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.
