Abstract:
The Airway Scope AWS-S100 (AWS, Pentax, Tokyo), a rigid video laryngoscope with integrated tube guidance that has recently become commercially available, helped the authors to establish airways in two patients with in-hospital cardiopulmonary arrest, after failed attempts to intubate the patients using the Macintosh laryngoscope (that only commanded the Cormack-Lehane grade 4 glottic views), the laryngeal mask airway, and even surgical cricothyroidotomy for the second case. This showed the utility of the AWS in the management of difficult airway cases even in emergency settings.

Endotracheal Intubation I: Procedure
The ET tube comprises various components, including a standard adaptor to attach a bag-valve-mask (BVM) or ventilator, a cuff, a pilot balloon, and radiopaque markings along its length to measure the insertion distance. The tube sizes...
Endotracheal Tube Extubation
Procedure
Extubation removes the endotracheal tube (ETT) from the patient on mechanical ventilation. It requires a well-coordinated, multidisciplinary approach involving physicians, nurses, respiratory therapists, and other healthcare professionals.
