the complexity of endotracheal intubation"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2044.2007.05128.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00000542-200703000-00027"}],"container-title":["Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1111%2Fj.1399-6576.2009.02011.x","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/j.1399-6576.2009.02011.x","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,10]],"date-time":"2023-10-10T16:19:46Z","timestamp":1696954786000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/j.1399-6576.2009.02011.x"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2009,7,7]]},"references-count":9,"journal-issue":{"issue":"7","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2009,8]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1111\/j.1399-6576.2009.02011.x"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/j.1399-6576.2009.02011.x","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0001-5172","1399-6576"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0001-5172","type":"print"},{"value":"1399-6576","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2009,7,7]]}}}
