A novel modified method of using Trachway intubating stylet for awake tracheal intubation in patients with anticipated difficult airway
چکیده انگلیسی

The Trachway intubating stylet is designed to facilitate tracheal intubation in anesthetized patients with a normal or difficult airway anatomy. The shortcoming of this device is the lack of a working channel to provide topicalization of the airway. We describe a novel modified method of using Trachway intubating stylet to provide airway topicalization and perform awake orotracheal intubation in two cases with an anticipated difficult airway. The first case was a superobese patient with a cervical spine disorder, whereas the second case was a patient with an enlarged thyroid gland. Transtracheal lidocaine injection was technically difficult in these patients because of neck obesity and thyroid enlargement, respectively. We believe that this modified method can be used to provide effective airway topicalization when Trachway intubating stylet is used for awake orotracheal intubation.
