Kim DH, et al. - This study, including patients with limited mouth opening and cervical spine immobilization by a semi-rigid neck collar, compared the performances of the paediatric blade of a Pentax Airway Scope and an Ovassapian airway in fibreoptic tracheal intubation in these subjects. Findings demonstrated that combined use of the paediatric blade of a Pentax Airway Scope and a fibreoptic bronchoscope vs use of the Ovassapian airway and the fibreoptic bronchoscope enabled rapid tracheal intubation, minimizing the use of external manoeuvres of the airway in this patient population.
