Comparison of Different Tools Inserted Nasal Endotracheal Tube

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Intubation, Nasotracheal Intubation
Registration Number
NCT02448277
Lead Sponsor
Kaohsiung Medical University Chung-Ho Memorial Hospital
Brief Summary

Nasotracheal intubation (NTI) is usually required in patients undergoing maxillofacial surgery. Though video-scopes have been demonstrated to well perform in oral endotracheal intubation, limited information presents in NTI. The aim of the study is to compare the efficacy of video-scopes in NTI and compared with the traditional direct laryngoscope.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
number of the patients with successful nasotracheal intubation and scoring difficult intubation scalehalf an hour

Nasotracheal intubation assisted by a video-stylet may be performed in patients following induction of anesthesia (fentanyl 2 micro-gram/kg, thiamylal 5 mg/kg, cis-atracurium 0.2 mg/kg and propofol 1 mg/kg)

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
time to intubate10 minutes

time of Intubating the nasotracheal tube (NT) from selected nostril to trachea is continuously calculated but separately into two parts. part one: from termination of mask ventilation and mask removed from face, to the NT tip on the nasopharynx. part two: advancing NT from nasopharynx, through vocal cord into trachea, to present of 3 end tidal carbon dioxide waveforms.
