Filter by:Design: Nasotracheal intubation is a standard blind procedure associated with various complications. Selection of the appropriate nostril is crucial in preventing most of these complications. The investigators aimed to evaluate the contribution of CBCT findings in selecting the proper nostril for nasotracheal intubation. Methods: This prospective observational study outlines the protocol for research conducted at the Selçuk University Faculty of Dentistry. Scope of the Research: The study encompasses patients undergoing dental surgery under general anesthesia at the Selçuk University Faculty of Dentistry. 1. Participant Selection: ASA I-II patients will be included in the study. Patients with structural abnormalities in the maxillo-mandibular anatomy, limited mouth opening, comorbidities such as rheumatoid arthritis, and a history of epistaxis will be excluded from the study. 2. Anesthesia Method: General anesthesia induction will be performed with intravenous (IV) propofol, IV rocuronium bromide, and IV fentanyl. Transition to nasotracheal intubation will follow adequate mask ventilation, and the preferred nostril will be determined through a simple occlusion test. 3. Data Collection: Demographic data, accompanying illnesses, medications used, and various parameters related to nasotracheal intubation will be recorded. The anesthetist performing nasotracheal intubation will be blinded to CBCT data, and the evaluation of data will be conducted jointly by the anesthetist and Radiology specialist after data collection from all patients is complete. 4. Exclusion Criteria: Unsuccessful nasotracheal intubation, difficult mask, and/or difficult intubation. 5. Implementation and Evaluation: Anesthesia procedures and CBCT evaluations will be carried out by experienced specialists. 6. The objective of this study is to evaluate the use of preoperative measurements of the nasal cavity from CBCT images in selecting the appropriate nostril for nasotracheal intubation under general anesthesia. The statistical tests to be employed are the chi-squared test and independent samples t-test.
Comparing hemodynamic changes with morphine versus esmolol as an adjuvant agent during induction of Anaesthesia
The aim of this study is to review/identify the existing definition and management strategies for a physiologically difficult airway (PDA), to generate expert consensus on the various aspects of managing a patient with a PDA using the Delphi method, and to provide guidance to clinicians worldwide on safe tracheal intubation practices in patients with PDA to help improve patient outcomes.
During induction of general anaesthesia physiological breathing stops and needs to be artificially established with facemask ventilation, and finally tracheal intubation or placement of a supraglottic airway. During the airway management, when lungs are not or only poorly ventilated, there is a risk for atelectasis. These atelectasis can contribute to respiratory adverse events (e.g. pulmonary infection or respiratory insufficiency) during or after general anaesthesia. High-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) is the administration of heated, humidified and blended air/oxygen mixture via a nasal cannula at rates ≥ 2 L/kg/min. HFNO used during airway management (i.e. intubation) can extend the tolerance for apnea, the time from end of physiological breathing until artificial ventilation is established. The main objective of this study is thus to investigate the variations of poorly ventilated lung units (i.e., silent spaces) as a surrogate for functional residual capacity measured by electrical impedance tomography to dynamically assess atelectasis formation and regression under apnoeic oxygenation with different flow rates.
Using a new device, the TrachFlush, the aim of this pilot study is to investigate whether secretions can be removed at the patient's current ventilator settings, or whether pressures and durations considered at the maximal end of clinical practice are required, so as to push secretions around the cuff. The study is a pilot study to investigate the settings required to ensure clinical efficacy of the technology, prior to large scale clinical studies.
New pain assessment parameter, called the Variation Coefficient of Pupillary Diameter (VCPD) described. This parameter allows evaluating the pain of patients during uterine contractions in obstetrical labor, and postoperatively in recovery room. This parameter also allows evaluating the level of pain in Intensive Care Unit (ICU), in intubated or tracheotomized patients moderately sedated (Riker score 3 or 4).
a randomized, parallel, non-blinded trial in a single Emergency Mdeical Service in Poland within a group of 34 ground ambulances crews, comparing time and first pass success (FPS) for endotracheal intubation (ETI) in DL using the IntuBrite® (INT) and Macintosh laryngoscope (MCL) during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). intubations will be performed using INT and MCL based on an intention-to-treat analysis. The FPS time of the ETI attempt will be analysed. First attempt success will be counted.
Macintosh laryngoscope is still considered a standard for tracheal intubation, however, visualization of the glottis may be inadequate mainly in morbidly obese patients. The Vie Scope is a novel type of laryngoscope consisting of a straight, shielded, illuminated tube that offers intubation via a bougie using the paraglossal technique. In this prospective, non-randomized study, we tested the research hypothesis that the use of Vie Scope may improve visualization of the larynx in comparison with the Macintosh blade.
The purpose of the study is to test a novel endotracheal tube support device that reduces pressure of the tube on the voice box for prevention of post intubation laryngeal symptoms including sore throat, change in voice and trouble swallowing.
In a non-randomized, controlled, cross-over simulation study, the investigators evaluated and compared intubation performance of trained operators, using either a conventional laryngoscope in an ice-pick position or a video laryngoscope in a free-floating classic position, in weightlessness and in normogravity. Data were analyzed with the generalized linear mixed-effects models. Primary endpoint was the success rate of tracheal intubation. Time to intubation and the confidence score into the success of tube placement were also recorded as secondary endpoints.
