Video laryngoscopy has demonstrated utility in airway management. For the present case series, we report the use of video laryngoscopy to evaluate the airway of critically ill, mechanically ventilated patients, as a means to reduce the risk of immediate postextubation stridor by assessing the degree of laryngeal edema. We also describe the use of cellular phone cameras to document and communicate airway edema in using video laryngoscopy for the patients' medical records. We found video laryngoscopy to be an effective method of assessing airway edema, and cellular phone cameras were useful for recording and documenting video laryngoscopy images for patients' medical records.
视频喉镜已被证明在气道管理中具有实用性。在本病例系列中，我们报告了使用视频喉镜评估危重症、机械通气患者的气道，以通过评估喉水肿的程度来降低拔管后即刻喘鸣的风险。我们还描述了使用手机摄像头记录和沟通使用视频喉镜的气道水肿，以便将其用于患者的病历。我们发现视频喉镜是评估气道水肿的有效方法，手机摄像头对于记录和记录患者病历中的视频喉镜图像非常有用。
