The influence of different patient positions during rapid induction with severe regurgitation on the volume of aspirate and time to intubation: a prospective randomised manikin simulation study.
Michael St PierreFrederick KrischkeBjoern LuetckeJoachim SchmidtPublished in: BMC anesthesiology (2019)
In a simulated setting, using a manikin-based simulator capable of fluid regurgitation, a - 15° head-down tilt with Sellick position reduced the amount of aspirated fluid but increased the difficulty in visualising the vocal cords and prolonged the time taken to intubate. Assessing the airway management in the identical position in healthy patients without risk of aspiration might be a promising next step to take.
