Filter by:This study hypothesizes that a novel reversal V-E ventilation technique will retain its high efficiency as that of standard V-E technique and will be easier to use.
The purpose of this study is to compare the intubation time and success rate between videolaryngoscopes (McGrath MAC videolaryngoscope, Pentax Airway Scope) and Macintosh laryngoscope in tracheal intubation in a normal and cervical immobilized manikin by novice airway managers.
The CDC definition was used to identify patients with VAP and VAT. The CDC definition of VAP for infants < 1 y.o. and children > 1 or < 12 y.o. are based on clinical and X-ray criteria. The CDC definition of Tracheitis are based on absence of clinical and radiographic evidence of pneumonia and the following criteria: positive culture obtained by deep tracheal aspirate and 2 signs of symptoms with no recognizable cause [such as fever (>38.5°C), cough, new or increased sputum production, rhonchi, or wheezing]. The new CDC definition is used to identify patients with VAC and IVAC. The new definitions includes all associated complications (infection included) related to mechanical ventilation and exclude X-ray criteria. VAP, VAT, VAC, IVAC rate, expressed as the number of VAP/VAT/VAC/IVAC episodes per 1000 mechanical ventilator days (VAP/1000 MV days), were calculated for phase 1 and phase 2.
In this study, investigators are going to compare cervical spine motion during tracheal intubation using video laryngoscope or rigid video stylet in patients with simulated cervical immobilization.
The purpose of this study is to verification of Endotracheal Tube Placement with Ultrasonography (USG).
The purpose of this observational study is to evaluate the usefulness of Kansas University airway exam score ("KU score") in predicting difficulty of placement of a breathing tube into the windpipe.
Specific and objective guidelines for choosing endobronchial tube size for main-stem intubation in pediatric patients are lacking. The objective criteria for choosing an ETT size for OLV are likely to increase the safety and success. The primary aims of this study were to define the relationship between cricoid and mainstem bronchi (right and left) in children of various ages and to determine the effects of age, height and weight.
The McGrath videolaryngoscope (VL) provides excellent laryngoscopic views, but directing an endotracheal tube is not easy, so routine using of stylet is recommended. The goal of this study is to determine the appropriate angle of stylet by comparing time to intubation (TTI).
Recently many kinds of indirect videolaryngoscopes were developed. These videolaryngoscopes provide easier intubation, help intubation difficulty, are used good tool for education. McGrath Videolaryngoscope and Pentax AirwayScope are kinds of these videolaryngoscopes. The purpose of this study is to compare of routine endotracheal intubation with McGrath Videolaryngoscope and Pentax AirwayScope by means of providing better laryngeal view, easier and faster intubation.
Knowing when to liberate critically ill patients from mechanical ventilation (i.e. extubation) is of great importance as both prolonged ventilation and failed extubation are associated with increased morbidity, mortality & costs. The study objective is to improve the safety of extubation by harnessing hidden information contained in the patterns of variation of heart and respiratory rate measured over intervals-in-time.
