    Summary

    Translingual guided intubation (TLI) offers an effective emergency airway management solution. This refined technique uses a guidewire and sheath for rapid, successful endotracheal tube placement, even in difficult cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Emergency Medicine
    • Anesthesiology
    • Critical Care

    Background:

    • Airway obstruction is a critical challenge in acute care settings.
    • Difficult intubation can arise from anatomical issues, trauma, or failed attempts, leading to poor visualization.
    • Securing a patent airway is paramount for patient survival and outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a refined technique for translaryngeal guided intubation (TLI).
    • To demonstrate the efficacy and practicality of TLI as an emergency airway management strategy.

    Main Methods:

    • Percutaneous cricothyroid puncture to introduce a spring guidewire.
    • Guidewire advancement into the oropharynx/nasopharynx and externalization via mouth or nostrils.
    • Use of a plastic sheath over the guidewire as a stylet for endotracheal tube insertion.

    Main Results:

    • The refined TLI technique was successfully employed.
    • The method allows for rapid and effective endotracheal tube placement.
    • The technique is effective even in scenarios with obscured vocal cords.

    Conclusions:

    • Translingual guided intubation (TLI) is a highly effective emergency technique for securing an airway.
    • TLI is quick to perform, requires inexpensive equipment, and is a valuable alternative for difficult intubations.
