INTRODUCTION: There is urgent need to find a swift and cheap way to safely perform routine endoscopic procedures during the otolaryngological and anesthesiological practice. We want to share our experience of a novel device, inspired by the pediatric head box experience.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Five otolaryngologists and four anesthesiologists were asked to visualize the glottic plane by using the device. A total of 15 attempts was allowed to reach the vocal folds within 60 seconds after entering the box. Student's t-test for unpaired samples was used to compare groups.
RESULTS: Transnasal laryngoscopy through our endobox could be successfully performed by all the physicians involved and the mean number of attempts before visualizing and passing the glottis for the first time was 2.8 (range 1-5) in the otolaryngologists' group versus 3.2 (range 1-6) in the anesthesiologists' group (P=0.583). Out of the 15 attempts, the group of otolaryngologists reached the glottis 10.2 times, on average, against 9.7 in the other group (P=0.692).
CONCLUSIONS: Our endobox seems a practical and feasible strategy to control droplets diffusion during standard ear, nose, and throat and anesthesiological practice.
