Conditions

Hoarseness, Intubation, Sorethroat

Brief summary

Lightwand is a useful alternative device for intubation but scooping movement can induce damage and microbleeding of oral mucosa, postoperative hoarseness,sore throat. Optiscope is rigid video stylet which has camera on distal tip of device. In many previous studies, rigid video stylet has proven advantages compared with other intubating devices.

Interventions

DEVICEConventional lightwand intubation

Conventional lightwand intubation technique will perform during intubation

Rigid video stylet will inserted through endotracheal tube before induction. After induction with propofol and remifentanil using TIVA infusion pump, rocuronium 0.6mg/kg were used to facilitate intubation. After 2minutes, board-certificated anesthesiologist perform intubation using Optiscope.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Primary success rate of intubationwithin 90 sec from insertion of devicecompare primary success rate of intubation using Optiscope with lightwand intubation

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Intubation timewithin 90 seconds from insertion of deviceCheck the intubation time (sec) Intubation time defines from insertion of device to oral cavity of patients to confirm successful intubation
postoperative complicationsDuring PACU stay time expected up to 1hrcheck the postoperative hoarseness, sorethroat and using numeric rating scale (0-10 point) we checked sorethroat score
hemodynamic changebaseline and 1minute after intubationcheck the changes of mean blood pressure, heart rate, pulse oximetry before and after intubation
number of intubation trial and scooping movementsduring intubation time, an expected average of 1minuteCheck the number of intubation tiral and scooping movements during intubation
