Summary

A randomized controlled study to evaluate different Techniques and Approachs for the Exchange of a tracheal tube or supraglottic airway device in a Simulator

Detailed description

Exchanging a tracheal tube (ETT) in the high-risk difficult airway patient carries the risk of hypoxemia and the potential of a lost airway. Maintaining continuous airway access during the exchange by incorporating an airway exchange catheter (AEC) or similar device may reliably lessen exchange risk, especially in the known or suspected difficult airway patient, by providing a conduit to facilitate ETT passage into the trachea. We evaluated some approven / etablished techniques in a Simulator based study design.

Conditions

• Airway Morbidity

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Prone Position	In a randomized order we evaluate techniques for securing the airway in paralyzed patients in prone position
DEVICE	Laryngeal tube	In a randomized order we evaluate techniques for securing the airway in patients with a failed laryngeal tube
DEVICE	Endotracheal tube Leackage	In a randomized order we evaluate techniques for securing the airway in paralyzed patients with a endotracheal tube and a cuff leackage
