Filter by:The aim of the study was to compare time and success rates of TruView PCD video laryngoscope and Macintosh laryngoscope for the pediatric emergency intubation with three airway scenarios in a standardized manikin model.
Comparison of four laryngoscope blades (Miller, Macintosh, Phillips and Wis-Hipple) for infant intubation during resuscitation with and without chest compressions.
The aim of the study was to compare time and success rates of four intubation devices ( in a cardiopulmonary scenario with uninterrupted chest compressions with a standardized manikin model. The investigators hypothesized that fiberoscope laryngoscopes may improve success rates.
The purpose of this study was to compare the Venner a.p. advance video laryngoscope to Miller laryngoscope during resuscitation with and without chest compressions.
There will be a difference of the insertion depth between the types of the endotracheal tube.
Is there a difference in vocal cord visualization between the retromolar and conventional access?
Cleaning the endotracheal tube with a specifically designed device results in lower amount of secretions at extubation, assessed by micro CT scan
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness and safety of ketamine and etomidate during rapid sequence intubation (RSI).
Aim: The aim of the method evaluation study is a comparing study of Truview PCD™ (Picture Capture Device) laryngoscope vs. Macintosh laryngoscope. The result of this study will form a basis for a possible recommendation of the Truview PCD™ laryngoscope in our organisation. The laryngoscopes are compared according to their ability to visualize the glottis area measured by the Cormack Lehane (CL) grade and the time used to get the best CL grade. A registration of any damage of tissue/teeths caused by the laryngoscopes, and a possible decrease of the saturation will also be made. Hypothesis: The Truview PCD™ laryngoscope provides a better view of the vocal cords and thereby makes the intubation les difficult. CL 1 is achieved in 90 percent of intubations with the Macintosh laryngoscope, and the hypothesis of the study is that CL 1 can be increased to 98 percent by use of the Truview PCD™ laryngoscope.
Water method with water exchange has been shown to reduce medication requirement and pain experienced during colonoscopy. It increases the success rate of cecal intubation in sedated and unsedated patients undergoing screening colonoscopy. Exchange of water during scope insertion minimizes distension of the colonic lumen and decreases loop formation. Exclusion of air from the colon during insertion by omission of air insufflations and suction removal of residual air prevent elongation of the colon. These maneuvers facilitate colonoscopy insertion in average patients and may enhance the success of difficult colonoscopy. Prior abdominal or pelvic surgery is an independent factor for difficult colonoscopy, the probable adhesion may change the anatomy and increase the discomfort of patients. We postulate that these patients may benefit from using the water method for colonoscopy. In this proposal we test the hypothesis that compared with conventional air insufflations the water method with water exchange significantly enhances the success rate of cecal intubation in patients with prior abdominal or pelvic surgery. The aim of the study is to compare the outcome of colonoscopy using the water method versus the conventional air method in patients with prior abdominal or pelvic surgery. The primary outcome is cecal intubation success rate. The secondary outcomes include cecal intubation time, maximum pain score during colonoscopy, overall pain score after colonoscopy and adenoma detection rate.
