In a randomised cross‐over study, 48 anaesthetists attempted to place a Frova single‐use introducer, an Eschmann multiple‐use introducer and a Portex single‐use introducer in the trachea of a manikin set up to simulate a grade 3 laryngoscopic view. The anaesthetists were blinded to success (tracheal placement) or failure (oesophageal placement). Successful placement (proportion, 95% confidence interval) of either the Frova introducer (65%, 50–77%) or the Eschmann introducer (60%, 46–73%) was…

The single‐use introducers are more likely to cause tissue trauma during placement, particularly if held close to the tip, and the single‐ use introducers have a higher likelihood of causing tissue trauma than the new Portex or Frova.

Clinicians should be aware that when the Portex Venn reusable introducer is placed in the fridge before use, the associated increase in stiffness that improves the incidence of successful tracheal placement results in increased peak forces at the tip and an associated increased risk of airway trauma.

Adjusting the trolley height before laryngoscopy appears to improve the intubating conditions and may have beneficial effect on anaesthetist’s posture during intubation.

To minimise the force of laryngoscopy and movement of a potentially unstable cervical spine injury, consideration should be given to the early use of a bougie.

Given the shorter duration of intubation using the FC and its lower cost as compared with that of the BF, the FC can be considered superior to the BF in difficult intubations cases.

There is an increased risk of failure to intubate the trachea when using a single‐use bougie, and this must be weighed against the unquantified risk of cross‐infection from prions when using two‐ or multiple‐ use bougies.

It is concluded that the multiple‐use bougie is a more reliable aid to tracheal intubation than the single‐use introducer in grade IIIa laryngoscopy.

Percutaneous subclavian cannulation particularly on the left side, is a hazardous procedure and should be undertaken with great caution and it may also be wiser practice to avoid long, large-bore needles and catheter-through-needle devices such as the one used in this case.

The authors have demonstrated in morbidly obese patients that tracheal intubation was of shorter duration and easier with the Airtraq than with the Macintosh laryngoscope, resulting in a median IDS1⁄40 with theAirtraq, which is similar to that found in this study for the two videolaryngoscopes.
