Tracheal Tube Cuff Inflation-Deflation Method for Video Assisted Laryngoscope Nasal Intubation in Adults

Not Applicable
Conditions
Airway Management
Interventions
Procedure: Tracheal Intubation
Registration Number
NCT05455723
Lead Sponsor
Suez Canal University
Brief Summary

Magill forceps is used to maneuver the endotracheal tube ETT in the posterior oropharynx and place its tip into the laryngeal inlet. While the Magill forceps are useful in guiding the nasotracheal tube past the vocal cords, care must be taken to avoid excessive maneuvering in order to minimize the risk of local trauma and rupture of the nasotracheal tube balloon.

Cuff inflation-deflation method can reduce the apnea time in the adult patients. This, in turn, could point to a reduction in the complications (as desaturation and cardiac arrhythmia) that associated with the prolonged-time procedure.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
to test whether the inflation-deflation method would decrease the need for Magill forceps in video laryngoscopy assisted nasal intubation in pediatric patients compared with the conventional non-cuff inflation approach.60 seconds

The percentage of patients who did not require Magill forceps for nasal intubation success was recorded.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The time period for the second phase nasal intubation60 seconds

The time in seconds for the second phase nasal intubation(from the tip of endotracheal tube will be placed in pharynx till it pass the vocal cords

Evaluation of oxygenation state during nasal intubationpreoperative and intraoperative

rate of oxygen drop during the procedure

The number of attempts required for successful nasal intubation.120 seconds

number of trials, how many numbers of attempts the investigator take for successful nasal intubation

Amount of injected air for cuff inflation15 seconds

Amount of injected air in ml, how many air injected in the cuff balloon to make the tip of endotracheal tube advanced into the trachea

Assessment of side effects of using Magill forceps during nasal intubation48 hours

A 4-point scale: 1- No epistaxis; 2-Mild epistaxis (blood on the tracheal tube only); 3- Moderate epistaxis (blood pooling in the pharynx); 4- Severe epistaxis (blood in the pharynx sufficient to impede intubation)

Need for external compression and need for help60 minutes

Need for external tracheal compression and need for help

evaluate the anesthetists' experience of using the inflation-deflation method for nasal intubation.20 minutes after patient recovery

score 1 to 5 A five-point Likert scales for: How likely is it that anesthetist would recommend the same used inflation-deflation method to practice a colleague in the future (not at all/ slightly/ moderately/ very/ extremely: where 1 is not at all, 3 is moderate,5 is extremely

need of endotracheal tube rotation60 seconds

need of endotracheal tube rotation and the degree of rotation 90, 180 0r 360 degree
