• 1 other identifier: KDAR FN Brno Airway 2018
• Study Type: observational

Brief Summary

The incidence of difficult airway in paediatric population is up-to date not well described. Difficult airway is connected with significant airway-related morbidity and mortality. The majority of difficult airway in paediatric patients should be predictable. The aim of the study is to evaluate the incidence of difficult airway in paediatric patients scheduled for surgery under general anaesthesia and to test the predictability of the set of prediction tests to reveal the patients with high risk of difficult airway.

Conditions

Difficult Airway

Keywords

Airway prediction; Difficult airway

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Incidence of difficult airway in paediatric patients under general anaesthesia

  The incidence of the difficult airway will be evaluated by the anaesthesiologist in the operating room. Difficult airway will be considered as difficult face mask ventilation, difficult intubation (Cormack-Leehane 3 and 4, intubation at 3 and over 3rd attempt), difficult laryngeal mask insertion (more than 2 attempts) and the presence of the cannot intubate - cannot ventilate scenario.

  during anaesthesia induction

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Predictability of difficult airway

  during anaesthesia induction

Study Arms (1)

Paediatric patients at preanaesthetic visi

Difficult airway incidence and prediction:Paediatric patients at preanaesthetic visit scheduled for surgery under general anaesthesia

Diagnostic Test: Difficult airway incidence and prediction

Interventions

Difficult airway incidence and prediction DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Paediatric patients scheduled for surgery under general anaesthesia will be examined and a set up of airway prediction tests will be performed to predict the possibility of difficult airway

Paediatric patients at preanaesthetic visi
