Airway Complication of Anesthesia, Intubation;Difficult
Conditions
Keywords
intubation, epiglottis lift, hold high position
Brief summary
To investigate which shapes of stylet, hand techniques and possible condition that improve intubation successful rate and reduce the elapsed intubation time.
Detailed description
Challenging airway is always a big issue in emergency room. However, better hand technique, stylet shapes and conditions affecting intubation successful rate, elapsed duration need further investigations. We compare two endotracheal tube holding position, two holding places, with or without epiglottis lift technique in this study. All intubation processes in the study will be recorded.
Interventions
two types of holding positions plus two types of shapes of stylet, with or without epiglottis lift

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| intubation successful rate | through study completion, and average of 15minutes | intubation more than 90 seconds considered as a failed intubation |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| intubation elapsed time | through study completion, and average of 15minutes | from insertion of endotracheal to the tube until proper placement of endotracheal tube |
| insertion elapsed time | through study completion, and average of 15minutes | from proper glottic view to the tube until proper placement of endotracheal tube |
| difficulty of intubation | through study completion, and average of 15minutes | Visual Analogue Scale with a 10cm bar |
