Filter by:Tongue edema (TE) is an enlargement of the tongue that can be noticed with the naked eye and protrudes from the mouth. Endotracheal intubation tube, which can exert high pressure on the tongue for a long time, may cause TE. This study was aimed to detect TE, which may develop due to long-term pressure application of the intubation tube to the tongue, in patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit (ICU) who underwent endotracheal intubation by submental ultrasonography (USG) method.
This study will assess the condition of orotracheal intubation in obese patients undergoing an elective bariatric surgery without the use of neuromuscular blocking agents. During the induction of general anesthesia, Propofol - Remifentanil combination will be used. The patients will be randomized in 2 groups with different doses of Remifentanil.
In this single-blind clinical trial study, 70children who are candidates for lower abdominal elective surgery under general anesthesia presented at Imam Hossein Hospital in Isfahan will be included in the study and will be divided into 2 groups. In the first group, ventilation with facial mask and in the second group, ventilation with nasal mask will be done for three minutes. Then the reduction in SPO2 and the impossibility of ventilation of patients will be evaluated and compared between the two groups.
The present study compares two different types of videolaryngoscope blade, which is a channeled and non-channeled blade. The purpose of the study is to investigate the effect of the type of videolaryngoscope blade on the intubation condition.
Every year, in France, nearly 100,000 patients hospitalized in intensive care more than 48 hours require invasive respiratory assistance via an endotracheal tube. Appropriate tube fixation is essential to ensure effective ventilation while minimizing potential complications such as accidental extubations. However, the fixation system chosen may lead to peribuccal lesions such as bedsores, shearing or cutaneous-mucous tear. These lesions are painful for patients and often unsightly as scar may remain. There are no formal recommendations for the use of any type of fixing system. Thus, systems used to secure the endotracheal tube vary from one ICU to another. The objective of this study is to demonstrate that the fixing strategy by elastic adhesive tape reduces the risk of developing a peribuccal lesion during the time of the endotracheal tube's maintenance.
The number of elderly patients above 80 years is increasing and a large proportion of these patients will require surgery and anesthesia. During anesthesia neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBA) are administered to facilitate intubating conditions and reduce the trauma to the larynx and vocal cords. There is a risk of residual neuromuscular block when using NMBAs like rocuronium. The aim of this study is to determine the onset time, duration of action and effect on intubating conditions after rocuronium 0.3 mg/kg and 0.9 mg/kg in patients with age ≥ 80 years.
Various techniques have been developed to get a good LMA position, one of them is using a laryngoscope. The most popular laryngoscope used for LMA installation is the Macintosh type. Technological developments have brought laryngoscopes into the video era, one of which is McGRATH's laryngoscope, which from several studies about having an advantage in terms of the first attempt, time, complications, and hemodynamic stability of intubation. It needs to be proven through research on the comparison of clinical outcomes of LMA installation with McGrath laryngoscope and Macintosh laryngoscope.
Postoperative airway complications associated with endotracheal intubation can be seen. While some of these complications are predictable, some may occur urgently. If the endotracheal cuff is over-inflated and its pressure is high, mucosal damage resulting from mucosal pressure is one of the main factors for tracheal morbidity. Endotracheal tube cuff pressure is not routinely measured. It was confirmed that the palpation of the pilot balloon was insufficient to detect high cuff pressures. In laparoscopic cases, the investigators aimed to investigate whether the increase in intra-abdominal pressure as a result of carbon dioxide insufflation, and the change of respiratory functions after trendelenburg position are effective on cuff pressure and whether there is a difference compared to laparotomic cases.
The safety and efficacy of a laryngoscopy as a primary intubation tool in urgent endotracheal intubation of cardiac arrest patients with suspected/confirmed COVID-19 has not been well-described in the literature. This study will answer whether using a Vie Scope laryngoscope will impact on the efficacy and safety of intubation compared with a traditional direct laryngoscopy.
The number of elderly patients above 80 years is increasing and a large proportion of these patients will require surgery and anesthesia. During anesthesia neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBA) are administered to facilitate intubating conditions and reduce the trauma to the larynx and vocal cords. There is a risk of residual neuromuscular block when using NMBAs like rocuronium. Remifentanil is a fentanyl analogue commonly used for induction since it also facilitates intubation. There is no risk of residual neuromuscular block, nonetheless circulatory side effects have been seen. It is unknown which is superior concerning intubating conditions in elderly patients. Therefore, the aim of this study is to determine the effect on intubating conditions and laryngeal morbidity after either rocuronium 0.6 mg/kg or remifentanil 2 µg/kg in patients with age ≥ 80 years. The hypothesis of this study is that rocuronium 0.6 mg/kg provides a higher proportion with excellent intubating conditions compared to remifentanil 2 µg/kg.
