NCT ID: NCT03118596 Completed - Airway Management Clinical Trials

Fibre-optic Guided Tracheal Intubation Through SADs

Start date: May 24, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

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.

NCT ID: NCT03109678 Completed - Airway Management Clinical Trials

A Comparison of the Intubating Laryngeal Mask FASTRACH™ and the Intubating Laryngeal Mask Ambu Aura-i™

Start date: July 12, 2011
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

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™.

NCT ID: NCT03067246 Completed - Airway Management Clinical Trials

A Comparison of the VBM Intubating Laryngeal Tube and the I-Gel

Start date: January 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

A study comparing two second generation supraglottic Airway devices, the VBM intubating laryngeal tube and the I-Gel.

NCT ID: NCT03033979 Completed - Airway Management Clinical Trials

Prolonged Laryngeal Mask Airway ProSealTM Use

Start date: January 1, 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

The investigators conclude that use of the LMA ProSealTM for prolonged procedures is feasible. In principle, it should be safer and more effective than the LMA ClassicTM provided basic guidelines are followed.

NCT ID: NCT03002857 Completed - Airway Management Clinical Trials

Comparison of I-gel LMA, Classical LMA With a New Supraglottic Airway the Baska Mask® in Urological Surgery

BCIM
Start date: September 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The most used airway management strategies are different types of supraglottic airway devices (SAD) for transurethral resection of bladder and ureteroscopy in urological surgery . Classical laryngeal mask airway (LMA-C) and I-Gel SADs are being used already. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the performance of a new type of SAD the Baska Mask® with I-gel and LMA-C regarding their insertion times, durations, perioperative complications and effects on hemodynamic parameters, peak airway pressures (Paw) and airway plato pressures in urological surgery as well.

NCT ID: NCT02988336 Completed - Airway Management Clinical Trials

TMHT - New Method of Difficult Intubation Prediction

Start date: September 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

The purpose of this study is to assess the usefulness of the Thyromental Height Test in prediction of difficult intubation using double lumen endotracheal tubes in patients scheduled for elective thoracic procedures.

NCT ID: NCT02957084 Completed - Airway Management Clinical Trials

Anatomic Features of the Neck and Preoperative Tests as Predictive Markers of Difficult Laryngoscopy

Start date: March 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

In this prospective, open cohort study the diagnostic value of tests based on neck anatomy in predicting difficult laryngoscopy was assessed. The anatomic features of the neck measured were head extension, mouth opening, upper lip bite, Mallampati class, thyromental distance, sternomental distance, ratio of height to thyromental, neck circumference, thyrosternal distance, hyomental distance at full head extension (FHE) and at neutral position (NP), ratio of neck circumference to thyromental distance and ratio of hyomental distance FHE to hyomental distance NP.

NCT ID: NCT02920879 Not yet recruiting - Airway Management Clinical Trials

Airway Effects of PEEP During Anesthesia Induction.

Start date: October 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study investigates airway effects of PEEP during maskventilation at anesthesia induction. Four patient groups will be ventilated with different PEEP and driving pressures to evaluate time to open airway after start of positive pressure maskventilation during anesthesia induction.

NCT ID: NCT02897518 Completed - Airway Management Clinical Trials

Videolaryngoscopes for Tracheal Intubation

Start date: January 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The primary end point of this study is the feasibility of intubation. The secondary end-points are the success to intubate in the first attempt, the intubation time, the Cormack and Lehane score view, the comparison of the intubation difficulty scale (IDS) score and the need for maneuvers to aid the endotracheal intubation comparing Imago V-Blade ® and Glidescope®. Patients admit to the operation rooms of University of Naples "Federico II" and requiring endotracheal intubation for general anesthesia will be consecutively screened for the presence of predicted difficult airway according Italian guideline. According to this guideline, the presence of one or more of the following parameters may be considered highly predictive of difficult intubation: Mallampati class 3-4, inter-incisor distance < 30 mm, mental-thyroidal distance < 60 mm, large prominence of superior incisors above inferior incisors uncorrectable with jaw-thrust, reduced head and neck motility, and reduced mental-jugular distance. Patients matching more then 1 of the previous criteria stated by Italian guideline will be included in this case controlled study. Patients 1) without criteria for predicted difficult airway; 2) those requiring emergency surgery; 3) aged < 18 years; or 4) declined consent to participate, will be excluded from this study.The primary end-point was the comparison of the intubation difficulty scale (IDS) score. The secondary end-points were the learning curve, the intubation time, the Cormack and Lehane score view, and the need for maneuvers to aid the endotracheal intubation comparing different videolaryngoscopes available in our department. Two anesthesiologists with 10 years of experience in conventional endotracheal intubation and trained for video assisted intubation will perform the maneuvers.

NCT ID: NCT02850887 Completed - Airway Management Clinical Trials

Patient Positioning and Airway Management During ERCP

Start date: July 25, 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of airway management (a set of medical procedures performed to prevent airway blockage and thus ensure an open path between a patient's lungs and the atmosphere) during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography [(ERCP), a procedure commonly used to treat conditions of the bile ducts and pancreas] and the effect on airway complications (problems), time to biliary cannulation (access into bile duct) and total procedure duration (length of time). Two methods are being compared and studied: 1) general endotracheal anesthesia: an inhalation anesthetic (substance that blocks pain) technique in which anesthetic and respiratory gases pass through a tube placed in the trachea (throat) via the mouth or nose vs 2) deep sedation without endotracheal intubation: local anesthesia together with sedation (drug that produces sleep) and analgesia (drug that treats pain) only.
