Tactile orotracheal intubation.

R D Stewart

    Annals of Emergency Medicine
    |March 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    A refined tactile endotracheal intubation technique allows airway management in deeply comatose patients, including trauma cases with potential cervical spine injury. This method aids clinicians in critical care settings.

    Area of Science:

    • Emergency Medicine
    • Anesthesiology
    • Critical Care

    Background:

    • A previously described tactile (digital) endotracheal intubation method was refined.
    • The technique involves guiding the endotracheal tube via epiglottis palpation.

    Observation:

    • The refined technique was practiced on cadavers and applied in field and emergency settings.
    • It can be performed without head and neck movement, even with immobilization devices.
    • The procedure is effective despite airway secretions or blood.

    Findings:

    • Tactile endotracheal intubation is suitable for deeply comatose patients.
    • It is particularly advantageous for trauma patients with potential cervical spine injuries.
    • The technique facilitates intubation in challenging airway conditions.

    Implications:

    • This method offers a valuable tool for emergency and critical care clinicians.
    • It improves airway management in critically ill or injured patients.
    • The technique enhances patient safety during endotracheal intubation.
