Abstract
The clinical data of 96 intubated inpatients with restricted cervical movement from June 2012 to June 2014 were retrospectively reviewed.They were divided into fiberoptic bronchoscope, Shikani optical stylet and McCoy laryngoscope groups (n=32 each). Identical anesthesia induction was applied.Compared with McCoy laryngoscope group, the total success rate and one-time success rate of tracheal intubation was higher in Shikani optical stylet group, tracheal intubation time was shorter and postoperative complications were fewer (P 0.05). Shikani optical stylet intubation has a less impact on hemodynamics and intubation time is short so that it is ideal for surgical patients with restricted cervical spine. Key words: Intubation, intratracheal; Spondylosis, cervical vertebrae
