Bougie Assisted Endotracheal Intubation in Air-Q Intubating Laryngeal Mask And Fastrach Intubating Laryngeal Mask

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Intubation;Difficult
Endotracheal Tube Wrongly Placed During Anesthetic Procedure
Interventions
Device: Endotracheal tube introducers
Registration Number
NCT03929445
Lead Sponsor
Suez Canal University
Brief Summary

This study aims to compare using bougie as an assistant for endotracheal intubation through Air-Q and Fastrach intubating laryngeal mask devices when blind intubation fails as attempt to increase its success rate.

Detailed Description

The investigators hypothesis that using bougie with its smaller caliber or lesser size can facilitate intubation and improve success rate when blind intubation through both devices fails.

Study objectives

* To make a comparison between Air-Q intubating laryngeal mask and Fastrach intubating laryngeal mask by using bougie assisted endotracheal intubation through both devices in patients undergoing elective surgeries in Suez Canal Hospitals.

* To assess the first trial success rate, the total success rate, time to tracheal intubation, the number of attempts, hemodynamics and adverse events.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
success rate of endotracheal intubation on the first, second and third attempts in both devices Air-Q and fastrach180 seconds after anethesia induction

If the blind intubation is failed through Air Q or Fastrack Intubating laryngeal mask the investigator will use gum elastic bougie to facilitate introducing an endotracheal tube estimation of success rate of endotracheal intubation on the first, second and third attempts

The time needed for devices insertion (Air Q and Fastrach Intubating Laryngeal mask)!80 seconds after anesthesia induction

1. Air Q and Fastrach Intubating laryngeal mask insertion time in seconds will be measured (device time).

2. Endotracheal tube (ETT) insertion time will be measured ( ETT time).

3. Total insertion time will be estimated (Device Time + ETT Time )

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Incidence of adverse eventsIntraoperative and in the first 48 postoperative hours

Incidence of adverse events and complications during and after the procedure will be also recorded. Complications, including laryngospasm, bleeding, false passage, and sore throat will be recorded intraoperatively and in the first 48 postoperative hours.
