Air-Q intubating laryngeal airway mask
Ambu-Aura intubating laryngeal mask
Where Air-Q intubating laryngeal airway will be used for ventilation & intubation through fiberoptic bronchoscope. After complete muscle relaxation a suitable sized (according to the patient's weight and BMI) Air-Q will be lubricated inserted and the ventilator circuit will be connected to the device to ventilate the patient. The ventilator will be set with tidal volume 4-6 ml/kg at a respiratory rate 12-15 breath/minute to keep normocapnia (ETCO2=30-35 mmHg). Vitals (HR, ABP and O2 saturation) and ET CO2were recorded 5 minutes after device insertion. Then intubation using the fiberoptic bronchoscope will be started through the supraglottic device, laryngeal view grade will be recorded, success of endotracheal intubation through the device and time of intubation (time starting from disconnection of the circuit from the device to use the fiberoptic brochoscope for intubation till tube insertion in the trachea).
