Filter by:The primary purpose of this prospective observational study was to compare these tests used to predict difficult intubation in patients undergoing thyroid surgery. Secondarily; By comparing these tests, we aim to find the test that best predicts difficult intubation and to determine the incidence of difficult intubation in patients who will undergo thyroid surgery.
Difficult airway management remains the leading cause of anaesthesia-related morbidity and mortality. Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a warning sign of difficult airway management. Polysomnography is the gold standard for diagnosis of this syndrome, but the STOP-BANG questionnaire is the preferred screening test. In this study, we wanted to find an answer to the question How successful is the STOP-BANG questionnaire in screening for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) in predicting OSAS, difficult mask and difficult intubation in patients undergoing thoracic surgery?
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the ability of pre-operative ultrasound assessment of neck anatomy in predicting difficult laryngoscopy in obese patients undergoing elective surgery requiring tracheal intubation and comparing it to conventional methods as the Mallampati score in anticipating difficult laryngoscopy.
To predict the majority of Mallampati score for the patients in Qassim region who undergoing Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Surgery.
The aim of this open-label, randomized, 3-parallel arm trial is to compare success of intubation rate at first try between three groups that will be intubated: 1. Conventional intubation with hyperangulated videolaryngoscope (control group), 2. Intubation ProVu TM video stylet combined with hyperangulated videolaryngoscope, 3. Intubation ProVu TM video stylet combined with standard Macintosh laryngoscope.
The undersurface of the disposable blade of the Glidescope will be lubricated by a jelly substance to facilitate its entrance to the mouth without trauma to the soft tissues. In addition the stylet ( Gliderite) shape will be modified to be an obtuse angle. This technique modification will be applied for obese patients with suspected difficult intubation criteria who are scheduled for bariatric surgeries.
The study aims to compare the efficacy of the Ambu AuraGain to that of the Air Q ILA as a conduit for endotracheal intubation assisted by tube exchanger. The comparison will be in terms of total intubation time, success rate of insertion of the tube exchanger as well as endotracheal intubation and complications.
Video laryngoscope has become recommended option during difficult intubation. Guidelines of ASA at 2013 had suggested using video laryngoscope after failure intubation of direct laryngoscope. Varieties of video laryngoscope had been invented with different curves. We call the one which has the same curve of Macintosh laryngoscope as conventional video laryngoscope in this study. Mostly, the way of using conventional video laryngoscope is suggested as Macintosh method. However, with the front positioning camera, Miller method can theoretically improve the glottic opening. We intend to discuss whether using Miller approach with conventional video laryngoscope can improve glottic opening or not.
the aim of this work is to study how this technique will make nasal fiberoptic intubation easier and faster than the usual classic technique
The intubating Laryngeal Tube Suction-Disposable is a new version of the Laryngeal Tube-Suction. It has a ventilator channel with a 13.5mm internal diameter, which enables the passage of an Endotracheal Tube with fiberoptic guidance. This study was designed to assess the Time fiberoptic endotracheal intubation using iLTS-D, in comparison with the and Ambu® AuraGain™ in adult patients.
