Summary

To compare two hybrid techniques, flexible bronchoscopy-guided intubation with a video laryngoscope and flexible bronchoscopy-guided intubation with a laryngeal mask, that have recently shown promise as a way to increase first-attempt success rates and reduce complications in children with anticipated difficult intubation.

Conditions

• Failed or Difficult Intubation

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	simultaneous videolaryngoscopy	Two specialists perform tracheal intubation, one using a video laryngoscope to expose the vocal cords and the other using a fiberoptic bronchoscope.
DEVICE	supraglottic airway	After inserting the supraglottic airway, the specialist performs intubation using a fiberoptic bronchoscope through the supraglottic airway.
