Intubation Biomechanics: Laryngoscope Force and Cervical Spine Motion during Intubation in Cadavers—Cadavers vs. Patients the Effect of Repeated Intubations and the Effect of Type II Odontoid Fracture on C1-C2 Motion

摘要

IntroductionThe aims of this study were to characterize: 1) cadaver intubation biomechanics, including the effect of repeated intubations; and 2) the relationship between intubation force and the motion of an injured cervical segment.
