Filter by:Recently many kinds of indirect videolaryngoscopes were developed. These videolaryngoscopes provide easier intubation, help intubation difficulty, are used good tool for education. McGrath Videolaryngoscope and Pentax AirwayScope are kinds of these videolaryngoscopes. The purpose of this study is to compare of routine endotracheal intubation with McGrath Videolaryngoscope and Pentax AirwayScope by means of providing better laryngeal view, easier and faster intubation.
Knowing when to liberate critically ill patients from mechanical ventilation (i.e. extubation) is of great importance as both prolonged ventilation and failed extubation are associated with increased morbidity, mortality & costs. The study objective is to improve the safety of extubation by harnessing hidden information contained in the patterns of variation of heart and respiratory rate measured over intervals-in-time.
This study will determine rates of first pass success without hypoxemia in emergency department intubations with and without the use of apneic oxygenation by nasal cannula.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of endotracheal intubation via glidescope videolaryngoscope (GVL) using different curve of stylet in 120 children aged between 1 and 5 year old.
For better view of fiberoptic intubation, the posture of neck is compared between neck flexion and extension.
Oro-tracheal intubation is performed daily in anesthesia and in the ICU. When a patient is intubated, the endotracheal tube must be inserted into the trachea to the right depth. If the tube is not deep Inserted enough there is a risk of accidental extubation and trauma to the vocal cords by the balloon. If the tube is inserted too far there is a risk of selective intubation into the right or left mainstem bronchus, which can lead to contralateral lung atelectasis and hypoxemia. The purpose of this study is to determine whether there is a correlation between the measurement of the airway of an adult population and criteria that would be easily accessible in daily clinical practice: the height of the patient and the size of their feet.
Endotracheal intubation is most commonly taught and performed with the patient supine. Recent literature suggests that elevating the patient's head to a more upright position may decrease peri-intubation complications. However, there is little data on success rates of upright intubation in the emergency department. The goal of this study was to measure the association of head positioning with intubation success rates among emergency medicine residents.
The main objective of this study is to demonstrate that the only administration of L-citrulline, can improve immune functions in critically ill patients at high risk of nosocomial infection.
This study investigates the effects of dexmedetomidine and esmolol given intravenously before intubation on sympathetic response caused by intubation itself. Half the patients will recevice dexmedetomidine and the other half will receive dexmedetomidine. Ischemia modified albumine levels will be measured
This study compares the use of simulation-based just-in-time training to video training in learning neonatal endotracheal intubation. Half of the participants will be trained using simulation-based just-in-time training and the other half using video training. The hypothesis are Primary hypothesis: In the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, use of simulation-based just-in-time training, compared to video training, will increase the rate of successful clinical endotracheal intubation by 20%. Secondary hypotheses: The investigators expect that simulation-based just-in-time training prior to clinical endotracheal intubation will decrease time to successful intubation and rate of endotracheal intubation related adverse events, namely mucosal trauma, oesophageal and endobronchial intubations. In addition, the investigators expect that simulation-based just-in-time training will increase residents' confidence level while performing clinical endotracheal intubation.
