A preliminary report is presented of a technique for using the C-MAC videolaryngoscope to carry out nasopharyngeal intubations. The main thrust of the technique is that cuff inflation of the endotracheal tube is used to lift the endotracheal tube off the posterior pharyngeal wall and thus direct it towards the glottis. The technique was used successfully in 5 consecutive patients needing nasotracheal intubation. Indeed a couple of these patients might have been difficult to intubate using conventional laryngoscopy. The full technique is described together with pictures at the various stages of intubation.
本文初步报告了一种使用C-MAC视频喉镜进行鼻咽插管的技术。该技术的主要要点是利用气管导管的套囊充气将气管导管从咽后壁抬起，从而使其对准声门。该技术在连续5例需要鼻气管插管的患者中成功应用。事实上，其中一些患者使用传统喉镜插管可能会很困难。本文完整描述了该技术，并配有插管各阶段的图片。
