Filter by:In prospective, safety-control study; children undergoing laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair using PIRS (Percutaneous Internal Ring Suturing) method will be randomly assigned into four groups. Gr 1: Endotracheal intubation and muscle relaxant, Gr 2: Endotracheal Intubation without muscle relaxant, Gr 3: Proseal Laryngeal Mask Airway without muscle relaxant, Gr 4: Proseal Laryngeal Mask Airway with subparalytic does muscle relaxant. Apart from standard monitorization, all patients' intragastric pressures will also be monitored. Patients' age at presentation, gender, time of surgery, time of anesthesia, intragastric pressure, intraabdominal pressure, intraoperative findings and complications will be noted and compared between groups.
We therefore designed this randomized crossover study to compare C-MAC with Macintosh laryngoscope in emergency intubation performed by paramedics according to three different intubator positions.
Endotracheal intubation is usually required to allow unrestricted surgical approach. The Macintosh laryngoscope is the standard method. However in certain situations as difficult airway this technique is ineffective and poorly tolerated by the patient. Fiberoptic intubation is the gold standard in this scenario, however sometimes it is not possible due to failure or unavailability, so alternatives are needed. The TotalTrack (MedComflow SA, Barcelona, Spain) has been designed specifically for the airway management. However, despite its use in clinical practice, there are no comparative studies regarding direct laryngoscopy

This pre-and post-intervention study enrolled adult Intensive Care Unit(ICU) patients (≥50 years) successfully extubated after ≥48 hours endotracheal intubation and without preexisting neuromuscular disease or swallowing dysfunction. All participants received by a trained nurse-administered, hospital-based (up to 14 days) Swallowing and Oral Care(SOC) intervention comprising toothbrushing/salivary gland massage, oral motor exercise, and advice on safe-swallowing strategies. All participants' daily intake status (21 days) and oral health status, oral sensation(stereognosis, light touch and two-point discrimination), tongue and lip strength, salivary secretion, body weight) were assessed at 2, 7, 14 days post-extubation by a blinded research nurse. Feasibility was evaluated as time spent providing SOC, patients adherence to SOC components, and adverse event(i.e., coughing, wet voice, or decreased oxygen saturation) during SOC intervention.
Double lumen tube (DLT) is an enotracheal tube that facilitates one lung ventilation. The DLT exact position in the airways is verified by fiber-optic bronchoscopy (FOB) after intubation. The VivaSight TM DL is a single use left DLT with a camera embedded in the tube's right side port. This study was designed to compare the VivaSightTM DL to the standard DLT.
1. Airway length from the medial incisor to carina is divided into four segments ; the length from medial incisor to mouth angle, mouth angle to epiglottis, epiglottis to vocal cords and vocal cords to carina. 2. Determining the mean length of each segments with the direct laryngoscope, videolaryngoscope and fiberoptic bronchoscope at the time of endotracheal intubation. 3. Making a new formula to determine the proper individualized depth of intubation on the basis of the length of segments 4. Virtual experiment : comparing the new formula with conventional method of determining the depth of endotracheal intubation
This study is designed to identify patients' features predictive of successful intubation using the Bonfils fiberscope. Our hypothesis is that some patients' characteristics are predictors of successful intubation with the Bonfils fiberscope.
Endotracheal intubation is the translaryngeal placement of a tube into the trachea via the nose or mouth. Endotracheal tubes must be securely fixed to prevent movement, which may result in accidental slippage of the tube into a mainstream bronchus or into the pharynx. Hollister Incorporated is assessing the functionality and performance of an endotracheal tube securement device.
Patients presenting for elective surgery will be randomized to having the breathing tube inserted partly into the throat prior to GlideScope insertion, or having it inserted fully after GlideScope insertion.
