Evaluation of Preoperative Nasoendoscopy to Predict Difficult Intubation

NCT05043779 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 30

Last updated 2021-09-14

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Despite the availability of different methods for airway assessment, unexpectedly difficult intubations occur at a frequency of up to 15%. A variety of pre-intubation clinical screening tests have been advocated to predict difficult laryngoscopy and airway but their usefulness is limited in obese patients.

Could awake invasive airway assessment be more predictive for difficult airways in obese patients? The use of nasendoscopy assessment for the airway could be a useful additional invasive tool to predict the difficult airway in obese
