Potentially difficult airways warrant the use of airway adjuncts, which, if not used with caution, can cause trauma to the oral cavity. Although most operators are familiar with modern airway adjuncts, as they are not routinely used, adverse events can occur. Since its introduction, a video laryngoscope (VL) has been lauded as a necessary instrument for airway management in and out of the operating room. This case report highlights right tonsillar tissue perforation with a GlideScope® VL (Verathon Incorporated, Bothell, Washington, USA), requiring primary closure by an otolaryngologist.
潜在的困难气道需要使用气道辅助工具，如果使用不当，可能会导致口腔创伤。尽管大多数操作人员熟悉现代气道辅助工具，但由于它们并非常规使用，仍可能发生不良事件。自视频喉镜（VL）问世以来，它一直被誉为手术室内外气道管理的必备器械。本病例报告重点介绍了使用GlideScope® VL（美国华盛顿州博塞尔市Verathon公司）导致右侧扁桃体组织穿孔的情况，需要耳鼻喉科医生进行一期缝合。
