Summary

The simple head extension is recommended for optimization of glottic visualization during awake orotracheal intubation whith fiberoptic bronchoscope (FOB) . However, no study to date has confirmed its superiority over "sniffing position" . In a prospective, randomized study, the authors compared the sniffing position , simple head extension and "Neutral Position" in awake orotracheal Intubation.

Conditions

  • Therapeutic Procedural Complication

Interventions

DEVICE

sniffing Position(place a 7-cm cushion under head )

Awake fiberoptic bronchoscope(FOB) orotracheal under sniffing position.The sniffing position was obtained by placement of a 7-cm cushion under the head of the patient. When the FOB was inserted into oral cavity, and the epiglottis and glottis were identified by the FOB. The anterior of FOB was inserted deep into tracheal after the glottis was exposed sufficiently then the tracheal tube was pushed into the trachea via the FOB

DEVICE

Simple Head Extension(without cushion)

Awake fiberoptic bronchoscope(FOB) orotracheal under Head Extension position.The Head Extension position was obtained by simple head extension.When the FOB was inserted into oral cavity, and the epiglottis and glottis were identified by the FOB. The anterior of FOB was inserted deep into tracheal after the glottis was exposed sufficiently then the tracheal tube was pushed into the trachea via the FOB
