Filter by:This study evaluates the learning and performance of tracheal intubation by first year anaesthesia trainee in Nepalese population using either Airtraq or Macintosh laryngoscopes.
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.
VHIntubation is a French monocentric and observational study that will assess the impact of two intra-tracheal intubation preparation procedures (curarization versus remifentanil) on the voice, using the Voice Handicap Index (VHI) self-questionnaire.
The purpose of the study is to achieve effective ventilation with critical intracuff pressure (Pcr) and determine if application of Pcr reduces the risks associated with over-insufflation of endotracheal cuff including postoperative sore throat, cough,nausea, vomiting, aspiration, and pneumonia.
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.
Although the asthmatic treatments currently be effective in term of efficacy of inhaled medications and good clinical outcome including symptom controlled and asthma exacerbation number, the large number of worse event still have been reported. Few cases eventually have been intubated and died even though using optimal medication. In this study, we will search to identify factors that may influence intubation in hospitalised patient with asthmatic attack.
The aim of this study is to compare the ultrasound-guidance versus auscultation to confirm optimal insertion depth of the cuffless oral Ring-Adair-Elwyn (RAE) endotracheal tube in pediatric patients undergoing general anesthesia.
Examining the effectiveness of cricoid pressure using ultrasound imaging. Pulmonary aspiration of gastric contents during tracheal intubation, although rare in pediatrics, is a potentially catastrophic complication of anesthesia. Cricoid pressure is applied during rapid sequence induction to occlude the esophagus and prevent aspiration of gastric contents. Accumulating evidence in adults suggests that cricoid pressure often is not effective, either because the esophagus normally lies lateral to the cricoid cartilage, or because downward pressure on the cricoid cartilage laterally displaces (rather than compresses) the esophagus. The investigator proposes to examine the effectiveness of cricoid pressure in children in the peri-operative setting using non-invasive ultrasound imaging. Using this approach, the investigator will investigate the normal anatomical relationship of the esophagus and the cricoid cartilage, as well as how cricoid pressures influences this relationship. Further, the investigator will examine whether alternatives to downward cricoid pressure, such as laterally directed pressure, are more effective at occluding the esophagus.
either uses a bougie or nasogastric tube to assist the nasotracheal tube passing the nasal cavity, nasopharynx, oropharynx and advanced into the trachea
This study aims to compare effects of two different agents on complications due to tracheal tube cuff in pediatric patients. Sore throat, hoarseness, laryngospasm, bronchospasm are the main complications.
