Semiprone position is superior to supine position for paediatric endotracheal intubation during massive regurgitation, a randomized crossover simulation trial
BACKGROUND Endotracheal intubation of patients with massive regurgitation represents a challenge in emergency airway management. Gastric contents tend to block suction catheters, and few treatment alternatives exist. Based on a technique that was successfully applied in our district, we wanted to examine if endotracheal intubation would be easier and quicker to perform when the patient is turne...
متن کاملTHE EFFECT OF CHANGE IN POSITION ON INTRATRACHEAL CUFF PRESSURE IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING SURGERY WITH GENERAL ANESTHESIA: A PROSPECTIVE ANALYTICAL STUDY
Background & Aims: Tracheal intubation with a cuffed tube for the administration of general anesthesia is routine. The cuff of the endotracheal tube is inflated with air to achieve an adequate seal to prevent aspiration and leakage of air and anesthetic gases. Whereas over-inflation can decrease the mucosal perfusion, leading to pressure necrosis and nerve palsies. This study aimed to evaluate ...
متن کاملVideolaryngoscopic endotracheal intubation (GlideScope) of morbidly obese patients in semi-erect position: a comparison with rapid sequence induction in supine position.
BACKGROUND In regards to peri-anesthetic morbidity considerations, morbidly obese patients often have full stomach for extended periods secondary to delayed gastric emptying. Additionally, they may have difficulty lying supine because of multiple reasons. STUDY OBJECTIVES The purpose of the study was to compare endotracheal intubation of morbidly obese patients placed in semi-erect position w...
متن کاملComparison of the Effects of Supine and Prone Positions on Oxygen Saturation and Vital Signs in Premature Infants: A Crossover Clinical Trial
Background: Positioning of premature newborns significantly affects their health status. However, the most suitable position remains controversial. The current study aimed to compare the effect of supine and prone positions on oxygen saturation and vital signs in premature newborns. Methods: In this crossover clinical trial, a total of 22 new...
متن کاملEffects of an elevated position on time to tracheal intubation by novice intubators using Macintosh laryngoscopy or videolaryngoscopy: randomized crossover trial
OBJECTIVE To investigate the time to tracheal intubation using Glidescope videolaryngoscopy (GVL) compared to that of standard laryngoscopy, by using a Macintosh blade (SLM) in a human patient simulator in supine and elevated (ramped) positions. METHODS In this randomized crossover design, novice intubators (first-year medical students), using both laryngoscopic techniques, attempted tracheal...
