Fingers Hook Technique to Facilitate Nasotracheal Intubation
- Conditions
- Nasotracheal Intubation
- Registration Number
- NCT03086668
- Brief Summary
to compare either using conventional jaw thrust technique or with a novel fingers-hook technique to facilitate video-stylet assisted nasotracheal intubation
- Detailed Description
It is necessary to adequately exposure of glottis during naso-tracheal intubation using video-stylet. However, inadequate upward epiglottis or over-elevation of arytenoids all inhibit the tube tip smoothly into trachea. Therefore, the study is to investigate either jaw thrust or fingers-hook technique is advantages of nasotracheal intubation.
