Filter by:The aim of this study is to compare the EzVision® videoryngoscope with conventional laryngoscopy using a Macintosh blade in patients with suspected difficult intubation. This study primarily aims to test the hypothesis that laryngoscopy image is better with EzVision® videoryngoscopy compared to direct laryngoscopy. The secondary hypothesis is also to test the view that, compared to direct laryngoscopy, EzVision® videolingoscopy will improve intubation success, reduce intubation attempts, shorten intubation time, facilitate intubation, and cause less additional complications such as bleeding or sore throat.
Gender bias and stereotypes have been recognized as pervasive factors influencing various aspects of society, including professional settings. Within the realm of medical practice, understanding the potential impacts of such biases on performance is of paramount importance. Anesthesiology, a field that demands technical precision, teamwork, and rapid decision-making, is not immune to the potential effects of gender stereotypes on performance outcomes. This study aims to explore the potential influence of gender stereotype manipulation and stereotype threat on the fiber-optic intubation (FOE) performance of female anesthesiology residents. Stereotype threat refers to the apprehension individuals experience when their actions or abilities are evaluated within the context of negative stereotypes associated with their social group. Such threat has been shown to adversely affect cognitive and motor performance in various domains. In medical education, where skills are honed through training, understanding the role of stereotype threat is crucial to fostering equitable learning environments and ensuring patient safety.
This study compares two different approaches of lightwand intubation techniques in cervical immobilized patients.
Purpose: To compare the efficacy and safety of TCI tube core and ordinary tube core assisted tracheal intubation in simulating difficult airway under visual laryngoscope, and to provide reference for clinical application
This study will include pregnants who preferred to undergo general anesthesia for elective cesarean section. Ramped and sniffing positions of pregnant women during ventilation and intubation will be compared. The aim of this study is to investigate which position provides easier and faster intubation in pregnant women for cesarean section.
The safety of novel medical device must be assessed before being implemented into clinical practice. In the case of aerosol box, one of the safety features concerned includes its impact on intubation and how it affect the probability of efficient intubation in order to avoid risk of hypoxia to patient. As the barrier box is newly invented, there have been limited studies published. This study aims to compare intubation success rate between intubation with and without aerosol box in real patients, which will determine the chances of efficient intubation and reflect the safety features of the aerosol box.
In this study we compared the intubation success, time needed for intubation, subglottic damage, postoperaitve sore throat, hoarseness and hemodynamic response to orotracheal intubation using three different intubation stylets with C-MAC R videolaryngoscope D- blade.
This research aims to investigate potential variations in the success rate and occurrence of complications during nasogastric tube insertion between Difficult and Easy Airway Patients.
The investigators aimed to evaluate the predictive factors for successful videolaryngoscopic intubation without stylet.
Emergency tracheal intubation is a lifesaving procedure frequently performed on critically ill and injured patients in the emergency department (ED). Emergency intubations are more difficult than elective intubations in the operating room setting because of the sicker patient population with a limited physiologic reserve and less controlled setting in the ED. Indeed, the proportion of difficult intubation ranges from 10% to 27% in the ED setting , whereas the rate ranges from 1% to 9% of elective intubation in the anaesthesia setting. Because emerging evidence demonstrates that repeated intubation attempts are associated with an increased risk of adverse events, early recognition of difficulty intubation with a systematic use of rescue methods in ED patients is critical. The commonest airway prediction tool is the LEMON score. In the modified LEMON score "Mallampati" was excluded as it was not a pragmatic assessment in the ED. Existing difficult airway prediction tools were derived in the elective surgery environment and may not be applicable to emergency airway management. LEMON criteria was designed for preoperative clinical setting. Hence in this study we are observing if HEAVEN (H- Hypoxemia E - extremes of age A - anatomical abnormalities V - vomit/ blood / fluid E - Exsanguination/anaemia N - neck mobility issues) is a better tool for predicting difficult intubatio.
