Working channel


The start-up investment of the aScope is significantly lower than that of alternative products
It eliminates time and costs of hygienic reprocessing associated with standard flexible laryngoscopes, requiring a
special automatic endoscopy washing machine, and repair costs.

The aScope eliminates any risks of cross infection and is always available for use in other patients.

Experienced endoscopists had regularly problems with fogging of the camera system and the presence of
secretions obscuring the view due to the working channel cannot be used for suctioning.
The manufacturer should redesign the current model of the aScope (1)and provide this device with a larger sized
working channel and the facility for suctioning

aScope
Flexible optical scope(reusable)
Total cost of an intubation is greater when using disposable compared with reusable equipment (€204.4 vs. €177.7)
If video equipment with an external monitor is considered mandatory, the expenses are of equal magnitude.
The cost analysis is particularly sensitive to the actual number of flexible optic intubations performed; with fewer
intubations, the total cost will begin to favor disposable equipment.

aScope is an alternative to reusable bronchoscopes for PDT on ICU, and the single use design eliminates the risk of
cross contamination and delays with sterilization.

Conclusion
•
•
•
First attempt success rate was comparable between the two groups (Classic LMA 87% versus Ambu LMA 83%)
Time of insertion was significantly shorter in the Ambu LMA group
(Seal performance)Nitrous oxide level was comparable between the two groups up to 20 minutes of operation. At 40
and 60 minutes, the Ambu LMA showed a significant lower nitrous oxide leak compared to the Classic LMA.
Postoperatively, incidence of blood stains was comparable between the two groups, however the incidence of sore
throat was lower in the Ambu LMA group
The Ambu LMA was comparable to the Classic LMA in terms of the ease of insertion, but provided better seal during
positive pressure ventilation with less postoperative sore throat.

A manikin was intubated with either an ETT(Mallinckrodt) or an TT(tracheostomy), to compare aerosol delivery via
tracheostomy tube (TT) and ETT using interfaces such as T-piece, tracheostomy collar, and Ambu bag.
Main endpoints
•

T-piece
Tracheostomy collar
Ambu bag.
•
•
•
Use of Ambu bag with both TT and ETT increased lung dose more than three fold.
Inhaled dose with tracheostomy collar was less than T-piece with either TT or ETT
In an adult model of spontaneous ventilation, aerosol therapy through ETT is less efficient than TT, while the Ambu
bag was more efficient than T-piece or tracheostomy collar.


Two blinded anesthesiologists using a radio stethoscope performed a total of 100 assessments (50 each) to
evaluate endotracheal tube position on a human patient simulator(HPS)
Four ventilation patterns (i.e., right lung ventilation only; left lung ventilation only; ventilation of both lungs; and an
esophageal intubation or no breath sounds) were simulated.
An Ambu bag was used for ventilation, and subjects had to identify the ventilation pattern. Participants later
compared the two types of respirators and their ability to auscultate for breath sounds.

Devices with a tube guide (Airtraq and Ambu Pentax AWS) enable tracheal intubation to be achieved significantly faster
and with a lower failure rate than devices without a tube guide.
No video laryngoscope outperformed direct laryngoscopy with a Macintosh laryngoscope in this simulation study.
