Synopsis
Charles McCuskey MD describes the practice of endotracheal intubation to camera. Then a narrator summarises best practice in the selection of anaesthetising agents and equipment. A patient (a female) is induced by the open drop technique using ether. Anaesthesia is cyclopropene. A derivative of curare is used for muscle relaxant. The features and benefits of different kinds of tubes (for intubation) are outlined. Intubation is demonstrated first on a cadaver. A laryngoscope is used which gives the anaesthetist's view of the epiglottis and vocal chord. A conscious patient in a standing position is intubated with the aid of a local anaesthetic spray (blind nasal intubation). Surgery in different parts of the body are shown briefly of note is a sequence which exposes the brain. 1 segment.
