Filter by:In paediatric anaesthesia, use of cuffed endotracheal (ET) tubes is subject to much debate. The concern is the possibility of damage to tracheal mucosa by excessive pressure from the cuff. The cuff pressure can increase during anaesthesia, especially if nitrous oxide is used. Using saline to inflate the cuff has been shown to reduce intra-operative cuff pressure variation in adult studies, although it is not standard practice. Although the literature contains reports of cuff pressure increases during paediatric anaesthesia, there are no reports of attempts to address this. Use of pressure monitoring is recommended by AAGBI, but may not be consistently done. A safe method of limiting pressure, that is effective, imposes minimal extra workload and has minimal cost, would reduce risk to patients. This study aims to investigate the effect on intra-operative cuff pressure of using saline to inflate the ET tube cuff, compared to standard practice of air inflation. Continuous pressure monitoring will be used to determine the proportion of cases where interventions are required to keep the pressure below a safe maximum level.
The aim of this study is to compare tracheal ultrasound with direct visualization of tracheal rings for the confirmation of endotracheal tube placement in intubated patients. We hypothesize that this method is more reliable, cheap, and readily available for all emergency physicians.
The purpose of the study is to determine the efficacy of video coaching training for neonatology attending providers on tracheal intubation procedural outcomes in neonatal ICUs.
The investigators suppose that direct laryngoscopy is connected with deeper insertion of endotracheal tube in comparison to videolaryngoscopy. Correction of this malposition can cause postoperative discomfort and further complications in some patients.Routine use of videolaryngoscopy could minimize these problems.
In patients with cervical spine disorders or hernia, in-line stabilization and immobilization during tracheal intubation is used to avoid neck injury. With direct laryngoscopy cranio-cervical motion can result injury. The aim of the study is to compare two different device (C-Mac D blade versus fastrach LMA ) regarding cervical motions during intubation.
Prospective study conducted between March 2013 and November 2014 at Hospital Universitario Puerta de Hierro-Majadahonda, in Madrid, Spain to identify complications and evaluate the efficacy of pure inhalational anesthesia induction to achieve endotracheal intubation without the use of muscle relaxant and analgesic drugs.
The goal of this prospective randomized study is to compare the effect of nasal tip lifting during nasotracheal intubation. The question the investigators are trying to answer is: If the nasal tip is tilted, will the E-tube be more likely to enter the lower passage during nasal intubation?
This study is designed to examine the effect of benzydamine hydrochloride to postoperative sore throat in pediatric patients. We will spray benzydmaine hydrochloride or normal saline at oral cavity and the tip of endotracheal tube, than compare the prevalence of postoperative sore throat using smartphone application in pediatric patients.
Endotracheal intubation is common in the care of critically ill patients. Complications of airway management in this setting are frequently encountered and may be associated with an increased risk of death. The prevention of complications during urgent and emergent endotracheal intubation is a key focus for airway management research. Post-intubation hypotension (PIH), a common complication of endotracheal intubation in the critically ill, may be prevented by a bolus of intravenous fluid prior to the start of the procedure, but this approach has not been examined in a prospective trial. There are no randomized trials of intravenous fluid administration to prevent PIH in critically ill adults. The investigators propose a randomized trial of fluid loading to prevent PIH in critically ill adults.
In this study, the investigators aimed to compare the effects of direct laryngoscopic and fiberoptic endotracheal intubation on intraocular pressure.
