10 Questions
Which of the following is NOT considered a risk factor for difficult laryngoscopy?
Both a and b
What is rarely necessary during tracheal intubation?
Fibreoptic (FOB) intubation
What combination is recommended for rapid induction to establish an airway?
Propofol & Succinylcholine
Why should a second person experienced with airway management be present?

Laryngeal mask airway (LMA)
Which factor is not a risk for difficult laryngoscopy?
Increased weight
For which procedure is Fibreoptic (FOB) intubation rarely necessary?
Tracheal intubation
Which combination of drugs is recommended for rapid induction to establish an airway?
Propofol & Succinylcholine
What should be available as a bridge until an ETT is placed?
Laryngeal mask airway (LMA)
Why should a second person experienced with airway management be present during rapid induction?
To assist with mask ventilation
Study Notes
Tracheal Intubation
- Weight or BMI does not increase the risk of difficult laryngoscopy.
- Fibreoptic (FOB) intubation is not commonly required.
- Rapid induction with Propofol and Succinylcholine is the preferred method for establishing an airway.
- Mask ventilation can be challenging, so it's essential to have a second person experienced in airway management to assist.
- A Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) should be available as a backup option to serve as a bridge until an Endotracheal Tube (ETT) is placed.
Learn best practices for tracheal intubation, including when to use fibreoptic intubation, rapid induction methods, and the importance of having a second person assist with airway management.
