Airway management: A current problem
Abstract
A 74 year old patient was submitted to urgent surgery for intestinal occlusion. After the induction of the anaesthesia, tracheal intubation failed since no progression of the Eshmann tracheal tube introducer into the trachea was possible. Mask ventilation was difficult and a laryngeal mask was inserted. The airway was immediately re-established, the patient was rapidly re-oxygenated and the anaesthesiologist called for help.
