Summary

Patients admitted to Intensive Care Units (ICU) often require respiratory support. Orotracheal intubation is one of the most frequent procedures performed in ICU.When performed in emergency settings, intubation is a challenging issue as it may be associated with life-threatening complications in up to one third of cases

Using a preshaped endotracheal tube plus stylet may have potential advantages over endotracheal tube alone without stylet. The stylet is a rigid but malleable introducer which fits inside the endotracheal tube and allows for manipulation of the tube shape; usually into a hockey stick shape, to facilitate passage of the tube through the laryngeal inlet. The stylet can help to increase success of intubation in operating rooms

Conditions

  • Intubation Complication
  • Critically Ill

Interventions

DEVICE

ENDOTRACHEAL TUBE + STYLET

The experimental group consists in intubating the trachea with an endotracheal tube + stylet with a "straight-to-cuff" shape and a bend angle of 25° to 35°

DEVICE

ENDOTRACHEAL TUBE ALONE

intubating the trachea with an endotracheal tube alone
