Comparison of Different Tools Inserted Nasal Endotracheal Tube

A Comparson Among the Use of Direct Laryngoscope.AirwayScope and GlideScope in General Anesthetized Patients Who Require Nasal Endotracheal Tube Intubation

Nasotracheal intubation (NTI) is usually required in patients undergoing maxillofacial surgery. Though video-scopes have been demonstrated to well perform in oral endotracheal intubation, limited information presents in NTI. The aim of the study is to compare the efficacy of video-scopes in NTI and compared with the traditional direct laryngoscope.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
number of the patients with successful nasotracheal intubation and scoring difficult intubation scale
Time Frame: half an hour
Nasotracheal intubation assisted by a video-stylet may be performed in patients following induction of anesthesia (fentanyl 2 micro-gram/kg, thiamylal 5 mg/kg, cis-atracurium 0.2 mg/kg and propofol 1 mg/kg)
half an hour

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
time to intubate
Time Frame: 10 minutes
time of Intubating the nasotracheal tube (NT) from selected nostril to trachea is continuously calculated but separately into two parts. part one: from termination of mask ventilation and mask removed from face, to the NT tip on the nasopharynx. part two: advancing NT from nasopharynx, through vocal cord into trachea, to present of 3 end tidal carbon dioxide waveforms.
10 minutes

Other Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
postoperative nasal bleeding, sore throat and hoarseness
Time Frame: 2 days
Events of intubating related nasal bleeding are recorded on selected nostril and oral cavity at 3 minutes post-intubation and post-operatively. Incidences of sore throat and hoarseness are evaluated before patients out of recovery room and the following morning
2 days
