Ultrasound Airway Assessment of Critically Ill Preeclamptic; Comparison Between Two Technique
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Critical Illness, Difficult; Intubation, Postpartum, During Puerperium, Pre-Eclampsia
In brief
Unexpected difficult airway exposes the patient to serious morbidity and even mortality. The changes in pregnancy and preeclampsia increase the risk of difficult intubation. Proper anticipation affects the outcome and enhances safety, especially in critically ill patients. This research aims to assess the superiority of either 2 views or 5 views ultrasound assessment in predictivity of difficult airway (difficult ventilation, laryngoscopy, and intubation) and their comparison to traditional clinical examination by El-Ganzouri Risk Index (EGRI) in critically ill obstetric patients with pre-eclampsia.
