Filter by:This study aims to asses if the application of the larynGuide™, an assistive software running on a video-laryngoscope platform guiding laryngoscopy and intubation advise correctly and reliably on the position of the tracheal tube after an intubation attempt.
Securing the airway through endotracheal intubation (ETI) is a fundamental skill for anaesthetists. It is used during surgery, in the intensive care unit, during periprocedural anaesthesia and in emergency medicine. The clinical relevance of airway management is demonstrated in particular by the fact that the main cause of serious anaesthesia-related complications lies in the area of airway management. increasing technological developments in recent years (e.g. video laryngoscopy [VL]) aim to reduce the complication rate in the area of airway management. however, there are currently a large number of VLs available, which differ massively in their application. Therefore, it is essential to systematically collect data and develop structured training in airway management, taking into account current technological developments.While endotracheal intubation is traditionally performed with a direct laryngoscope, indirect video laryngoscopy, with chip-based camera technology at its tip, has been introduced across the board in recent years and is now part of standard clinical and preclinical equipment. Doctors in advanced training are trained with a focus on direct laryngoscopy; the use of and training in indirect video laryngoscopy does not follow any standards; in addition, the decision as to which method of securing the airway is chosen has so far been the responsibility of the individual doctor in anaesthesiology, although there is a tendency for the VL to be associated with a higher success rate in the first intubation attempt, the so-called "first-pass success".The main aim of this clinical prospective, randomised controlled trial is to train anaesthetists in advanced training in conventional direct laryngoscopy on the one hand and indirect video laryngoscopy (VL) on the other, with a focus on tracking the progress of their skills after 200 intubations with regard to first-pass success.
Tracheal intubation in the intensive care unit (ICU) is associated with high incidence of difficult intubation and complications. Videolaryngoscopes (VLs) devices have been proposed to improve airway management, and the use of VLs are recommended as first-line or after a first-attempt failure using direct laryngoscopy in ICU airway management algorithms. Although until relatively few years ago there were doubts about whether videolaryngoscopes had advantages over direct laryngoscopy for endotracheal intubation (ETI) in critically ill patients, two recent studies (DEVICE (1), INTUBATE (2)), and a Cochrane review (3) have confirmed that videolaryn should be used?, and what is the best blade? . There are two types of blades commonly used with videolaryngoscopes: the "Macintosh" blade with a slight curvature, and hyperangulated blades. The "Macintosh" blades have a lower angle of vision, but they have the advantage of being similar to the blades commonly used in direct laryngoscopy, making them easy to use for the person performing the ETI. Hyperangulated blades have a greater angle of vision, improving glottic visualization, especially in patients with an anterior glottis. However, the need to overcome this angulation could potentially hinder the passage of the endotracheal tube to the vocal cords. It is unknown if either blade has any advantage for intubating critically ill patients.
In this study, the authors aim to investigate the effect of adding jaw thrust maneuver on time to successful orotracheal fiberoptic intubation of pediatrics during resident training program.
A. The hypothesis of this study is "Airway ultrasound will be superior to the conventional methods of auscultation and palpation in confirming proper positioning of the endotracheal tube in children undergoing endotracheal intubation with an endotracheal tube with cuff". B. The purpose of this study is to determine the utility of airway ultrasound in confirming proper positioning of the endotracheal tube. C. In addition, we would like to suggest what criteria should be used when using airway ultrasound to determine the fixed position of an endotracheal tube.
ICU patients experience moderate to severe pain. Studies and guidelines point out the benefits of multimodal analgesia on pain control, opioid spare and on lowering its adverse effects. However, no recommendation about drugs or protocol has been formulated. In our study, investigators studied the feasibility and the impact on Remifentanil spare of a standardized protocol using multimodal analgesia (Paracetamol, Nefopam, Tramadol, Ketamine, Remifentanil) compared to the standard-of-care strategy using Paracetamol and Remifentanil. The investigators conducted a prospective, ''proof of concept'', randomized, double-blind, parallel group, placebo-controlled trial. The investigators studied multimodal analgesia versus standard-of-care in ICU patients requiring sedation-analgesia for invasive mechanical ventilation.The investigators hypothesized that Remifentanil consumption decrease by 15% with the use of a standardized multimodal analgesia strategy
According to the current guidelines the patient is not allowed to drink any fluid at least 2 hours after extubation to prevent complications. However there is no evidence in the literature to support this approach. Because anaesthetic drugs and their side effects changed significantly from their first usage, the investigators can assume that existing approach is obsolete and has no place anymore in the modern medicine. Keeping patient n.p.o (nothing per os) for 2 hours after extubation may lead to patient´s thirst or other discomfort. The aim of the study is to detect whether early oral fluid intake after extubation could lead to safe relief of thirst and to better patient´s comfort overall.
Weaning from mechanical ventilation is a daily challenge in intensive care units, as it can take up to 50% of the total duration of ventilation. The longer the duration of ventilation is, the more there is complication related with it. Even when the spontaneous breathing trial is succeeded, 10 to 20% of extubations are failed and requires re-intubation. There is two different ways to assess if the patient is capable of breathing by its own : T-piece which can be considered as hard to succeed (it can delay extubation for some patients) or pressure support ventilation with no PEEP which can be too easy and lead to an extubation too early. Studies have identified risk factors of weaning induced pulmonary oedema wich is one of the main cause of failed extubation (up to 60%). The purpose of P-WEAN is to evaluate whether a personalized strategy for weaning from mechanical ventilation, including daily search for weaning criteria and individualization of the weaning modality (T-piece or pressure support ventilation with zero PEEP) based on the existence of WIPO risk factors (obesity, COPD, cardiopathy) improves weaning success compared with usual practice.
The aim of study is to evaluate whether the head position facilitates pediatric nasotracheal intubation when using a video-laryngoscope.
The VACCIN box, an anti-aerosol intubation box for potential use on COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) positive patients, was designed in order to reduce the transmission risk to healthcare workers. This study will compare the safety and the ease of use of the VACCIN box to a standard intubation in healthy participants undergoing elective surgery. It is expected that intubation times and success rate of intubation in the same circumstances will be similar with and without the use of the VACCIN box.
