Ultrasound Airway Assessment of Critically Ill Preeclamptic; Comparison Between Two Technique

the Preoperative Use of Ultrasound in Airway Assessment in Critically Ill Obstetrics With Pre-eclampsia; Comparison Between Two Ultrasound Techniques in Relation to the Standard Clinical Assessment


Sponsor

Ain Shams University

Enrollment

50 participants

Start Date

Jul 20, 2024

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

Unexpected difficult airway exposes the patient to serious morbidity and even mortality. The changes in pregnancy and preeclampsia increase the risk of difficult intubation. Proper anticipation affects the outcome and enhances safety, especially in critically ill patients. This research aims to assess the superiority of either 2 views or 5 views ultrasound assessment in predictivity of difficult airway (difficult ventilation, laryngoscopy, and intubation) and their comparison to traditional clinical examination by El-Ganzouri Risk Index (EGRI) in critically ill obstetric patients with pre-eclampsia.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is comparing two ultrasound techniques for assessing the airway in critically ill pregnant women with severe high blood pressure (preeclampsia) who need a cesarean section under general anesthesia. The goal is to find the best way to predict and prepare for difficult airway management in these high-risk patients. **You may be eligible if...** - You are a pregnant woman aged 18–60 with severe preeclampsia - You are scheduled for a cesarean section under general anesthesia - You have a single or multiple pregnancy - You are mentally capable of giving consent **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have a known or suspected difficult airway - You have had previous throat or neck surgery - You have certain serious conditions such as cervical spine disease or a neck mass - You have a very high anesthesia risk classification (ASA IV or above) Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
