The Tudor Williams Airway was invented and developed by a member of the anesthetic department at Foothills Medical Centre in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. La voie respiratoire Tudor Williams a été inventée et développée par un membre du service d’anesthésie du Centre médical Foothills à Calgary, en Alberta, au Canada.
Function
The Airway Intubator serves two purposes: as an oropharyngeal airway and, should the need arise, an endotracheal tube can be passed through the center of the airway intubator into the trachea without the need for further instrumentation. Le Airway Intubator sert à deux fins : comme une voie aérienne oropharyngée et, si le besoin se présente, un tube endotrachéal peut être passé par le centre de l’intubator des voies aériennes dans la trachée sans avoir besoin d’instruments supplémentaires.
Technical
The device differs from a normal airway in that it allows an anesthesiologist to perform tracheal intubation through the device without using a laryngoscopes. In other words, tracheal intubation is carried out 'blindly', that is, without looking in the mouth. Dr Williams also used the device to facilitate intubation using a fibre-optic scope, which would allow visualization of the vocal cords. The endotracheal tube could then be railroaded over the scope and through the airway, down into the trachea. The heavy (pink) plastic tubing would also protect the fragile scope from damage from a patient's teeth. One intrinsic hazard with the device, however, is that it is very difficult to tell the difference between the 10 cm and the 9 cm sizes, unless they are next to each other. If the smaller size was chosen, then that could result in it being impossible for the anesthesiologist to slide the tube over the fibre-optic scope.
