Novel Airway Device to Aid Endotracheal Intubations

Stopped early · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Intubation Complication, Intubation;Difficult

In brief

Pneumaglide is a device designed to facilitate intubation. Patients who are undergoing a surgical procedure under general anesthesia and will require placement of endotracheal tube will be screened and upon fulfilling the inclusion criteria will be randomized to PneumaGlide group or non-PneumaGlide group. After induction of anesthesia PneumaGlide device will placed in the mouth of the Pneumaglide assigned subject. The time for intubation will be measured from the time that the laryngoscope is inserted into the mouth until the trachea is successfully intubated and compared between the groups. Oxygen saturation drop below 90% and also gastric secretion spillage will be compared between two groups as well.
