Intubation and anatomic alterations

[celsoh57]

For an anesthesiologist trained in this technique is very easy. Often it's the first option after to check in laryngoscopy to be a more difficult intubation.

He can do it without a laryngoscope since he has a cathether feeder in it, hence the little light, also notice he can check the position of the tube with the light being visual through the throat.

[Kevindavis08]

that is sweet, takes the difficulty right out of it.

Definitely could be used for trauma

[EuledieKeule19]

you can just see the light, if the tube is in the trachea. If you don't see this light, you know that you are in the esophagus;)

[rusbfern]

what is that red light at the tip of the tube?what are indications of this procedure?

There may be others but the one that we use is called a lightwand. It is useful in cases where one is concerned about neck extension and or mouth opening and some other situations. I do not use it that much. We got the Glide-scope and McGRATH this came out and I use those more. Lightwand might be more useful in a bloody airway compared to those tools however.
