Comparison of Heart Rate Variability Among Tracheal Intubation Methods

NCT00778219 | Completed DMC

• 1 other identifier: 200808060R
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 60
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

60 patients, in three group of 20 patients each, scheduled for surgery needing general anesthesia will be researched. Group A: tracheal intubation of single lumen tube using laryngoscope. Group B: single lumen tube using lightwand. Group C: double lumen endobronchial cath. During general anesthesia, the spectral power of heart rate variability at three periods: (1) preoperation baseline (2) pre-intubation and (3) post-intubation will be calculated and compared to investigate the autonomic stimulation effect of different tracheal intubation methods.
