Title: Application of laryngscoope combining fiberoptic bronchoscope intubation in difficult airways
Abstract: Objective To estimate the clinical value of laryngoscope combining fiberoptic bronchoscope intubation in difficult airways.Methods Forty eight patients with anticipated difficult airways were randomly divided into two groups.Observation group was treated with laryngoscope combining fiberoptic bronchoscope intubation and control group was directly treated tracheal intubation under laryngoscope.The patients with unsuccessful three times with laryngoscope were retreated with laryngoscope combining fiberoptic bronchoscope intubation.The success rate by sub-tracheal intubation and complications were observed.Results The rate of once successful intubation in observation group was higher than that in control group(P0.05),and the rate of pharyngodynia and edema in observation group was lower than that in control group(P0.01).Conclusion Laryngoscope combining fiberoptic bronchoscope intubation in difficult airways was effective to reduce pharyngodynia and edema by directly laryngoscope repeated exposure.
