Filter by:Multicenter double blind randomized controlled trial comparing "atropine+propofol" vs "atropine+atracurium+sufentanil" as a premedication prior to endotracheal intubation of the neonate. Primary outcome: pulse oxymetry value < 80% for more than 60 seconds. Secondary outcomes: number of attempts, duration of the procedure, changes in physiologic parameters, short- and long-term neurodevelopmental outcome. Hypothesis: "atropine + propofol" compared to "atropine+atracurium+sufentanil" will significantly reduce the frequency of severe hypoxemia.
This is a prospective randomized clinical study to be performed in pediatric patients under the age of 2 years who are undergoing surgical procedures requiring endotracheal intubation. Time to endotracheal intubation will be compared between patients intubated using a GlideScope® video laryngoscope, those intubated with a Storz DCI® video laryngoscope, and those intubated by standard direct laryngoscopy. The study hypothesis is that the time to endotracheal intubation will be decreased in the Storz DCI® video laryngoscope group when compared to the GlideScope® video laryngoscope group and standard laryngoscopy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a disposable fiberscope (Ambu ® aScope®) for tracheal intubation in difficult airways due to cervical immobilization by a cervical collar, and compare it to a conventional reusable fiberscope.
This study is designed to determine whether a functional difference exists between the laryngeal mask airway (LMA)-Classic™ and i-gel in anesthetized children who have received neuromuscular blockade.
Airway management is one of the most important tasks facing the physician, especially the anesthesiologist. Fast and correct performance of endotracheal intubations done as normal routine in the operating room, but can save life everywhere. To make intubation easier, several newly designed tubes and laryngoscopes are developed and tested every year. Their performance is evaluated subjectively by the acting anesthesiologist, and by using objective parameters such as speed of intubation, the force applied during latyngoscopy , or catecholeamines secretion during intubation as a stress parameter . The studies set for testing these parameters lead to establish accepted indications for the treatment of the airway in cases of anticipated and unanticipated difficult airway. In the present study we will compare the performance parameters of intubation using Etview Tracheoscopic Ventilation Tube - TVT to the standard tube, of which most of daily intubations are carried with. The Etview TVT is similar to the standard endotracheal tube; its outer dimensions and material is exactly as the standard tube, the difference is only the inner fiber of the camera.
The investigators will compare the success rates of endotracheal intubation in a simulated entrapped car accident victim (manikin) using different video laryngoscopes by experienced emergency physicians. The investigators hypothesized that video laryngoscopes may improve success rates.
The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of using dexmedetomidine (Precedex) in addition to the current standard-of-care for sedation.
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of Endotrol Tube compared to the conventional endotracheal tube in conjunction with the GlideRite stylet (Verathon Medical Inc, USA) during videolaryngoscopy assisted endotracheal intubation using a McGrath (Aircraft Medical Ltd., and distributed in the US by LMA North America, Inc.) video laryngoscope or a GlideScope (Verathon Medical Inc, USA). The investigators hypothesize that using the Endotrol tracheal tube, (Covidien, Colorado, USA) is safer and more efficacious than using the conventional endotracheal tube during McGrath video laryngoscope and/or GlideScope aided endotracheal intubation.
Patients presenting for elective surgery requiring tracheal intubation will be randomized to one of two different endotracheal tubes (ETT).
Patients undergoing surgery or intensive care management often require a tube to be inserted into the trachea allowing lung ventilation. Usually a laryngoscope is used to allow visualisation of the larynx and facilitate intubation. During direct laryngoscopy, the blade of the laryngoscope is inserted into the patient's mouth and the structures pulled upwards out of the line of vision. If visualisation is difficult, users often exert excess force on the tissues to obtain an adequate view. Generally the applied force is evaluated by the patient's stress response such as increased heart rate, blood pressure or plasma cortisol levels. These changes, while important, may be confounded by a variety of patient factors, as well as anaesthesia. An increased force may also be associated with tissue trauma, dental damage, and prolonged attempts. The investigators' objective is to compare the force exerted on patient's tissues by the Macintosh laryngoscope and GlideScope video-laryngoscope. Video-laryngoscopes may be associated with the application of reduced force to the soft tissues of patients during intubation. While this is a common contention, it has not been proven. The GlideScope has a micro camera in the distal portion of the blade meaning a direct line of vision is not required. An adequate view can therefore be obtained with less displacement of tongue tissue. If the force exerted by the video laryngoscope is less, this would have beneficial implications by reducing stress response, neck movement, and trauma.
