- Brief Summary
Neuromuscular blockers provide muscle relaxation by blocking the electrical conduction to motor nerves and facilitate endotracheal tube placement while relaxing the whole body for surgical comfort during general anesthesia. Parotid surgery is a procedure performed by ear, nose and throat physicians, and as a complication during this procedure, permanent facial paralysis may develop due to damage to the facial nerve. Intraoperative nerve monitoring is frequently used to avoid this complication. The application of local anesthetic to the vocal cords and into the trachea has been tried and found useful for induction of anesthesia without the use of neuromuscular blockers. In studies conducted with this technique, a standard local anesthetic dose was not specified and local anesthetics were generally administered alone and in high doses. It is expected that anesthesia induction and intubation without the use of muscle relaxants will not affect the comfort of the patient and the procedure, but will increase the surgical time and surgical satisfaction.
- Detailed Description
A general anesthesia technique is required, which will not only facilitate tracheal intubation during anesthesia but also minimize complications that may develop during and after surgery and/or anesthesia without the neuromuscular blocker effect. For this purpose; Induction techniques can be used without the use of muscle relaxants, which will affect the hemodynamic response less. By applying muscle relaxants, its effect can be expected to disappear completely during surgery, or muscle relaxants such as succinylcholine, which are very short-acting, can be used. However, the use of succinylcholine has almost ceased to be used clinically due to anaphylaxis, severe post-operative muscle pain, increased serum potassium levels, rarely prolonged effects, and other cardiovascular side effects that may develop. Sugammadex, which has recently entered clinical use, can be used to reverse the effect of muscle relaxants. After induction, it is necessary to use high doses of sugammadex to immediately reverse the muscle relaxant effect. Waiting for the effects of muscle relaxants to pass, especially in surgical procedures that require neuromonitoring, prolongs the surgical time. This again leads to high costs. The application of local anesthetic to the vocal cords and into the trachea has been tried and found useful for induction of anesthesia without the use of neuromuscular blockers. In studies conducted with this technique, a standard local anesthetic dose was not specified and local anesthetics were generally administered alone and in high doses. Therefore, local anesthetic administered together with the inhalation agent during induction may provide better comfort during tracheal intubation. It is expected that anesthesia induction and intubation without the use of muscle relaxants will not affect the comfort of the patient and the procedure, but will increase the surgical time and surgical satisfaction.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Difficulty of Laryngoscopy during intubation after induction of anesthesia The Helbo-Hansen scoring system-Steyn Modification will be used to determine the quality of laryngoscopy.
Helbo-Hensen et al. with Steyn modification includes five criteria; ease of laryngoscopy, degree of coughing, position of vocal cords, jaw relaxation, and limb movement and graded on a 4-point scale.Total score of 5 will considere to be excellent, 6-10 good, 11-15 poor, and 16-20 bad. Total scores will divide into clinically acceptable and not acceptable scores (total score ≤ 10 acceptable, \>10 unacceptable).Difficulty of Intubation during intubation after induction of anesthesia The intubation difficulty scale (IDS) of patients will be used to determine the difficulty of intubation during laryngoscopy, and the Helbo-Hansen scoring system-Steyn Modification will be used to determine the quality of laryngoscopy.
Intubation Difficulty Scale (IDS) score, which is a function of seven parameters, resulting in a progressive, quantitative determination of intubation complexity.
intubation difficulty may be defined as a measure of the degree of divergence from a predefined "ideal" intubation, i.e., one performed without effort, on the first attempt, practiced by one operator, using one technique, with full visualization of the laryngeal aperture and vocal cords abducted. Such an intubation is accorded an IDS value of 0. Each variation from this defined "ideal" intubation increases the degree of difficulty, the overall score being the sum of all variations from this definition. Impossible intubation is defined by infinity (IDS =\[infinity\]).Number of Intubation Attempts during intubation after induction of anesthesia] The number of intubation attempts between both groups will be recorded. that patients are intubated will be confirmed by the presence of end tidal carbon dioxide.
