Filter by:The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of premedication drugs Atropin, Fentanyl and Mivacurium and of endotracheal intubation on cerebral oxygenation and cardiac output in term and preterm newborn infants. Two different protocols of premedication are compared.
The investigators aim to compare two different types of supraglottic devices for tracheal intubation in patients undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia. The investigators hypothesis is that the use of the I-gel® supraglottic airway device associated with a GlideRite® endotracheal tube will result in an equal success rate of fiberoptic tracheal intubation when compared to the LMA-Fastrach® associated with a GlideRite® endotracheal tube. Time to intubate with the I-gel® device should also be shorter.
The investigators aim to compare the new paediatric Airtraq indirect optical laryngoscope with conventional direct laryngoscopy for tracheal intubation in a randomised crossover study during routine anaesthesia. The investigators hypothesise that the Airtraq is as good as conventional laryngoscopy for tracheal intubation of infants and children. This will be an equivalence rather than a non-inferiority study.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether nasal tracheal intubation using Blind Intubation Device is safe and effective in anesthetized patients with Mallampati class 3
This study was performed to ultrasonographically demonstrate the changes in relationship between the right internal jugular vein (IJV) and an anatomical landmark in two different head positions: neutral and rotational.
The investigators seek to prospectively compare intubation with the Glidescope Cobalt to Direct Laryngoscopy (DL) in infants.
The purpose of the pilot study is to compare new laryngoscopes for infants by assessing the equipment best suited to assist the intubation, with the best overview, shortest time to intubation and use these numbers to make a sample size calculation for the full protocol. The investigators hypothesis is that the Storz videolaryngoscope® has a better success rate than infants (<2 years). The patients will be optimally anaesthetized with neuromuscular blockade for the intubation. All patient will be evaluated with af Macintosh blade laryngoscope, with an Airtraq® or a Storz videolaryngoscope®, and finally intubated with the other one of the later, which the patient was randomized to.
Insertion of the ProSeal laryngeal mask airway in pediatric patients using the 90 degree rotational technique is more successful and causes less pharyngeal trauma than the standard technique in pediatric patients.
The intention of this study is to compare the performance of the single-use I-gel laryngeal mask with the classic laryngeal mask in 50 patients with a BMI>25 during elective surgery. Primary outcome is the leak pressure. Secondary outcomes include ease and duration of insertion.
Various supraglottic airways may be used as a dedicated airway for insertion of intubating fibrescope and tracheal intubation in the patients with difficult to manage airways (Difficult Airway Society Guidelines). The investigators aim to compare three different types of supraglottic device as a conduit for tracheal intubation - CTrach optical laryngeal mask, Intubating laryngeal mask airway and I-gel supraglottic airway. Null hypothesis for this study is that all three devices will perform without statistical difference in the means of success rate and time needed for their insertion and tracheal intubation.
