Filter by:The VACCIN box, an anti-aerosol intubation box for potential use on COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) positive patients, was designed in order to reduce the transmission risk to healthcare workers. This study will compare the safety and the ease of use of the VACCIN box to a standard intubation in healthy participants undergoing elective surgery. It is expected that intubation times and success rate of intubation in the same circumstances will be similar with and without the use of the VACCIN box.
Airway management is of outmost importance in the perioperative period. One of the main questions while making a plan for airway management is whether spontaneous ventilation should be maintained or not. Induction of anesthesia with Sevoflurane is a conventional technique that preserves spontaneous ventilation. It is used especially in non-collaborating patients or when other pharmaceutical agents or sophisticated airway management equipment is out of reach. Inhalational induction of anesthesia with Sevoflurane is well studied. However, there are few studies investigating the effects of Sevoflurane on induction and intubating conditions, on cardiopulmonary physiology, on emergence conditions, when it is used as one and only agent to achieve induction of anesthesia, intubation and maintenance of anesthesia in adult patients. There is also no consensus on the appropriate duration of the inhalational induction or other criteria to guarantee successful intubation conditions, since most studies investigate Sevoflurane administration until induction of anesthesia and not until intubation. From all the above, it appears that there are a few gaps in the management of patients who are to be intubated with Sevoflurane only, without the use of any other anesthetic agents.
The purpose of this study is to compare reintubation rates and outcomes of patients treated with high-flow nasal canula oxygen therapy (HFNC) and patients treated with provider choice of standard care.
The purpose of this study is to compare the sedation effect of dexmedetomidine and propofol when they are both combined with midazolam and remifentanil during awake endotracheal intubation.
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the difference in stylet curvature affects the ease of tracheal intubation using C-MAC videolaryngoscope in infants under 1 year of age.
The investigators will evaluate the endotracheal intubation using video laryngoscopy versus conventional direct laryngoscopy on intubation success, quantified by the number of intubation attempts. The question is important because video laryngoscopes are more expensive than conventional direct laryngoscopes. The additional cost might be justified if video systems improve intubation success and reduce airway trauma. But if they do not, the extra cost would not be justified
This is a randomized control study where adult patients had been divided randomly into two equal groups using video laryngoscope in group (V) and flexible intubating laryngoscope in group (F)
This study aims to compare the exposure of glottis by the use of video and direct laryngoscopy.
Nasotracheal intubation is one of the anesthetic procedures required for oral surgery. It allows the surgeon easier access to the surgical site than the orthotracheal intubation. Therefore, nosotracheal intubation is commonly used for general anesthesia for oral and maxillofacial surgery and dental treatment. However, nasotracheal intubation can damage the nasal mucosa in the course of the tube passing through the nostrils, causing epistaxis which is reported as the most common side effect. In order to reduce these side effects, heating of the tube and use of a tube lubricant immediately before intubation have been recommended in children. However, research on whether the dry state of the mucosa itself contributes to the development of epistaxis is limited. A study in adults reported that pretreatment of the ointment on the mucosa reduced the damage to the mucosa. However, its effect on the incidence of epistaxis in children has not been studied. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of pretreatment of nasal ointment on epistaxis of nasotracheal intubation in children.
This study is for patients who will be having surgery and will have a breathing tube placed during intubation. The purpose of the research is to study the time it takes to use a barrier box for placement of a breathing tube. A barrier box is a clear box that sits over the head and shoulders of a patient as a breathing tube is placed. The box is used to protect the healthcare provider's exposure to coronavirus in patients who have COVID-19. The study will not include patients who test positive for COVID-19 or who are sick with COVID-19 symptoms. The researchers want to learn how long it takes to use the barrier box before it is used routinely in COVID-19 patients.
