Abstract
The article discusses a study which evaluated the use of a simple prehospital difficult intubation algorithm. The study included prehospital emergency physicians and nurse anesthetists, who were asked to utilize a simple algorithm in all impossible laryngoscope-assisted tracheal intubation. The study authors concluded that adherence to a simple algorithm using the gum elastic bougie (GEB), the intubating laryngeal mask airway (ILMA) and cricothyroidotomy solve difficult intubation problems.
