Comparison of Heart Rate Variability Among Tracheal Intubation Methods

NCT00778219 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 60

Last updated 2009-12-15

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

60 patients, in three group of 20 patients each, scheduled for surgery needing general anesthesia will be researched. Group A: tracheal intubation of single lumen tube using laryngoscope. Group B: single lumen tube using lightwand. Group C: double lumen endobronchial cath. During general anesthesia, the spectral power of heart rate variability at three periods: (1) preoperation baseline (2) pre-intubation and (3) post-intubation will be calculated and compared to investigate the autonomic stimulation effect of different tracheal intubation methods.
