We report two patients with difficult airways who underwent tracheal intubation using the new fibreoptic intubating Laryngeal Mask Airway CTrach. The imaging technology of the LMA-CTrach was decisive in the management of these two patients. The first patient had lingual tonsillar hyperplasia, and an omega-shaped retroflexed epiglottis. The second patient had a C2-occipital fusion and was completely unable to extend her head. Given the anatomical difficulties encountered, it was likely that intubation would have been difficult or impossible through the LMA-Fastrach. The aim of this report is to describe the successful use of this new intubating laryngeal mask airway in these two challenging patients.
我们报告了两名气道困难的患者，他们使用新型光纤插管喉罩气道CTrach进行了气管插管。LMA-CTrach的成像技术在这两名患者的治疗中起了决定性作用。第一名患者有舌扁桃体增生和Ω形后屈会厌。第二名患者有C2枕骨融合，完全无法伸展头部。鉴于所遇到的解剖学困难，通过LMA-Fastrach进行插管很可能会很困难或无法进行。本报告的目的是描述这种新型插管喉罩气道在这两名具有挑战性的患者中的成功应用。
