La lame du laryngoscope permet de déplacer la langue et de mieux placer le tube endotrachéal. - Technical
-
One of the difficulties in providing anesthetic care to pregnant and/or obese women comes when performing tracheal intubation. The introduction into the mouth and pharynx of a regular laryngoscope is often impeded by the patient's breasts. It was Dr Sanjay Datta in Boston who determined that using a short-handled laryngoscopes would be helpful. Dr Datta completed his anesthetic training in the UK and then spent a year as a research fellow in regional and obstetric anesthesia in the Department of Anesthesia at McGill, before moving to Boston. There he saw differences in both the patients and anesthetic practices, in comparison to Montreal and Manchester. L'une des difficultés de l'anesthésie chez les femmes enceintes et/ou obèses réside dans l'intubation trachéale. L'introduction dans la bouche et le pharynx d'un laryngoscope ordinaire est souvent gênée par la poitrine de la patiente. C'est le Dr Sanjay Datta, à Boston, qui a déterminé que l'utilisation d'un laryngoscope à manche court serait utile. Le Dr Datta a terminé sa formation en anesthésie au Royaume-Uni, puis a passé un an en tant que chercheur en anesthésie régionale et obstétrique au département d'anesthésie de l'Université McGill, avant de s'installer à Boston. C'est là qu'il a constaté des différences, tant au niveau des patients que des pratiques anesthésiques, par rapport à Montréal et Manchester. - Area Notes
