Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyAir-Q® versus LMA Fastrach™ for fiberoptic-guided intubation: A randomized cross-over manikin trial.
Airway management is still a major cause of anesthesia-associated morbidity and mortality. Supraglottic devices are recommended in difficult airway management guidelines. The aim of this study was to compare the performance of the Air-Q® and the LMA Fastrach™ for fiberoptic guided tracheal intubation. ⋯ Inexperienced anesthesia residents can perform fiberoptic-guided intubation through Air-Q® and LMA Fastrach™ in a clinically acceptable time with high success.
