Nasotracheal Tube Passage Through Nasal Cavity Clinical Trial
Official title:
Nasal Cavity Evaluation by CT Scan/ Magnetic Resonance Imaging to Access the Size of Nasotracheal Tube for Nasal Intubation
This trial is planned to estimate the size of nasotracheal tube (NTT) by calculating the diameter of both nasal cavity in radiological images of nose (CT scan/MRI) at the level below the inferior turbinate and floor of nose in coronal planes. Smallest diameter will be considered to calculate the outer diameter of NTT, hence the size .
The planned trial will estimate the size of nasotracheal tube (NTT) by calculating the diameter of both nasal cavity in radiological images of nose (CT scan/MRI) at the level below the inferior turbinate and floor of nose at different levels in coronal planes. Smallest diameter will be considered to calculate the outer diameter of NTT, hence the size. The side of nasotracheal intubation will be decided after view the radiological images and the estimated size of NTT will be used. Finally the ease of intubation and complications will be recorded. ;
