Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of endotracheal intubation via glidescope videolaryngoscope (GVL) using different curve of stylet in 120 children aged between 1 and 5 year old.
For better view of fiberoptic intubation, the posture of neck is compared between neck flexion and extension.
Oro-tracheal intubation is performed daily in anesthesia and in the ICU. When a patient is intubated, the endotracheal tube must be inserted into the trachea to the right depth. If the tube is not deep Inserted enough there is a risk of accidental extubation and trauma to the vocal cords by the balloon. If the tube is inserted too far there is a risk of selective intubation into the right or left mainstem bronchus, which can lead to contralateral lung atelectasis and hypoxemia. The purpose of this study is to determine whether there is a correlation between the measurement of the airway of an adult population and criteria that would be easily accessible in daily clinical practice: the height of the patient and the size of their feet.
Endotracheal intubation is most commonly taught and performed with the patient supine. Recent literature suggests that elevating the patient's head to a more upright position may decrease peri-intubation complications. However, there is little data on success rates of upright intubation in the emergency department. The goal of this study was to measure the association of head positioning with intubation success rates among emergency medicine residents.
The main objective of this study is to demonstrate that the only administration of L-citrulline, can improve immune functions in critically ill patients at high risk of nosocomial infection.
This study compares the use of simulation-based just-in-time training to video training in learning neonatal endotracheal intubation. Half of the participants will be trained using simulation-based just-in-time training and the other half using video training. The hypothesis are Primary hypothesis: In the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, use of simulation-based just-in-time training, compared to video training, will increase the rate of successful clinical endotracheal intubation by 20%. Secondary hypotheses: The investigators expect that simulation-based just-in-time training prior to clinical endotracheal intubation will decrease time to successful intubation and rate of endotracheal intubation related adverse events, namely mucosal trauma, oesophageal and endobronchial intubations. In addition, the investigators expect that simulation-based just-in-time training will increase residents' confidence level while performing clinical endotracheal intubation.
Patients presenting for elective surgery requiring orotracheal intubation will be randomized to having the ETT inserted into the pharynx simultaneous to GlideScope insertion and then having the ETT advanced under GlideScope guidance into the trachea, or, being intubated in the more common fashion with the GlideScope being inserted first and having the ETT then advanced via the pharynx into the trachea.
The investigators studied the efficiency of Macintosh laryngoscope and the King Vision video laryngoscope in adult patients scheduled for general anesthesia. Best Cormack-Lehane score obtained, glottic view time, intubation time, time to ventilation, correlation between the Mallampati classification and the Cormack-Lehane grades, and complications related to laryngoscopy and intubation has been investigated.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether possible damages of the trachea caused by a prior prolonged intubation (> 24h) can be observed by rigid endoscopy of the trachea and if cuffed tracheal tubes cause less damages than cuffed tubes.
The objective of this study is to compared effectiveness of intubation using ETView VivaSight SL and standard tracheal tube during resuscitation performed by a novice-physicians.
