Airtraq® vs. fibreoptic intubation in patients with an unstable cervical spine fracture: A neurophysiological study

ConclusionTracheal intubation with an Airtraq® appears to be a viable alternative to fibreoptic intubation in patients with a traumatic cervical spine fracture and immobilized by a moulded cervical collar. Time necessary to secure an airway in these patients is significantly shorter with the Airtraq®.
