Summary

to compare either using conventional jaw thrust technique or with a novel fingers-hook technique to facilitate video-stylet assisted nasotracheal intubation

Detailed description

It is necessary to adequately exposure of glottis during naso-tracheal intubation using video-stylet. However, inadequate upward epiglottis or over-elevation of arytenoids all inhibit the tube tip smoothly into trachea. Therefore, the study is to investigate either jaw thrust or fingers-hook technique is advantages of nasotracheal intubation.

Conditions

• Nasotracheal Intubation

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Conventional Jaw thrust Group	a video-stylet assisted nasotracheal intubation and facilitate by conventional jaw thrust technique
PROCEDURE	Fingers hook Group	a video-stylet assisted nasotracheal intubation and facilitate by fingers-hook technique
