Abstract:
Potentially difficult airways warrant the use of airway adjuncts, which, if not used with caution, can cause trauma to the oral cavity. Although most operators are familiar with modern airway adjuncts, as they are not routinely used, adverse events can occur. Since its introduction, a video laryngoscope (VL) has been lauded as a necessary instrument for airway management in and out of the operating room. This case report highlights right tonsillar tissue perforation with a GlideScope® VL (Verathon Incorporated, Bothell, Washington, USA), requiring primary closure by an otolaryngologist.
