Official Title: Utilization of Airway Stabilizing Rod to Assist With LMA Guided Fiberoptic Intubation in Children
Brief Summary:
The pediatric airway is known to be more challenging than the adult airway when performing endotracheal intubation.When a patient cannot be ventilated and/or intubated, the guidelines for airway management dictate that a laryngeal mask airway (LMA) be used as a rescue device to oxygenate and ventilate the patient.While an excellent device the LMA is seen as temporary and ultimately needs to be replaced by an endotracheal tube (ETT).
