Establishing a Definitive Airway: A Comparison of Direct Laryngoscopy With Blind Intubation Via Intubating Laryngeal Tube Suction Disposable

Brief Summary

Detailed Description

Control the airways and respiration are an important part of treatment for a trauma casualty. Tracheal intubation an action that allows the insertion of a tube through the vocal cords and fixation by the balloon inflation is a definitive airway. Tracheal intubation is usually achieved by a direct laryngoscope. This method is taught both in the training of doctors and paramedics training. Although it is an effective method requires experience and skill demanding a long learning time The use of the Laryngeal Tube Suction for fast control of the airway is known for many years. The Laryngeal Tube Suction and others similar devices are known as Supraglottic Airway Devices and are inserted blind in the oropharynx and allow a fast oxygenation and ventilation of the patients. The new generation of these devices allows perform blind intubation directly through a special channel. One of these devices is the Intubating Laryngeal Tube Suction The aim of this study is to examine the effectiveness of the Intubating Laryngeal Tube Suction to achieve a definitive airway by unskilled practitioners in anesthetized patients with the head in neutral position (trauma model). The hypothesis is that definitive airway obtaining with Intubating Laryngeal Tube Suction will be more success and faster compared to the standard way of direct laryngoscope. If the hypothesis is proven, this research will be very important implications for the management of the airway describing pre-hospital and in particular military scenarios.
