No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Recently, left paratracheal pressure was introduced as an alternative method to prevent pulmonary aspiration instead of cricoid pressure. Criocoid pressure is known to worsen glottic visibility when using Pentax.However, the effects of left paratracheal pressure on glottic view when using Pentax are not studied yet. In this study, the subjects are divided into two groups (group I: left paratracheal pressure applied before intubation, group II: conventional cricoid pressure applied before intubation). Investigators will assess the glottic view during intubation using Pentax.

Conditions

  • Anesthesia
  • Intubation; Difficult or Failed
  • Cricoid Pressure
  • Pulmonary Aspiration During Anesthetic Induction

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Paratracheal pressure

To apply paratracheal pressure, the thumb was placed over the left side of the trachea cephalad to the clavicle and medial to the sternocleidomastoid muscle.

PROCEDURE

Cricoid pressure

To apply cricoid pressure, the crocoid cartilage was compressed with a single-handed three-finger maneuvre towards the vertebral bodies.
