Clinical analysis on 362 cases of difficult tracheal intubation solved by tube changer
Objective:To discuss the effect of tube changer in relieving difficult tracheal intubation.Methods:Three hundred and sixty-two patients with difficult tracheal intubation were selected to be aided with tube changer in the study.Electrocardiogram
blood pressure and oxygen saturation were observed.Results:The incidence of successful intubation was 93.9%(340/362).Twenty-two failing cases were treated by tracheotomy.Conclusion:Tube changer is a well assisting equipment in treating difficult tracheal intubation.By using tube changer
the intubation time in the patients with difficult intubations decreased and the incidence of successful intubation increases.It is recommended to adjust intubation on the basis of monitoring result.
