Successful Removal of Accidentally Found Dentures from the Airway by McGRATH MAC and SUZY Forceps : A Case Report

Abstract

Dentures were found in the airway following a sore throat complaint by an extubated 58-year-old patient. The object was successfully removed under local anesthesia by a McGRATH MAC video laryngoscope and SUZY forceps, which were designed to match the curved blade. McGRATH MAC is a relatively new device for tracheal intubation which has been shown, to provide a better view with less invasiveness. We propose that the application of McGRATH MAC combined with SUZY forceps to remove airway foreign objects, is easy and reliable practice.
