Effect of Modified Stylet Angulation on the Intubation With GlideScope®

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Cholecystitis
Stomach Cancer
Interventions
Procedure: Glidescope guided intubation
Device: GlideScope®
Registration Number
NCT02547064
Lead Sponsor
Keimyung University Dongsan Medical Center
Brief Summary

The GlideScope® videolaryngoscope usually visualize glottis better than the conventional laryngoscope. Under the visualization of glottis by GlideScope®, the insertion of endotracheal tube, however, is challenging.

The goal of this study was to determine which of two stylet (70° vs 90°) was better, as determined by time to intubation.

70 degreeGlidescope guided intubationThe ETT was bent by 70° at a point 6 cm from its distal end and the proximal portion of the ETT was formed as the shape of the GL blade until the point of the handle.
90 degreeGlideScope®The ETT with the 90° angle stylet was bent at a point 8 cm from its distal end.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Time to IntubationIntraoperative intubation

Time from the insertion of the Glidescope blade to the measurement of end tidal CO2 (\>30 mmHg)

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Difficulty of Intubation Measured Using Visual Analogue ScaleIntraoperative intubation

Difficulty of intubation will be measured using visual analogue scale (0:easiest, 100:most difficult).

Thyromental DistanceIntraoperative anesthetic induction

The thyromental distance was measured.

Postoperative Sore Throat Measured Using Visual Analogue Scaleat 1, 24 hr postoperatively

Postoperative sore throat will be measured using visual analogue scale (0:no pain, 100: worst pain imaginable)

Heart RateIntraoperative intubation

Heart rates are measured before and 2 min after intubation.

Number of Participants for Whom External Laryngeal Manipulation Was NecessaryIntraoperative intubation

External laryngeal manipulation is defined as the compression of neck for the facilitation of laryngeal view. Number of participants for whom external laryngeal manipulation was necessary will be measured.

Mallampati GradeIntraoperative anesthetic induction

The Mallapati grade was assessed as I/II/III/IV (I: Soft palate, uvula, fauces, pillars visible, II: Soft palate, uvula, fauces visible, III: Soft palate, base of uvula visible, IV: Only hard palate visible). Grade I was considered better outcomes.

Mean Blood PressureIntraoperative intubation

Mean blood pressure is measured before and 2 min after intubation.

Success Rate of IntubationIntraoperative intubation

The number of patients in which the intubation was successful at the first time.

Cormack-Lehan GradeIntraoperative intubation

The grade of Cormack-Lehan was assessed as I/II/III/IV (I: Full view of glottis, II: Partial view of glottis, III: Only epiglottis seen, none of glottis seen, IV: Neither glottis nor epiglottis seen). Grade I was considered better outcomes.

Airway InjuryIntraoperative intubation

Larynx injury is assessed.
