METHOD FOR TRACHEAL INTUBATION Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: medicine, anesthesiology, resuscitation.

SUBSTANCE: the present innovation deals with intubation at patient's side-lying position. With the help of head end of operation table patient's head should be positioned for the level of body's longitudinal axis. Along body's posterior surface at the level of patient's head and cervico-thoracic vertebral department one should put a support to be fixed to head end of operation table. Then a patient should be fixed. Introductory narcosis should be conducted with a myorelaxant followed by tracheal intubation with the help of laryngoscope. The method enables to prevent orthostatic disorders due to excluding patient's rotation during anesthesia and, also, minimize pharmacological loading upon a patient due to putting him/her into side-lying position before the onset of anesthesiological technique.

EFFECT: higher efficiency for tracheal intubation.
