    Cadaveric study of movement of an unstable atlanto-axial (C1/C2) cervical segment during laryngoscopy and intubation using the Airtraq (R), Macintosh and McCoy laryngoscopes

    Concern that laryngoscopy and intubation might create or exacerbate a spinal cord injury has generated extensive research into cervical spinal movement during laryngoscopy. We performed a randomised trial on six cadavers, using three different laryngoscopes, before and after creating a type?2 odontoid peg fracture. Our primary outcome measure was the change in the space available for the spinal cord at the C1/2 segment measured by cinefluoroscopy. Tracheal intubation was performed using a minimal view of the glottis, a bougie, and manual in?line stabilisation. In a cadaveric model of type?2 odontoid fracture, the space available for the cord was preserved in maximum flexion and extension, and changed little on laryngoscopy and intubation
