Summary
This study evaluates the efficiency of the rigid tube for laryngoscopy for tracheal intubation in patients with presumed difficult airway and compare the classical laryngoscopy and this method in matter of glottis visualisation and tracheal intubation.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- patients with criteria of anatomically difficult airway from SARI (The Simplified Airway Risk Index Scale) parameters analysis
- patients with airway pathology which predicted difficult intubation: tumors or cervical masses, previous radiotherapy or surgery
Exclusion Criteria
- stridor or marked laryngeal or tracheal stenosis, vocal cords polyps
- emergency surgery, decompensated cardiac or pulmonary disease
- grade 1 and 2a at classical laryngoscopy after Cormack- Lehane Classification
