Comparison of Haemodynamic Effects During Orotracheal Intubation, by Direct or Indirect Laryngoscopy With Airtraq — HEMODAIRTRAQ  

Orotracheal Intubation Clinical Trial

Official title: Comparison of Haemodynamic Effects During Orotracheal Intubation, by Direct or Indirect Laryngoscopy With Airtraq, Controlled, Prospective, Randomized, Simple-blind, Monocentric Study at the Lille University Hospital Specialties Block.

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

News techniques of intubation by indirect laryngoscopy have arrived in operating rooms but they are still too restricted to situations (difficult intubation criteria ..). It wanted to focus on indirect laryngoscopy by Airtraq. This technique allows better exposure during intubation while limiting mouth opening and cervical hyper extension, but also dental trauma and lip wounds. It also reduces the duration of laryngoscopy and therefore at the same time the apnea time. After a review of the literature, it has been proven that its use reduces haemodynamic changes during intubation. But these studies have been realized only in very particular patients (obese, heart failure) and with induction protocols that are not used routinely in our operating theaters.

Reasons why it decided to carry out this study, on the one hand to find these results and especially to be able to extend them to the whole population.
