Balloon laryngoscopy reduces head extension and blade leverage in patients with potential cervical spine injury

BACKGROUND: Head extension and excessive laryngoscope blade levering motion (LBLM) are undesirable during airway management of trauma patients. We hypothesized that laryngoscopy with a modified blade facilitating glottic exposure by balloon inflation would reduce head extension and LBLM. PATIENTS AN...
