Filter by:The aim of this study is to review/identify the existing definition and management strategies for a physiologically difficult airway (PDA), to generate expert consensus on the various aspects of managing a patient with a PDA using the Delphi method, and to provide guidance to clinicians worldwide on safe tracheal intubation practices in patients with PDA to help improve patient outcomes.
The present randomized clinical trial wants to compare the efficacy and safety of UED-A videolaryngoscope to Glidescope Titanium for routinely tracheal intubation in 60 adults, in terms of successful rate, no. attempts and manoeuvre duration.
The videolaryngoscope is an established tool for securing the airway, even in difficult situations. It remains unclear which insertion technique is the safest and fastest in the difficult airway.
Videolaryngoscopy-guided intubation has become widespread as a means of preventing major complications relating to airway management by improving the glottic view, increasing the first attempt success rate, likely reduce rates of hypoxemic events, while reducing the rate of airway trauma. However, as randomized controlled studies in patients with anticipated difficult intubation undergoing ear nose and throat (ENT) or oral and maxillofacial (OMF) surgery are lacking, it is still unknown if hyperangulated blades improve glottic view and if their use translates into faster intubation. The primary aim of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the percentage of glottic opening (POGO) between hyperangulated blades and Macintosh blades in patients with expected difficult intubation undergoing ENT or OMF surgery who require transoral tracheal intubation. Secondary aims are to compare secondary outcome measures such as time variables, indicators for difficult and successful intubation, number of attempts, view conditions, difficult airway classifications and adverse events between both blade types.
Neuromuscular blockers provide muscle relaxation by blocking the electrical conduction to motor nerves and facilitate endotracheal tube placement while relaxing the whole body for surgical comfort during general anesthesia. Parotid surgery is a procedure performed by ear, nose and throat physicians, and as a complication during this procedure, permanent facial paralysis may develop due to damage to the facial nerve. Intraoperative nerve monitoring is frequently used to avoid this complication. The application of local anesthetic to the vocal cords and into the trachea has been tried and found useful for induction of anesthesia without the use of neuromuscular blockers. In studies conducted with this technique, a standard local anesthetic dose was not specified and local anesthetics were generally administered alone and in high doses. It is expected that anesthesia induction and intubation without the use of muscle relaxants will not affect the comfort of the patient and the procedure, but will increase the surgical time and surgical satisfaction.
Laryngeal nerve monitoring is performed to prevent intraoperative nerve damage in thyroidectomy operations. NIM-EMG intubation tube is used while monitoring the recurrent laryngeal nerve. Care should be taken when placing this tube. Ensure that the electrodes on the tube are in contact with the vocal cords. Both the macintosh laryngoscope and the videolaryngoscope can be used when inserting the NIM-EMG tube. The aim of our study is to compare these two intubation methods.
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.
Endotracheal intubation plays an important role in general anesthesia. Complications can be prevented by using alternative airway devices in predetermined difficult intubation cases. In this study, the investigators aimed to compare the results of endotracheal intubation with video fiberscope and DCI video laryngoscope devices of two different experienced physicians (E and H).
According to previous studies, head and neck rotation reduces the tongue from being rolled back by gravity, which resulted in increasing patency of the upper airway. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to verify whether head and neck rotation increases the first attempt success rate of i-gel™.
