Filter by:The investigators previous study showed that McGrath Series 5 videolaryngoscope is an alternative tool for double-lumen tube intubation. But it is not determined about the advantages and disadvantages of McGrath Series 5 videolaryngoscope for double-lumen tube intubation, compared with traditional Macintosh laryngoscope.
1. Double-lumen tube intubation is difficult, compared with single lume tube. 2. McGrath Series 5 videolaryngoscope hase been used in difficult airway management, both in anesthetized and awake patients. 3. But there was little information about McGrath Series 5 videolaryngoscope for double-lumen tube intubation.
The purpose of this study is to compare intubation with nerve block with intubation with sedation in awake patients in terms of efficacy, ease, and the rate of complications and physician satisfaction
Usually videolaryngoscopy using a videolaryngoscope with a classic Macintosh design is performed with the blade in the vallecula and the epiglottis elevated from the vocal cords indirectly, as in direct laryngoscopy. However, during an audit of videolaryngoscopic practice we noticed that, in obtaining the best view, clinicians frequently and inadvertently advanced the blade into the vallecula to get a better view, such that the epiglottis was downfolded and elevated directly from the vocal cords. However, a better view does not necessarily lead to higher intubation success. In this randomized, controlled trial, we want to determine the efficacy of videolaryngoscope-guided tracheal intubation using an alternative position for the blade in patients with normal airways.
In this randomised crossover trial we measure the space between the right side of the laryngoscope blade and the right palatopharyngeal wall in a cohort of ASA I-III patients with a normal mouth opening. We compare the remaining spaces for seven different videolaryngoscopes and compare these to a classic Macintosh laryngoscope.
In this randomized crossover trial the investigators test whether three different brands of videolaryngoscopes (VLS) exhibit reduced forces on both upper and lower teeth, and compare them with a classic Macintosh laryngoscope blade.
The purpose of this study is to devise repositioning method of a left-sided double lumen tube into left mainstem bronchus in case of misplacement into right mainstem bronchus.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of dexmedetomidine on hemodynamic responses during laryngoscopy and double lumen endotracheal intubation and assess the adverse effect related to complications of dexmedetomidine.
This study is aimed at reducing the risk of hoarseness and damage to the vocal cords following general anaesthesia. Conventional endotracheal intubation with use of a stylet will be compared with the Endoflex tube. A conventional stylet enforced endotracheal tube is dirigible because of the stiffness gained by the addition of a stylet. In high risk rapid sequence intubation settings the enhanced dirigibility can be crucial, which is why most anaesthesiologists choose to add the stylet in these situations. A new endotracheal tube with a dynamic dirigible end called the Endoflex tube might prove to be a good alternative to the conventional stylet enforced endotracheal tube. Study hypothesis: The Endoflex tube will reduce the risk of hoarseness after intubation when compared to the conventional stylet enforced endotracheal tube under optimal intubation conditions.
