Abstract:Abstract: Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of disposable video laryngoscope (Airtraq) combined with fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) in coping with difficult airway anesthesia. Methods The patients underwent Mallampati evaluation for anesthesiologists class III or IV, ASA grade I ~ II. Firstly, Cormack-Lehane rating patients directly through the ordinary laryngoscope intubation after induction of anesthesia. Class III or IV patients were randomly divided into Airtraq combined with FOB (A group, 30 cases) and Airtraq (group B, 30 cases). Then, the number of intubation, intubation time, hemodynamic changes, throat injury, and sore throat were recorded during the implementation of orotracheal intubation. Results The intubation time, intubation times in group A were less than those in group B, and the difference between group A and B was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Before and after intubation, mean arterial pressure was compared between group A and B, and the difference was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). Conclusion Compared with Airtraq, Airtraq combined with FOB shows more effective in clinical application for Cormack-Lehane rating grade III patients. The advantage of Airtraq combined with FOB inclding visible throughout, high success rate, short intubation time, and less airway and pharyngeal injury.
