In more than one-in-five cases of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, airways are blocked by vomit and blood. Sometimes, paramedics cannot clear the airway using methods they have been taught. If the airway cannot be cleared, the patient will die. Usually, these patients will have a breathing tube placed into their windpipe (intubation), as this provides protection from vomit and blood. To do this, the paramedic needs to be able to see the entrance to the windpipe. A new method of clearing the airway called SALAD has been used in patients to help insert a breathing tube, but it is not known whether the method can help paramedics. This study will use a manikin to see if paramedics can insert a breathing tube more often on their first attempt, using SALAD.
The investigators intended to evaluate first success rate and learning curve of trainee anesthetists performing direct and videolaryngoscopy in pediatric airway management.
This study evaluates the efficiency of awake naso-tracheal intubation and patient satisfaction when using a small diameter flexible nasolaryngoscope together with topical anaesthesia and light sedation with a combination of benzodiazepine and fentanyl. The selected patients will have difficult airway access because of obstructing oro- and hypo-pharynx tumours.
This study evaluates the endotracheal tube cuff pressure of a taper-guard cuffed tube during tympanoplasty with ipsilateral rotation of head, compared to the contralateral rotation of head. The investigators will performed the ipsilateral rotation of head against the fixed tube in half of participants or the contralateral rotation of head in the other half.
prospective randomised trial to compare the teaching effect for tracheal intubation following training with McGrath video laryngoscope as direct laryngoscope versus training with McGrath video laryngoscope as video laryngoscope
The study compares the LMA Supreme™ versus the Spritztube® tracheal cannula in anesthetized adult patients. The current randomized study is designed to assess the success placement of blind insertion using LMA Supreme™ , in comparison with the Spritztube® tracheal cannula. In addition, time, number of attempts, easy insertion and the number of complications at insertion and removal will be assessed. The investigators hypothesize that the LMA Supreme™ versus the Spritztube® tracheal cannula will similarly perform during anesthetized adult patients despite differences in their structural design.
The Articulating Oral Airway (AOA) is a novel oral airway which actively displaces the tongue, allowing for a greater cross-sectional area for mask ventilation. The investigators hypothesize that, in patients with predictors for difficult mask ventilation, the AOA will be non-inferior to the Geudel oral airway in terms of expired tidal volumes.
The study aims to establish which of the two second generation Supraglottic Airway Devices, the I-gel or the the laryngeal ask airway (LMA) Protector, is best suited to be used as a conduit to fibreoptic bronchoscope assisted tracheal intubation. The primary outcome of this will be the time to complete the tracheal intubation.
The intubating laryngeal mask Fastrach™ is considered a gold standard for blind intubation as well as for fibreoptic guided intubation via a laryngeal mask. Recently, a single use version of the mask has been introduced. The Fastrach single use laryngeal mask is beng compared to the new, low-priced single use intubating laryngeal mask Ambu Aura-i™.
