View clinical trials related to Tracheal Intubation Morbidity.
Filter by:Underinflation and overinflation of tracheal cuff are common in intubated patients, including those intubated with polyurethane-cuffed tubes. The aim of this study is to determine the efficiency of a pneumatic device in controlling cuff pressure.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of dexmedetomidine on hemodynamic responses during laryngoscopy and double lumen endotracheal intubation and assess the adverse effect related to complications of dexmedetomidine.
There are two new instruments on the market that anesthesiologists use when putting a breathing tube into the lungs of patients. The purpose of this study is to see how easily anesthesiologists can learn to use them in children.
Orotracheal intubation following general anesthesia requires blades to be performed. The risk of patients contamination with infectious agents related to reusable metal blades leads to promote single-use blades. Some of these latter are plastic and this material may need more strength to lift the jaw and expose the larynx before orotracheal intubation. Sometimes, change of blade, from plastic to metal, during the procedure is necessary to increase the larynx exposure. This change of blade may increase the frequency of sore throat following orotracheal intubation. Consequently, the study hypothesis is an increase of both sore throat intensity and frequency with the plastic blades compared with the metal blades. The primary purpose of the present study is to compare the impact of these two types of blades, metal versus plastic, on sore throat intensity and frequency following scheduled orotracheal intubation for general anesthesia
The investigators hypothesise that, for novices, light guided tracheal intubation will improve the time and success rate of this clinical skill compared to standard direct tracheal intubation.
