Summary

The pediatric airway is known to be more challenging than the adult airway when performing endotracheal intubation. When a patient cannot be ventilated and/or intubated, the guidelines for airway management dictate that a laryngeal mask airway (LMA) be used as a rescue device to oxygenate and ventilate the patient. While an excellent device the LMA is seen as temporary and ultimately needs to be replaced by an endotracheal tube (ETT).

Detailed description

The objective is to study this device in patients with difficult airway to assess the success rate and time to intubation for placing an endotracheal tube using this device.

Conditions

• Airway Complication of Anesthesia

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Time to Intubation using FASTER device	Time from fiberoptic placement onto airway to documentation of end-tidal carbon dioxide waveform through the endotracheal tube.
