Filter by:This study is prospective randomized trial study. "O" type tracheal intubation tube is anatomically consistent and will able to increase the success rate of first intubation without any other external help.
This study was conducted on neonates needing intubation; Group A,: the ETT insertion depth was estimated according to the OHL method. Group B,: the ETT insertion depth was estimated according to the 7-8-9 method.
The "sniffing position" is widely accepted as a favorable position for direct laryngoscopy (DL) in both pediatric and adult patients. External anatomical markers are well documented to confirm proper 'sniffing position' in adults, but data on their use in the pediatric population is sparse. The investigators propose to define these markers in young children and investigate whether patients positioned using this standardized approach have better intubating conditions than those positioned randomly per the preference of the anesthesiologist.
To analyze the intubation with severe covid-19 pneumonia, the infection rate of anesthesiologist after intubation, and summarizes the experience of how to avoid the infection of anesthesiologist and ensure the safety of patients with severe covid-19 pneumonia.
Achieving the optimal sedation level for patient management is not always possible using our standard intravenous medications in Pre-hospital Emergency medicine. Inhaled sedation is possible with the Anesthetic-conserving device with a standard respirator. The pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of halogenated agents allow deep sedation quickly after absorption. The feasibility of inhaled sedation has never been studied in hospital.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has proposed the use of 80% high-dose inhalation oxygen (FiO2) during surgery to reduce postoperative infection in adult patients undergoing general anesthesia. However, high-dose inhaled oxygen increases the risk of oxygen toxicity by increasing reactive oxygen species, and according to a recent research, hyperoxia in the ICU is one of the causes of mortality. In patients with general anesthesia requiring intubation, high-dose inhaled oxygen was associated with postoperative pulmonary complications in a dose-proportional manner and was significantly associated with mortality within 30 days after surgery. Therefore, it is necessary to study the optimum oxygen concentration during surgery to reduce postoperative pulmonary complications in general anesthesia patients who require intubation. Esophagectomy for esophageal cancer still has higher morbidity and mortality rates than other common procedures. There are several factors such as aneurysmal leakage, esophageal substitute necrosis, cardiac complications, and pulmonary complications. Pulmonary complications have been reported to be a very important factor. Therefore, various methods have been proposed to reduce pulmonary complications after esophageal cancer surgery. One of them is minimally invasive surgery. However, even in the case of a thoracoscopic operation using a robot, one lung ventilation is inevitable for securing the visual field during surgery, and hypoxia and hyperoxia are known to be associated with postoperative acute lung injury. Therefore, in order to reduce postoperative pulmonary complications in the esophagectomy using robots, it is necessary to study the optimum oxygen concentration during surgery. The recently developed oxygen reserve index (ORI) uses a non-invasive sensor attached to the finger, similar to pulse oximetry, to detect persistent hyperoxia of more than 100 mmHg and less than 200 mmHg. Therefore, if the oxygen reserve index is used for robotic esophagectomy, which requires one lung ventilation, the degree of oxygenation of the patient can be monitored continuously and accurately. The authors will measure the oxygen reserve index in robotic esophagectomy, and analyze the correlation between oxygen reserve index and postoperative pulmonary complications. Furthermore, the cut-off value of the oxygen reserve index, which can reduce pulmonary complications, will be calculated.
This study is aimed to provide the evidence that ultrasound-guided identification of the cricoid cartilage can improve effectiveness of cricoid pressure. Ultrasound (US) is well recognized as a technique for identifying the neck landmarks including the cricoid cartilage. Based on the potential results that may show that US could be a tool for improve the effectiveness of cricoid pressure, the investigators expect to disseminate this knowledge to be transformed in the standard technique for helping anesthesiologists and nurses to do pressure in the correct location. It is expected that the greatest impact of this study will lead to improved patient outcomes and safety, particularly in the ones with high-risk for aspiration.
Virtual experiment : comparing the new method with conventional method of determining the depth of endotracheal intubation.
We, therefore conducted a randomized cross over study to evaluate the usefulness of this new device use by experienced anesthesiologists in several airway manikin scenarios. We hypothesized that in the hands of experienced anesthesiologists the new Flexible Tip Bougie catheter would perform comparably to the standard bougie catheter) in the normal airway scenario. In the difficult airway (both tongue edema, manual in-line stabilization, or cervical collar stabilization), we hypothesized that the new Flexible Tip Bougie catheter would prove superior to the standard Bougie stylet.
This RCT is testing the efficacy of apneic oxygenation during endotracheal intubation in the emergency department. Currently the standard practice in the ED when performing endotracheal intubation is that some providers use apneic oxygenation (the application of a nasal cannula at 15LPM) throughout the intubation procedure, while others do not apply apneic oxygenation. Initial literature in the operating room showed that apneic oxygenation helps prevent desaturation during the procedure. However, the latest literature conducted in critical care settings (one study in the ICU and one in the ED) questions the efficacy of this intervention in critically ill patients; however, no harm has been shown. Our study aims to test this intervention further by adding in a special subset of patients that was excluded from prior studies, precipitous intubations, or those patients that have to be intubated quickly and cannot have adequate pre-oxygenation. We hypothesize that apneic oxygenation will be more efficacious in this subset than in the overall ED population. We will randomize patients requiring endotracheal intubation into intervention (apneic oxygenation) and control (no apneic oxygenation). We will measure the lowest arterial oxygen saturation from the start of the intubation procedure through 2 minutes after intubation is complete.
