Ali Habibi; Erin Bushell; Richard A. Jaffe; Rona G. Giffard; John G. Brock-Utne
Excerpt
The Bullard[trade mark sign] Intubating Laryngoscope (Circon Corporation, Stamford, CT) was introduced into anesthesia practice for use in patients with normal airways and in cases in which a difficult endotracheal intubation is anticipated. It is designed to allow insertion of an endotracheal tube without extending the patient's neck and head or widely opening the mouth. We report two cases in which the Bullard[trade mark sign] scope was used and the serious clinical concerns that arose. Based on our experience, we recommend that all Bullard[trade mark sign] users carefully review the instruction manual and be aware of the potential complications associated with its use.
