Novel Use of C-MAC in A Non-Anaesthesia Field

A 56 years old 65 kg male patient with a diagnosis of vocal cord growth was posted for Direct Laryngoscopy biopsy. On airway assessment his Mallampati score was II, mouth opening was adequate, the temporomandibular distance was more than 6.5 cm and neck movement was slightly restricted. After shifting to the operation theatre all the monitors, like 3 lead ECG, NIBP and pulse oximeter were attached. An Intravenous cannula was placed in the left hand with a 20 g cannula. The patient was preoxyginated for 3 minutes with 100% oxygen. Then, induction of anaesthesia was done with intravenous injection Propofol 140 mg and intravenous 50mg rocuronium was given after confirming the adequacy of mask ventilation. Intubation was done with 6 mm ID PVC micro laryngeal endotracheal tube using a bougie. It was an anticipated difficult airway.
