ABSTRACT

La afección cervical aguda puede determinar un serio compromiso de la vía aérea como consecuencia de la distorsión anatómica secundaria a la obstrucción o desviación de la vía aérea superior, escenarios en los que cualquier dispositivo puede fracasar. El paso de un fibrobroncoscopio para exponer la glotis puede ser muy difícil, y la traqueotomía puede ser imposible o arriesgada en casos avanzados. Presentamos el uso del TotalTrack VLM en cirugía urgente para asegurar la vía aérea en 2 pacientes no cooperadores con vía aérea difícil debido a una angina de Ludwig y a un hematoma cervical, respectivamente, ambos acompañados de trismus (AU)


Acute cervical pathology may lead to serious airway compromise resulting from anatomical distortion secondary to obstruction or deviation of the upper airway, scenarios where any airway device can be fallible. Passage of a fiberoptic bronchoscopy to expose the glottis may be very difficult and tracheostomy may be impractical or risky in advanced cases. We present the use of the TotalTrack VLM to secure the airway for emergent surgery in 2 uncooperative patients with difficult airway due to Ludwig's angina and neck hematoma, respectively, both accompanied by trismus (AU)
