Filter by:The use in a combined way of two systems of intubation (Glidescope + aScope) would condition an increase in the success rate of endotracheal intubation maneuver compared to conventional isolated Glidescope use in patients with clinical criteria of difficult airway.
A randomized controlled prospective study of laryngoscopy and intubation success comparing direct laryngoscopy and the McGrath® Mac videolaryngoscope.
The purpose of the study is to compare three supraglottic airway devices (Combitube, Easytube, laryngeal mask airway) to endotracheal intubation in a simulated difficult airway scenario in a pediatric manikin.
Evaluation of LMA Protector
The purpose of this study is to compare three different standard of care methods of double-lumen endobronchial tube (DLT) placement in patients who are scheduled to have thoracic surgery in which lung isolation is required.
The Ambu-Aura GainTM is a new extraglottic airway device which brings together features of both the LMA ProSealTM (high seal cuff, gastric access and bite block - to facilitate ventilation, airway protection and airway obstruction, respectively) and the LMA UniqueTM (single use - prevention of disease transmission). In the following randomized, crossover study, the investigators test the hypothesis that ease of insertion, oropharyngeal leak pressure, fiberoptic position and ease of gastric tube placement differ between the Ambu-Aura GainTM and the LMA SupremeTM in paralyzed, anesthetized patients.
Evaluation of the EzT in comparison with the endotracheal tube (ETT) for its use during general anesthesia.
A randomized controlled prospective study of laryngoscopy and intubation time comparing SensaScope and the McGrath® Series 5 video laryngoscope.
Optimization the cuff pressure of the laryngeal tube (LT) in relation of the mechanical ventilation, and the reduction of potential leakage mucosal trauma. Comparison of the tightness of LT between the filling volume specified by the manufacturer (connectors are color coded syringe and blocker), 60cmH₂O, 50cmH₂O, 40cmH₂Ound 30cmH₂O. The measurement of the leakage occurs in ml / kg body weight.
One-handed E-C clamp mask holding technique, two-handed mask ventilation with jaw thrust, and two-handed mask ventilation with triple airway maneuver are three common airway management maneuvers. Sniffing position may improve ventilation between these three maneuvers. The investigators hypothesize that ventilation efficiency may be different between these three maneuvers whether the patient is in sniffing position or neutral position. The investigators would like to quantify this effect by measuring the expired tidal volume, airway pressure, EtCO2 slope and hemodynamic change between these three maneuvers during anesthesia induction.
