iLTS-D
Up to 20% of all emergency intubations are estimated to be difficult to manage¹. Having the right system available is the cornerstone of effective airway management in an emergency. Airway algorithms recommend the usage of supraglottic airway devices (SAD) as options to overcome difficult scenario.
In order to prevent aspiration, the NAP4 report prescribes the use of devices with gastric access. The iLTS-D allows the possibility of an endotracheal intubation. SAD with intubating capability provide a way to reach a definitive airway (ET Tube placement).
As VBM´s 3rd generation SAD the iLTS-D compiles all essential features required to achieve and protect an airway:
Ventilation – wide airway section to optimise gas flow and low pressure cuffs to maximise sealing performance
Drain Tube – gastric access to permit the passage of a large gastric tube
Intubation – special design of ventilation lumen to enable fiberoptic insertion of an ET Tube
Features
The video shows the insertion and placement of the iLTS-D, followed by the tracheal intubation with
a fibreoptic bronchoscope (FOB) assistance and finally the removal of the iLTS-D.
Excessive cuff pressure can lead to swelling of the tongue. Adjust the cuff pressure to max. 60 cmH2O via the VBM cuff pressure gauge.
