Conditions

Performance of airway device Paralyzed and intubated patients for surgery without predictors of a difficult airway

Summary

This trial compares intubation times and characteristics of using conventional direct Macintosh laryngoscopy vs. the novel KingVision videolaryngoscope to intubate the tracheas of 60 patients with normal airways.

Mallampati 1-2, thyromental distance greater than or equal to 6.5 cm, sternomental distance greater than or equal to 12.5cm, interincisor distance greater than or equal to 4cm, ability to prognath, and normal head/neck movement) scheduled for gynaecological, breast or plastic reconstructive surgery at our women’s hospital.

Exclusion Criteria1

Patients with previously documented difficult tracheal intubation, the morbidly obese (BMI > 40), those with a hiatus hernia, suffering symptomatic gastroesophageal reflux, and those at high risk of regurgitation or aspiration.
