Laryngoscopy and Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Videolaryngoscopy
Registration Number
NCT06349005
Lead Sponsor
Konya Meram State Hospital
Brief Summary

In this prospective, randomized, controlled trial, the purpose is to compare Macintosh laryngoscope, EzVision® video laryngoscope, McGrath® video laryngoscope and Storz® video laryngoscope in terms of hemodynamic response associated with intubation in adult patients undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery (CABG).

Detailed Description

During endotracheal intubation, laryngoscopy can significantly affect hemodynamic responses, including tachycardia and elevated blood pressure, which may be particularly detrimental to individuals with cardiovascular conditions. Various studies have explored the hemodynamic reactions associated with laryngeal stimulation through different intubation devices. Researchers hypothesize that endotracheal intubation using video laryngoscopy will elicit a reduced hemodynamic response compared to traditional (Macintosh) laryngoscopy. In this prospective and randomized clinical study, the purpose is to compare the Macintosh laryngoscope, EzVision® video laryngoscope, McGrath® video laryngoscope and Storz® video laryngoscope concerning haemodynamic response associated with intubation in adult patients undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery (CABG).

Hemodynamic responseChange from baseline heart rate at 10 minutes

Change from baseline heart rate

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Intubation time180 seconds

The duration from when the laryngoscope passes through the teeth until it is withdrawn back to the teeth will be measured.

Visualization of the glottis180 seconds

According to Cormack Lehane classification four grades (1-4). The higher the grade, the higher the likelihood of difficult intubation.
