Brief Summary

When difficult airway/intubation occurs in the OR the anesthesiologist needs rescue techniques and equipment. The algorithms about management of the difficult airway don't provide adequate data. In current study researchers aim to determine most preferred rescue techniques and success rate of the chosen technique.

Conditions

Difficult Intubation; Difficult Airway

Keywords

difficult airway; difficult intubation; videolaryngoscope; exchange catheter; fiberoptic bronchoscope; Laryngeal subglottic airway device; tracheostomy

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• which rescue technique will be chosen by the anesthesiologist after failed direct laryngoscopy

  In case of a difficult airway situation after anesthesia induction patients will be enrolled to the study. Researchers will observe the case and record the chosen rescue technique such as video laryngoscope, supraglottic airway device, fiberoptic intubation or tracheostomy. Here the researchers aim to observe the preferred rescue method of providing an intact airway.

  Participants will be followed for the duration of anesthesia and after induction, an expected average of 1 hour

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• the success rate of chosen technique for providing an intact airway

  Participants will be followed for the duration of anesthesia and after induction, an expected average of 1 hour

• Complications due to intubation

  Participants will be followed for the duration of anesthesia and after induction, an expected average of 12 hour

• Determination of the most preferred rescue technique for the anesthesiologists during difficult airway management.

  Participants will be followed for the duration of anesthesia and after induction, an expected average of 1 hour

Study Arms (1)

Difficult intubation,

Patients who underwent surgery under general anesthesia will be follow up. Patients predicted difficult intubation/airway or established difficult intubation/airway after anesthesia induction will be included. Which rescue technique will be used after unsuccessful direct laryngoscopy will be recorded.

Device: rescue technique

Interventions

rescue technique DEVICE

which rescue technique will be preferred while established/predicted difficult airway/intubation occurs in the operation room after failed direct laryngoscopy

Difficult intubation,
