Abstract | The combined use of a lightwand and the intubating laryngeal mask airway (ILMA) was compared with the use of the ILMA alone to determine whether the combination was a more efficient method of endotracheal intubation. One hundred healthy patients were randomly assigned to two groups. After induction of anaesthesia, Group A patients were intubated blindly through the ILMA while in Group B, intubation was guided by a lightwand. A sequence of standard manoeuvres was followed if attempts at intubation failed. The number of manoeuvres used, the time taken for successful intubation and complications associated with intubation were recorded. Intubations were successful in all patients, but the mean endotracheal intubation time was longer in Group A than in Group B (38.3 ±10.4 s versus 26.4 ±9.1 s, P < 0.001). The number of patients who needed one or more manoeuvres was significantly higher in Group A than in Group B (76% versus 42%, P=0.001). We conclude that the lightwand is a useful adjunct in endotracheal intubation through an ILMA. |
