Comparison between airway nerve blocks vis-à -vis spray-as-you-go technique for awake nasotracheal intubation in anticipated difficult airway using portable fibrescope’

Recruiting

• Conditions: ASA grade I, II patients.(b)Age group18yrs – 60 years(c)Anticipated difficult airway as assessed in PA assessment.

• Registration Number: CTRI/2018/01/011349
• Lead Sponsor: ARMED FORCES MEDICAL COLLEGE

Brief Summary

Thisstudy is a longitudinal observational study aimed at comparing the time taken for intubation in anticipateddifficult airway with two different airway anaesthesia techniques and alsohaemodynamic parameters and patient comfort in both groups. A study in thisregard will act as a guide to the anaesthesiologist to decide the type ofairway airway anaesthesia preferred with respect to ease of intubation andpatient comfort..

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
To compare the time taken for intubation,by two methods of airway anaesthesia namely airway nerve blocks and topical spray-as-you-go technique for anaesthesia in the performance of awake nasotracheal intubation using flexible videoscope in anticipated difficult airway.	1)Time to vocal cord visualization | 2)Time to tracheal intubation | 3)Total time of nasotracheal intubation

Secondary Outcome Measures
