Filter by:The aim of the study is to examine the air dispersion pattern and the environmental influence of open airway suction in general ward setting. Secondly, the study is aimed at identifying a simple & practical enclosure device in general ward. Suction will be performed in manikin in supine lying. Nasopharyngeal suction will be performed by physiotherapist with working experience more than 1 years. Besides, surgical mask & enclosure tent will be adopted as the enclosure barrier device in this study. Research Question 1. To assess the extent of the environmental contamination during coughing and simulated airway suction 2. To measure the air particle count during coughing and simulated open airway suction. 3. To evaluate how effective the enclosure barrier in reducing the air particle dispersion during open airway suction.
The most common adverse event in endoscopic procedures is hypoxia. Different airway devices have been investigated in the literature to prevent hypoxia. This study aimed to compare the efficacy and procedural performance of two different airway (GLT and WNJ) devices in ERCP procedures.
Regurgitation is an adverse event common during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and occurs in 20%-32% of patients experiencing out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). It can impair ventilation, induce aspiration, and decrease survival to hospital discharge. Gastric fluid in the airway obscures the laryngeal view, thereby considerably decreasing the first-pass success of endotracheal intubation (ETI) by paramedics. A human cadaver study reported that ETI outperforms other airway management devices, such as the i-gel, laryngeal mask, and laryngeal tube, in preventing aspiration when regurgitation occurs during CPR. However, ETI is also associated with multiple and prolonged CPR pauses.Compared with the use of supraglottic airway (SGA) devices, ETI results in more hands-off time during CPR. Recent randomised clinical trials have revealed that airway management with an SGA device provides superior outcomes to those of ETI in patients with OHCA. However, ETI remains the preferred management strategy for an airway affected by regurgitation in patients with OHCA. Current guidelines focus on the quality of CPR because it is a key determinant of survival in patients with OHCA. However, evidence regarding the impact of regurgitation during ETI on CPR quality is limited. This manikin simulation study assessed CPR quality during ETI in airways with and without regurgitation.
Comparison of second generation supraglottic airway devices about anesthesiologist, endoscopist and patient, which used for gastrointestinal procedures. The investigators believe that the endoscope will be easier to reach by the part of GLT extending to the esophagus, but the structural stiffness of this part may damage the esophageal mucosa. On the other hand, since the endoscopic canal of the LMA® Gastro ends at the upper end of the esophagus, it may be more difficult to orient the endoscope to the esophagus, but it may be superior in terms of ventilation efficiency. Therefore these two device worth for comparing.
The efficacy of supraglottic airway device use in many surgeries has been shown. Due to concerns such as tracheal blood leakage and vocal cord contamination in nasal septum surgery, there are doubts about the use of laryngeal mask airway among anesthesiologists. The primary purpose of this study is; the aim of this study was to evaluate the tracheal blood leak with a flexible fiberoptic endoscope in patients who underwent nasal septum surgery and continued airway patency via laryngeal mask airway or endotracheal tube. Secondly, oropharyngeal leak pressure, hemodynamic response, airway reflexes (laryngospasm, bronchospasm, cough, desaturation), postoperative nausea, vomiting, sore throat, hoarseness and difficulty in swallowing will be evaluated.
This study seeks to determine if a relationship exists between gastric antrum cross-sectional area measured using ultrasound and BMI in term pregnant women (>37 weeks gestation).
The purpose of the investigator's study is to evaluate the causes of feeding difficulty in infants. New treatments can be possible only if the cause is known. In this study, the investigator plans to evaluate the movement of the muscles in an infant's mouth, throat (pharynx) and food pipe (esophagus) that are responsible for moving the food down into the stomach and that help protect an infants airway.
