Filter by:The airway management is essential in the Critical Care setting, both normal and difficult airway patients. Intubation is a risk procedure in which a great number of complications may occur, including death. The poor physiological reserve of critical patients may suppose an additional handicap to carry out successfully intubation. The purpose of this study is to analyze the prevalence and risk factors for major complications in the intubation process in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). In addition, the investigators will assess the impact of preoxygenation and the use of videolaryngoscope on the occurrence of major and minor complications. Finally, this study will review the drug protocols used in each participant ICU during intubation process.
Nasotracheal intubation is indicated in patients undergoing oral, maxillofacial, or dental procedures. During nasal intubation with the traditional Macintosh laryngoscope, use of Magill's forceps or external laryngeal manipulation is usually required to facilitate intubation. The prolonged or multiple intubation attempts and, subsequently, may be associated with complications such as oxygen desaturation or airway and dental injuries. The C-MAC videolaryngoscope (Karl Storz, Tuttlingen, Germany) is a videolaryngoscope using a modified Macintosh blade, which may be a useful alternative both for routine and difficult airway management and for educational purposes. In this prospective, randomized, controlled trial, the purpose is to compare C-MAC and DL in terms of intubation times, hemodynamic response and adverse events associated with nasotracheal intubation in children undergoing dental procedures.
In recent decades, numerous videolaryngoscopes have been introduced to facilitate tracheal intubation. However, it remains unclear whether videolaryngoscope will increase the successful tracheal intubation compared with usual Macintosch laryngoscope. Therefore, this pilot study is a randomized controlled trial designed to compare the first-pass intubation success of the Airtraq laryngoscope versus the Macintosh direct laryngoscope in patients requiring general anesthesia for elective operation, with the aims to examine the feasibility of a large multicentre effectiveness trial by assessing recruitment targets, testing the data completeness, and local incidence of first-pass intubation success.
Lung Ultrasonography (US) has been shown to be effective for verifying endotracheal tube (ETT) position in adults and children but has been less studied in neonates. The aim of this study is to evaluate the performance of lung US in determining correct ETT position in neonates, in comparison with X Ray
The purpose of the study is to compare first attempt success rates and time until intubation to establish the learning curves of the participating anaesthesiologists with two different intubation strategies: (Karl Storz C-MAC VS (Video Stylet) and the standard flexible intubation video endoscope at the study site.
The aim of this study is to demonstrate the effect of C-Mac videolaryngoscopy with Miller Blade size 0 and 1 on the intubation conditions in children less than 2 years age with a roll inserted under the shoulders.
KoMAC videolaryngoscope is a portable intubating device with an angulated single-use blade of adjustable size and a liquid crystal display monitor mounted on top of the handle, which is similar in shape to the McGrath videolaryngoscope. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the KoMAC videolaryngoscope for double-lumen intubation regarding intubation time, laryngeal view and ease of intubation, compared to Macintosh laryngoscope.
The purpose of this study is to assess the usefulness of the Thyromental Height Test in prediction of difficult intubation using videolaryngoscopy and double lumen endotracheal tubes in patients scheduled for elective thoracic procedures.
Differences in nasotracheal intubation pathway anatomy will be observed between healthy patients and patients with maxillary retrusion. The results will clarify the nasotracheal intubation tube preference for these patients.
This study aims... - To assess the difference in intubation difficulty scale (IDS) score following ETT placement using McGrath MAC® video laryngoscope versus conventional intubation with Macintosh laryngoscope for bariatric surgery patients - To assess the difference in hemodynamic stimulation (airway manipulation) events in both groups - To assess the overall difference of the duration (seconds) of ETT placement between both groups - To assess the difference of the duration (seconds) of ETT placement during every attempt (maximum of three attempts) between both groups. - To assess the difference of STOP BANG score between both groups - To assess the number of intubation attempts between both groups
