Who's Afraid of Difficult Airways?
KARL STORZ has made difficult airway management even
easier with its fifth generation of C-MAC video laryngoscopy
systems. Its elliptical tapering dBLADE conforms to the
oropharynx; it can be easily and quickly placed in front of the
glottis to ensure rapid and safe intubation. The new, universal
system interface is more flexible and provides numerous
options for airway management. Documentation of images and
video can't get much simpler with the BlueButton one-button
control. Reprocessing is possible up to 93 degrees centigrade.
Other features include a shortened handle, lightweight
construction and impressive resistance to impact.

A Safer Way to Place Continuous Nerve Blocks
Anesthesia professionals can place faster and safer continuous
nerve blocks with the E-Cath Plus from Pajunk. The catheter-
over-needle approach makes placing the needle like placing a
single shot nerve block. Once the tip is in the right location,
withdraw the needle and connect the catheter via luer-lock. The
catheter is visible under ultrasound, and seals better than
traditional catheters. E-Cath Plus includes an integrated stainless-
steel stylet. It stabilizes the catheter while withdrawing and
advancing
in the indwelling cannula. Product samples available.
