Intubation in patients with restricted spine mobility - A clinical study
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Anesthesiology - Year 2019, Vol 10, Issue 2
Abstract
Tracheal intubation is necessary in patients with confirmed or suspected cervical spine instability. Patients are at risk in the laryngoscopic procedures following intubation. The severity of neurological sequel can be reduced when cervical injury is recognised early. The main aim in these patients is reduction of the movement of cervical spine during intubation. A prospective study was done in AJ Institute of Medical Sciences in this regard, taking into consideration the ease of intubation with simulated neck immobilisation using hard cervical collar. The demographic characteristics, clinical parameters, time taken for intubation, complications and the sequlae were evaluated and described.
