  • Title: Low-skill fibreoptic intubation: use of the Aintree Catheter with the classic LMA.
    Author: Higgs A, Clark E, Premraj K.
    Journal: Anaesthesia; 2005 Sep; 60(9):915-20. PubMed ID: 16115253.
    Abstract:
    We describe a series of patients in whom anaesthetists - many of whom were trainees and had no prior experience of using the Aintree Intubation Catheter - successfully intubated the tracheas of patients in whom conventional attempts at intubation had failed. This was achieved by passing a fibrescope loaded with an Aintree Intubation Catheter through a classic Laryngeal Mask Airway (cLMA), which had already been placed to maintain the patient's airway.
