The lightwand device (Trachligh) is effective and safe for difficult tracheal intubation. We recorded the process of acquiring the intubation technique with Trachlight and evaluated the usefulness of Trachlight for tracheal intubation.
Tracheal intubation with Trachlight was performed by inexperienced anesthesiologists in one hundred patients undergoing general anesthesia. The time to tracheal intubation was recorded.
Tracheal intubation with Trachlight was successful in 92 (92%) of 100 patients. As the experience of anesthesiologists increased, both the time to tracheal intubation and the success rate improved. There were no significant correlations between the time to tracheal intubation and any of the airway parameters for Trachlight intubation.
This study suggests that the experience of at least 30 cases is necessary to learn the intubation technique with Trachlight.
光棒装置（Trachligh）用于困难气管插管有效且安全。我们记录了使用Trachlight获得插管技术的过程，并评估了Trachlight用于气管插管的实用性。
由经验不足的麻醉医生对100例接受全身麻醉的患者使用Trachlight进行气管插管。记录气管插管时间。
100例患者中92例（92%）使用Trachlight气管插管成功。随着麻醉医生经验的增加，气管插管时间和成功率均有所提高。气管插管时间与Trachlight插管的任何气道参数之间均无显著相关性。
本研究表明，至少需要30例的经验才能学会使用Trachlight的插管技术。
