CR#32 Two consecutive uses of Infant Airtraq in anticipated difficult intubation

Annales Françaises d’Anesthésie et de Réanimation (2010) A. Lafrikh, CHU de Bordeaux, France

If this result is confirmed by prospective studies, Airtraq could be a first-line device to intubate infants with difficult intubation.
