Excursions of the cervical spine during tracheal intubation: blind oral intubation compared with direct laryngoscopy.

abstract：:Duration of laryngoscopy must be kept as short as possible to prevent disturbances of oxygenation and ventilation. Because the factors associated with prolonged laryngoscopy are not well known, we studied 1000 patients undergoing tracheal intubation under general anaesthesia to determine the possible effects of their ...
