Filter by:Mallampati score (classification of the visibility of oropharyngeal structures) should be performed in the sitting position, head in the neutral position, mouth widely open, and tongue protrudes, without phonation. However, phonation, and position modify the visibility of oropharyngeal structures and thus the Mallampati score. We aimed at evaluating the predictive value of the best observable Mallampati score as compare to the recommended Mallampati score.
This study is designed to identify patients' features predictive of difficult endotracheal intubation using a flexible fiberscope.
The purpose of this prospective open labeled randomized study was to compare the "laryngoscopic glottis view" as well as "ease of intubation" between the two blades in routine intubations in non-difficult airways.
The purpose of this study is to investigate two different patient's head and neck positions(neutral position and head-elevating position) for the effectiveness of orotracheal intubation with using the "Clarus Video System (Trachway®)" intubating stylet.
Supraglottic Airway devices(SGAs) like I-Gel and C-LMA ( classic laryngeal mask airway ) have been used as a conduit for tracheal intubation using ventilating bougie. General Anaesthesia with tracheal intubation is one of the technique for giving anaesthesia. Tracheal intubation may become difficult sometimes and endangers patients life. Using SGAs as a conduit for tracheal intubation helps in securing airway. This will be further facilitated by using ventilating bougie, as it maintains oxygenation.
Tracheal intubation is more difficult in patients in whom cervical spine immobilisation is maintained during tracheal intubation. The McGrath Series 5 videolaryngoscope offers a potential solution. The relatively short radius of the blade curvature combined with the internal arrangement of optimal components means that the glottis can be seen without the need for alignment of the oral, pharyngeal and tracheal axes. The investigators propose that the McGrath Series 5 videolaryngoscope will improve the view of the larynx in patients with limited neck movements, making intubation quicker, easier and possibly safer.

Advanced airway interventions are common high risk, high stakes events for children in intensive care units (ICU) and emergency departments (ED), with risk for life and health threatening consequences.
The aim of the study is to compare the effect of the laryngoscope-assisted lightwand intubation technique vs. the conventional lightwand intubation technique on the cervical spine motion during intubation in patients with the simulated cervical immobilization.
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether degree of neck flexion affect on laryngeal view and discomfort during endotracheal intubation in adult patients.
