Filter by:Endotracheal Intubation (EI) is performed in order to monitor the effectiveness of anesthesia and to control the patient's breathing during the surgery under general anesthesia. In EI, which is an invasive procedure, damage to the larynx and trachea may occur during the placement of the endotracheal tube or due to long-term use. Complications such as postintubation ulcer, laryngeal nerve paresis, arytenoid dislocation may develop in the early period due to EI, and patients may have complaints such as sore throat, swallowing problems, hoarseness, and cough in the postoperative period. This affects the comfort of the patients in the postoperative period. For this reason, it is important to prevent intubation-related symptoms of patients who will undergo surgical intervention before they occur.
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.
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.
Central venous pressure (CVP) is a parameter used very regularly in pediatric resuscitation units. According to international recommendations, it should be measured during resuscitation of acute circulatory failure, severe head trauma, renal transplantation in low weight children, or to indirectly assess systolic pulmonary artery pressure by the tricuspid leak gradient. The baseline measurement should be performed using a central venous catheter placed at the right atrial outlet. However, in clinical practice, trans-thoracic echocardiography (TTE) is the most widely used hemodynamic examination in PRU because of its simplicity of use and the excellent echogenicity of patients. While this technique allows assessment of CVP in spontaneously ventilated adults, it is not recommended in positively ventilated adults. Similarly, no pediatric study has formally demonstrated that TTE parameters allow reliable estimation of CVP in mechanically ventilated children, who represent a significant proportion of patients hospitalized in PRUs. The investigators therefore propose to validate TTE assessment of CVP in children on MV in PRU. The investigators wish to carry out a prospective, non-interventional study over 12 months in 6 pediatric intensive care units in France. The main objective will be to study the correlation between the measurement of the collapsibility index, the distensibility index of the inferior vena cava and the ratio of the maximum diameter of the IVC to the diameter of the abdominal aorta with the measurement of the CVP. When a patient meets the inclusion criteria, oral information and a paper record will be given to the parental authority holders by the investigator or a physician representing the investigator. After a reflection period of at least 3 hours, the non-objection will be sought and noted in the file. The patient will then be managed according to standard ICU care. The CVP measurements and ultrasound parameters, collected as part of the study, must be carried out in succession, without modifying the ventilator settings or the current therapies. The first step will be to measure the CVP on 3 occasions, at 30 second intervals, checking for the absence of spontaneous respiration or extra systole that has modified the appearance of the curve. The 2nd step will be to perform the cardiac ultrasound with measurements taken 3 times, at 30 second intervals, repositioning the ETT probe each time. The investigators hypothesize that the cardiac ultrasound allows to estimate the central venous pressure in pediatric patients, intubated and ventilated in positive pressure thanks to the measurement of these parameters. If confirmed, this data would allow validation of CVP estimation via a simple and noninvasive examination in children in VM. Furthermore, according to the recommendations, the examination of CVP via the catheter requires strict criteria on the position of the catheter (in the superior vena cava territory and at the right atrial junction). Estimation of CVP via ultrasound would therefore make it possible to obtain this data in patients whose catheter does not respect the required position, particularly patients with a catheter in the lower territory.
Neurogenic dysphagia occurs with disruption of neurological systems or processes involved in the execution of coordinated and safe swallowing. It is common in patients with neurological diseases, in particular in patients treated in Intensive Care Units (ICU) who are intubated (up to 62%) and / or tracheotomised (up to 83%). Dysphagia is one of the most common and most dangerous symptoms of many neurological diseases. In addition, neurogenic dysphagia can have a significant impact on quality of life, medication efficacy, and malnutrition. Dysphagia is currently treated conservatively on evidence-based exercises, individually adapted to each patient. In the recent years pharyngeal electrostimulation has been established and shown a positive impact on outcome. In fact, this type of therapy has not only become an addition to the existing therapy, but an important alternative for patients difficult to treat by other means. The Phagenyx® is a medical device, which has lately been used more frequently in multiple hospitals for treatment of neurogenic dysphagia. For nearly two decades pharyngeal electrostimulation has been further developed and optimised. This therapy initiates changes in the swallowing motor cortex through neuroplasticity as well as local changes in peripheral sensory architecture associated with swallowing. Bath and colleagues (2020) recently reported the efficacy of pharyngeal electrostimulation (Phagenyx®) in various neurological conditions. As a result, of current published studies, the use of pharyngeal electrostimulation probe, in selected patients, with neurological diseases with moderate to severe neurogenic dysphagia will be evaluated. This trial will initially start as quality assurance project with the aim to extent it into a monocentric based register study. The Investigators aim to validate the effectiveness of pharyngeal electrostimulation for the treatment of moderate to severe neurogenic dysphagia by systematically recording specific dysphagia-relevant parameters. At present, it is still uncertain to what extent patients with neurogenic dysphagia in the context of a non-acute neurological disease could benefit from this method. The research questions: Does the use of the pharyngeal electrostimulation probe have an influence on the outcome of dysphagia in patients with moderate to severe neurogenic dysphagia? How long after therapy, can the use of the pharyngeal electrostimulation probe lead to oral food intake and/or removal of a tracheal cannula?
Either uses two different endotracheal tubes to pass the nasal cavity and to compare the effects on the secretion and bleeding volume of patients during intubation to facilitate nasotracheal tube advancement.
The World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 as a pandemic in April 2020. COVID-19 first discovered in Wuhan, China in December 2019. As of May 4th, 2020, the total number of patients in China was 82,880, the number of deaths was 4,633, the death rate was 3.7%. In Indonesia, until May 4th 2020, there were 11,192 confirmed cases of COVID-19 with a total of 845 deaths. High transmission and death due to the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, patients with respiratory failure symptoms were suspected of having COVID-19 until declared negative. A potential and continuing threatening complication is acute respiratory failure. Patient with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) require both respiratory support and oxygen therapy. The choosing of endotracheal intubation is generally indicated in moderate to severe ARDS. Apart from respiratory failure, endotracheal intubation is also commonly performed in patients undergoing surgical procedures under general anesthesia for the management of the patient's airway. To prevent transmission to medical personnel, intubation is carried out using PPE according to the guidelines. Guidance for intubation in COVID-19 patients is recommended to use a video laryngoscope because it offers several advantages such as assisting glottis visualization and making the intubation operator more distant from the patient's mouth when compared to direct laryngoscopes. This study aims to see the effect of using PPE and the type of laryngoscope on the intubation process carried out in the COVID-19 pandemic. This study is a preliminary study aimed at seeing the effect size of the recommended PPE use on the process and success of intubation.
Early detection of esophageal intubation, one of the most common complications while performing endotracheal intubation (ETI), is crucial to adequate airway management, especially among patients suspected of difficult intubation (DI). Detective approaches with ventilation require time, increase the risk of emesis and aspiration to patients, and increase the risk of particle aerosolization to health providers under the epidemic of aerosol-borne diseases. Our study will determine the effectiveness of real-time sonography assisted to direct visualization to detect esophageal intubation before ventilation among DI patients.
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.
