Bougie Assisted Endotracheal Intubation in Air-Q Intubating Laryngeal Mask And Fastrach Intubating Laryngeal Mask

Suez Canal University62 enrolled

Overview

This study aims to compare using bougie as an assistant for endotracheal intubation through Air-Q and Fastrach intubating laryngeal mask devices when blind intubation fails as attempt to increase its success rate.

The investigators hypothesis that using bougie with its smaller caliber or lesser size can facilitate intubation and improve success rate when blind intubation through both devices fails. Study objectives * To make a comparison between Air-Q intubating laryngeal mask and Fastrach intubating laryngeal mask by using bougie assisted endotracheal intubation through both devices in patients undergoing elective surgeries in Suez Canal Hospitals. * To assess the first trial success rate, the total success rate, time to tracheal intubation, the number of attempts, hemodynamics and adverse events.

Interventions

Endotracheal tube introducersDEVICE

Endotracheal tube introducers (gum elastic bougie) for emergency intubation The endotracheal tube introducer (ETI) is an effective and inexpensive adjunct to difficult airway management that is easy to use. ETI is solid introducer 60-70 cm long with a 35 - 40 distally angulated (Coude) tip. They are easy to use, widely available, and have been used as adjuncts to difficult direct laryngoscopy for many decades. The gum elastic bougie is usually guided by tactile clicks as the device passes the cartilage rings of the trachea. After Supraglottic devices are removed, an ETT can subsequently be railroaded over the bougie.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

success rate of endotracheal intubation on the first, second and third attempts in both devices Air-Q and fastrach

If the blind intubation is failed through Air Q or Fastrack Intubating laryngeal mask the investigator will use gum elastic bougie to facilitate introducing an endotracheal tube estimation of success rate of endotracheal intubation on the first, second and third attempts

Time frame: 180 seconds after anethesia induction

The time needed for devices insertion (Air Q and Fastrach Intubating Laryngeal mask)

1. Air Q and Fastrach Intubating laryngeal mask insertion time in seconds will be measured (device time). 2. Endotracheal tube (ETT) insertion time will be measured ( ETT time). 3. Total insertion time will be estimated (Device Time + ETT Time )

Time frame: !80 seconds after anesthesia induction

Secondary Outcomes

Incidence of adverse events

Incidence of adverse events and complications during and after the procedure will be also recorded. Complications, including laryngospasm, bleeding, false passage, and sore throat will be recorded intraoperatively and in the first 48 postoperative hours.

Time frame: Intraoperative and in the first 48 postoperative hours
