Abstract

The article presents the results of anesthetic management of 75 patients with phlegmon of the neck. In this study it was found that the main causes of severe tracheal intubation in patients with phlegmon of the neck were the limitation of mouth opening is less than 3 cm, rigid and oedema of the epiglottis of the larynx. When tracheal intubation with a standard laryngoscope, the incidence of difficult intubation was 62.6 %, of which 9.3 % were unsuccessful. The frequency of difficult tracheal intubation using the fibreoptic and videolaryngoscopy Flaplight was 8.1 % and 7.9 %, respectively, compared with a standard laryngoscope. Thus, videolaryngoscopy Flaplight can be recommended for tracheal intubation in patients with phlegmon of the neck.
