Filter by:Nasotracheal intubation is a common method for securing an advanced airway during surgery for procedures that involve manipulation of the oral cavity, the dentition, or the facial bones. The placement of a nasotracheal tube is often more challenging, especially for learning providers, even for patients with normal airway anatomy. Video laryngoscopy is an adjunctive technique in anesthesia that utilizes a camera at the tip of the laryngoscope blade and provides an indirect view of the glottis during intubation through display on a monitor. The use of video laryngoscopes has been shown to reduce time to intubation, result in perception of easier intubation by the anesthesia team, and reduce the use of adjunctive maneuvers during intubation. There is little evidence, however, to show these benefits for routine nasotracheal intubation. The purpose of the study is to compare the ease of video-assisted laryngoscopy and direct laryngoscopy in routine nasotracheal intubation for Maxillofacial procedures. The investigators hypothesize that the use of video-assisted laryngoscopy for routine nasotracheal intubation will result in quicker time to intubation, less adjunctive maneuvers and anesthesia perception of easier intubation when compared to direct nasotrahceal intubation. The investigators aim to compare the time to intubation, number of adjunctive maneuvers and the perception of intubation difficulty in routine nasotracheal intubation for Maxillofacial procedures for video-assisted laryngoscopy and direct laryngoscopy.
In patients with suspected cervical spine injury, cervical immobilization, such as manual in-line stabilization or cervical collar has been adopted to prevent further neurologic injury due to cervical motion. In these patients, tracheal intubation with direct laryngoscopy is often challenging due to limited mouth opening, neck flexion, and head extension. In this situation, videolaryngoscope and fiberoptic bronchoscope have been used for tracheal intubation in such patients. In this study, the initial success rate of tracheal intubation and intubation time between the videolaryngoscope and fiberoptic bronchoscope will be compared.
Opioids have been used to modify the hemodynamic response associated with laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation. To seek the correlation of Fentanyl given time, we will analysis the data collected from vital signs monitoring machine. Patients'details will be recorded too.
The goal of this study is to learn more about voice and airway problems that patients experience during and after the time patients have an oral endotracheal tube in patients' airway to help patients breathe while receiving mechanical ventilation in an intensive care unit (ICU).
Single-arm, feasibility study to evaluate the Ceragenin Coated Endotracheal Tube (the CeraShield ETT) in adults who require intubation and are expected to be mechanically ventilated for ≥ 24 hours.
The VivaSight™‐DLT is a new OLV (one lung ventilation) device that contains an embedded camera. Therefore, a potential advantage is the continuous assessment of DLT position through continuous monitoring of the camera. The embedded camera of VivaSight™‐DLT is positioned at the tracheal opening of the double lumen tube. It allows for continuous monitoring of the carina and bronchial tube placement. The purpose of this study is to determine if a double lumen tube (DLT) with an embedded video camera, the VivaSight DLT, can be used in similar fashion to the standard double lumen tube with fiberoptic bronchoscopy. More specifically, the investigators would like to know the difference in time to optimal position in the left bronchus between the VivaSight DLT and the standard DLT with fiberoptic bronchoscopy. In addition, the investigators would like to know if the embedded camera on the VivaSight DLT provides a view that will allow for the optimum position of the DLT in the left bronchus.
this study will be undertaken-to evaluate the effect of oral amantadine versus IV amantadine premedication on the hemodynamic response to laryngoscopy ,tracheal intubation and surgical incision and their effect on β-endorphins.
In more than one-in-five cases of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, airways are blocked by vomit and blood. Sometimes, paramedics cannot clear the airway using methods they have been taught. If the airway cannot be cleared, the patient will die. Usually, these patients will have a breathing tube placed into their windpipe (intubation), as this provides protection from vomit and blood. To do this, the paramedic needs to be able to see the entrance to the windpipe. A new method of clearing the airway called SALAD has been used in patients to help insert a breathing tube, but it is not known whether the method can help paramedics. This study will use a manikin to see if paramedics can insert a breathing tube more often on their first attempt, using SALAD.
In elective gynecology and general surgery patients age 18 and over requiring endotracheal tube (ETT) intubation, what is the efficacy of ropivacaine 0.5% vs. lidocaine 2% as the medium to inflate the ETT cuff, compared to the standard of air, in reducing the incidence and severity of POST on post-op day one?
A study of a new approach to determining if, following endotracheal intubation, the endotracheal tube (ETT) is in the trachea or the esophagus. The test for correct placement consists of inflating the cuff to a pressure of 50 (to be determined by the study) and tugging the ETT gently up and out of the mouth. The investigators hypothesize that if it is in the esophagus, it will slide easily all the way out; if in the trachea, the cuff will be impeded by catching on the lower surface of the cricoid ring, and that this will require a greater force to extubate with cuff inflated than that required for the esophagus.
