Filter by:Reusable laryngoscope blades, which are the most commonly used devices for airway management, have been reported to be frequently contaminated and a possible source of infection. Although disposable laryngoscope blades are recommended to reduce the risk of infection, there are studies suggesting increased failed intubation attempt rates. The major cause of anesthesia-related mortality and morbidity is the failure of airway management. The incidence of difficult airway is reported to be 1-4% in normal population while it ranges up to 12-20% in obese patients. Following the introduction of disposable blades and considering the increased rate of failed intubation in obese patients with these devices, the investigators aimed to make a comparison of successful intubation rates of plastic and metallic disposable blades in morbidly obese patients
Video intubating stylet can be safely and effectively used for nasotracheal intubation, but the optimal bending angle is still unknown. In this study, the optimal bending angle will be determined by comparing the intubation time and success rate of nasotracheal intubation with video intubating stylet at two different bending angles.
Pulmonary aspiration during tracheal intubation for anesthesia can cause fatal respiratory complications. Takenaka's study of mannequins reported that the risk of airway contamination by reflux gastric contents could be minimized by applying a 15-degree Trendelenburg position and a Sellick position with neck extention. However, the clinical performance of tracheal intubation in this position has not been studied. Also, the difference between the effects of direct laryngoscope and video laryngoscope on tracheal intubation is not known yet. Therefore, this study aims to compare the intubation time among intubation through direct laryngoscope and video laryngoscope in the Sellick and Trendelenburg position, and intubation in the conventional sniffing position.
Check the condition of intubation with LPEC compared with a sham procedure in the general anesthesia
Randomized clinical trial conducted in pediatric simulators that wishes to compare the success of fiberoptic tracheal intubation using supraglottic device AuraGain compared with fiberoptic tracheal intubation without laryngeal mask, performed by anesthesiologists and anesthesiology residents.
This study aims to evaluate the clinical performance, quality of larynx visualization and difficulty of videolaryngoscopic intubation in patients with a reduced mouth opening (1.0 to 3.0 cm) utilizing the latest generation of GlideScopeTM Spectrum low profile laryngoscopy system.
İntubation of pediatric patients is a challenging problem. Video laryngoscopes increased the intubation success rate. We want to compare different video laryngoscopes in this field.
Precise description of the technique for intubation or laryngeal mask placement during general anesthesia Research on factors that can influence sore throat due to the placement of an endobuccal or endotracheal device during general anesthesia
The purpose of this study is to assess the usefulness of the Thyromental Height Test in prediction of difficult intubation and the utility of double lumen video endotracheal tubes in patients scheduled for elective thoracic procedures.
The aim of this observational study is to explore and compare patients' experiences of asleep and awake fibreoptic intubation using a semi qualitative patient questionnaire. In particular, investigators will investigate the occurrence of negative experiences, such as distress and discomfort.
