Airtraq
Airtraq is a fibreoptic intubation device used for indirect (video or optic assisted) tracheal intubation in difficult airway situations. It is designed to enable a view of the glottic opening without aligning the oral with the pharyngeal, and laryngeal axes as an advantage over direct endotracheal intubation and allows for intubation with minimal head manipulation and positioning.〔D. Gravenstein, S. Lampotang, (AIRTRAQ Laryngoscope ),''University of Florida Department of Anesthesiology'', 2 July 2011, retrieved 2 July 2013〕
== Description ==
Airtraq was developed by Pedra A. Gandarias and produced and marketed by Prodol Meditec S.A.,Vizcaya, Spain. The standard Airtraq is a disposable article with an eye piece optic, while the AirtraqAvant allows re-use of the optical system as well as external video monitoring and recording. The Airtraq blade is anatomically formed, with a battery powered light source at the tip of the blade. The battery power reserve is sufficient to power the bulb for 90 minutes according to the product information. The light bulb is designed to reach an operating temperature of 40 °C in order to suppress fogging of the optical system. The visual image is transmitted from a lens at the distal tip of the blade to the optical eyepiece ( or monitor) via a series of prisms and mirrors. Apart from the integrated optical system, the handle and blade of the Airtraq laryngoscope also contain a channel for the placement and insertion of the endotracheal tube.
The Airtraq laryngoscope is available in four sizes ranging from Infant (size 0) to large Adult (size 3). The large adult size requires a minimal mouth opening of 18mm. Any type of endotracheal tube can be used with the Airtraq. Endotracheal tubes of inner diameter (ID) sizes 7.0 mm to 8.5 mm can be used with the large adult size.
