ABSTRACT

The aim of this study is to demonstrate the usefulness of combined use of Airtraq® videolaryngoscope and guidance Frova® for the exchange nasal endotracheal tube during surgery for Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS). We designed a prospective study in which seven cases were collected. The technique was similar in all of them, following a procedure previously defined. We collected the time spent, number of attempts and complications. In seven cases, endotracheal tube exchange was successful, without incident or complication, offering speed and security in a move always difficult.
