Filter by:The purpose of this study was to compare the four different intubation devices in 6 different scenarios.
The aim of the study was to compare time and success rates of four intubation devices in a cardiopulmonary scenario with and without chest compressions with a standardized pediatric manikin model.
The study aims to determine the better device to facilitate intubation in patients with a limited neck movement and small mouth opening. This may help anesthesiology as well as emergency medicine practitioners and departments to decide when choosing between these two conceptually similar device. The hypothesis to be tested is that the C-MAC® is more superior when compared to the Bonfils Intubation Fibrescope in success of intubation, time to intubation and complication rate in patients with a fixed cervical collar.
Lightwand is a useful alternative device for intubation but scooping movement can induce damage and microbleeding of oral mucosa, postoperative hoarseness,sore throat. Optiscope is rigid video stylet which has camera on distal tip of device. In many previous studies, rigid video stylet has proven advantages compared with other intubating devices.
Reliable endotracheal tube (ETT) insertion confirmation is essential for critically ill patients. Incorrect placement causes a high rate of mortality and morbidity. Therefore, early detection of accidental esophageal intubation must be a primary focus of emergency airway efforts in emergency department (ED). Although many techniques have been suggested to verify the ETT placement, there is currently no entirely reliable method. Ultrasonography (US) is an indispensable and easily accessible tool in ED. Several studies of ultrasonographic confirmation of ETT position provided promising results in cadaver model or patient in a controlled operating room setting.In this study, the investigators have proposed a protocol called T.R.U.E, an acronym for tracheal rapid ultrasound exam, to confirm the ETT position in emergency intubation. This method provided a fast, real-time examination to prevent esophageal or endotracheal intubation.
