Filter by:The objective of this study was to investigate the application of new oropharyngeal airway management in patients undergoing painless gastroenteroscopy.To see if it can really solve the problem of airway obstruction during anesthesia.The incidence of hypoxia (Spo2<90%, t>10s) and severe hypoxia (Spo2<85%) during anesthesia and sedation, as well as the incidence of cough and laryngeal spasm, as well as the dose, endoscopist satisfaction, and the incidence of various adverse events were observed.To accumulate clinical experience and reference of anesthesia in obese patients.
Supraglottic airway devices (SAD) provide ventilation of patients requiring respiratory support without tracheal intubation. Therefore, SAD is used to maintain airway during anesthesia in surgeries that do not require intubation. The classical laryngeal mask (cLMA, Intavent Direct, Maidenhead, UK) is an SAD that is available as a more advanced airway method than mask ventilation and a less invasive method than endotracheal intubation. It is used by placing it over the glottis at the level of the larynx and inflating the cuff. The Proseal laryngeal mask (LMA-Proseal™, PLMA, Intavent Orthofix, Maidenhead, UK) is the first supraglottic airway device that is suitable for reuse and includes a gastric drainage channel. I-gel™ (Intersurgical Ltd, Wokingham, UK) is a second-generation laryngeal mask with a soft, gel-like thermoplastic elastomer distal end and no inflatable cuff, designed not to compress the anatomical structures of the larynx and pharynx. Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS)-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) has become one of the most important invasive diagnostic procedures for pulmonologists and thoracic surgeons. It is a safe and effective technique for sampling hilar and mediastinal lymph nodes and masses. It is currently accepted as the first choice for histological sampling of the mediastinum in lung cancer staging. The use of SAD to secure the airway in patients undergoing EBUS-TBNA has the advantages of being less invasive than endotracheal intubation and providing better surgical field access. Classical LMA, proseal LMA and I-gel are routinely used airway methods during EBUS-TBNA procedure. The aim of this study is to compare the routinely used SADs in anesthesia management in patients undergoing endobronchial ultrasonography-guided transbronchial needle aspiration in terms of intraoperative efficacy and postoperative complications.
test persons, anaesthesiologists will identify the cricothyroid membrane on a silicone model of the neck with either palpation or ultrasonography. The ultrasonographic method to be used is the Thyroid-Airline-Cricoid-Airline (TACA) approach. The larynx-model is deviated to one of the sides to simulate a patient with neck pathology

Introduction Endoracheal intubation (ETI) is a crucial but risky procedure, especially among patients with suspected difficult endotracheal intubation (DTI). Bronchoscopy, as an improved technique commonly used in DTI, might encounters the difficulties of visualization. The magnetic point-of-care ultrasound (MGPOCUS) not only provide an novel visualization from outside, but also enable the estimation of relative position and trajectory of bronchoscopy. The study aims to evaluate the efficiency of MGPOCUS assisted bronchoscopy in time taken to the first-attempt success, the first-attempt and overall success of ETI, complications and satisfaction of visualization among patients suspected with DTI. Methods and analysis The current study is a randomized, parallel-group, single-blinded, single-center study. Participants (n=350) will be recruited by primary anesthesiologist and randomized to groups of ETI with bronchoscopy or MGPOCUS assisted bronchoscopy. The primary outcome is time taken to the first-attempt success ETI. Secondary outcomes include procedure time, the first-attempt and overall success, complications and satisfaction of visualization. Cox regression with the Bonferroni correction and the linear mixed regression will be used to analysis the outcomes.
Nasotracheal intubation (NTI) has become the most optimal alternative to oral endotracheal intubation for oro-maxillofacial surgery because it can offer an excellent vision field of the mouth. Additional benefits include milder oropharynx stimulation, less airway secretions, and better tolerance for long term endotracheal intubation maintenance. Traditional NTI is performed under the guidance of indirect laryngoscope, which is often accompanied by longer maneuver time and adverse complications such as trauma and bleeding. The development of various visualization tools such as video laryngoscope, video fiberoptic scope and video rigid laryngoscope has greatly improved NTI. However, there is no consensus on which one is the best adjunctive device for NTI. Therefore, a study on a comparison of the clinical efficacy of the above three video scope guided methods for NTI will be conducted.
This study compares the actual standard of care of intubation in Swiss pediatric intensive care units vs the use of apneic oxygenation using either high flow or low flow oxygen to prevent hypoxemia and to prolong apnea time during intubation of critically ill children, with the final aim to improve airway management safety at PICUs. Primary study objective: To demonstrate that airway management supported by oxygen supplementation (either HFNC or low flow oxygen) can prevent significant desaturation (SpO2 > 85%) among patients in pediatric intensive care units (PICU) and neonatal intensive care units (NICU).
Video games are activities that require actively hand-eye coordination and where 3D thinking is at the forefront. During the teaching of both laparoscopic surgery and robotic surgery techniques, it was revealed by the studies that the participants who played video games completed the trainings more easily and the success rate increased. In a study comparing fiberoptic intubation success, anesthesia assistants playing video games had higher successful intubation rates and shorter intubation times in the first attempt. Video stylets are newly developed devices that allow the use of video technology in airway management. It has a camera at the end and a monitor to which the image is transferred. By transferring the real-time view of the airway structures, tracheal intubation increases the success rate and shortens the intubation time. In order to determine whether video game playing has positive effects on videostylet use,ıt was aimed to compare the performances of the assistants who did play with the video game assistants.
In this self-control experiment, anesthesiologists without experiment of bronchoscopy working in anesthesiology department in Peking Union Medical College Hospital will receive a training and evaluation procedure in simulation and clinical practice about clinical airway management. The objects was (1) to investigate the improvements of manufacturing bronchoscopy in simulation and clinical practice before and after training on simulation, (2) to record the study curve and efforts trainees needed to achieve proficiency and self-confidence on simulation, (3) to record the curve of manufacturing from skilled to unskilled, (4)to evaluate if status manufacturing on simulations could reflect the ones in clinical practice.
