Appropriate angled-tip front width facilitates tracheal tube introducer placement in difficult-to-displace epiglottis situations

Appropriate angled-tip front width facilitates tracheal tube introducer placement in difficult-to-displace epiglottis situations

Tracheal tube introducers (TTIs) are a useful aid to a conventional laryngoscopy-intubation method of upper airway access in adults. However, even when TTIs are used, successful tracheal intubation is not guaranteed. Apart from suboptimal practice proficiency and unavailability of the complete reper...
