ANESTESIOLOGIA: El 'videojuego' de la intubación

ANESTHESIA

Several surgeons work with the robot. this phase " Silvia R.

mirrors to observe their own vocal cords, this invention has not stopped evolving.

Comprising a separate sheet language that allows the epiglottis and a small flashlight, this device has different forms depending on the characteristics of the patient and is typically used to facilitate endotracheal intubation

ventilation that keeps the patient under general anesthesia. Dr. Thomas M. Hemmerling, a professor at McGill University (Montreal, Canada) has given a further twist to this ancient invention to create the

Kepler system
intubation. A mechanical genius whose goal is " facilitate the process of this practice

in the operating room to reduce some complications associated with airway management, as say the creators of this invention.

And is that some of the diseases that can complicate the control of the airway usually craniofacial malformations, postoperative alterations of the head and neck, maxillofacial trauma, suspicion or evidence of cervical spine injury and, even the size is also important on between the tongue and the pharyngeal cavity. Specifically, the advantage of this device consists of a video-laryngoscope robotically attached and controlled by a joystick with which, according to the authors' inserted accurately distance and without physical effort endotracheal tube used during local anesthesia. " Furthermore, the main advantage of this system is that "the difficulties that can arise when intubation usually occur due to the characteristics of the patient, but there is no doubt that there are also differences individual in the skills of the doctor who can influence the performance of airway management; risk is reduced with this invention

"says Dr. Hemmerling.

However, To what extent is this new invention? According to ELMUNDO.es Rocío Díez says Munar, Head of Unit Anestesología of Chiron Hospital Madrid, " the video-laryngoscope and used in Europe ; here the only novelty is that is joined to a joystick.

Having proved the Kepler intubator different dummies "who responded as a human being," according to Dr. Hemmerling, the hour of truth. Early last month for the first time using

real operation

and the result was "entirely satisfactory".

"can be a very useful invention in the U.S. and for those non-specialist practitioners, anesthesiologists who are not," said Diez Munar. "But here in Europe, is inconceivable that there is an anesthesiologist and operating room that is well trained to deal with these difficulties, "he says." Thus, at most, should be investigated to improve growing video laryngoscope and fiber optics. "

Moreover, Díez Munar is another problem in this invention Mechanical: cost. "Implementing this type of robots in each operating room would dearly

and now exactly what is sought is lower costs, so do not think I have a lot of output in European hospitals," concludes .
