Implication

Does not justify routine adoption for difficult airways in ankylosing spondylitis; leaves open role pending controlled studies.

Structured PICO

P
Population
1 patient with ankylosing spondylitis with cervical involvement resulting in a fixed flexion deformity undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting
I
Intervention
Intubating laryngeal mask airway insertion and subsequent intubation
O
Outcome
Successful insertion and intubation

The intubating laryngeal mask airway can be successfully used for difficult intubation in patients with ankylosing spondylitis and fixed cervical flexion deformity undergoing CABG.
