title: [Use of the airway scope for rapid sequence induction in the emergency operation].
abstract: Rapid sequence intubation is a common procedure in emergency patients at risk for pulmonary gastric aspiration. However, in some of these cases may accompany a difficult airway. The Airway Scope (AWS) has been shown to be useful for difficult airway. We used AWS for rapid sequence intubation in 19 such patients. All patients were successfully intubated without any complication. We believe that AWS is a useful device for rapid sequence intubation.
