NCT04205253

Brief Summary

This study aimed to detect tongue edema associated with the pressure exerted by a rigid direct laryngoscope by measuring the tongue area using USG in patients undergoing suspension laryngoscopy (SL) procedures.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Rate of change in tongue area.

    This study aimed to measure the change in tongue areas before and after the implementation of rigid direct laryngoscope by using ultrasonography imaging.

    2018-2019 (6 months)

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Rate of formation in tongue edema.

    2018 (6 months)

Study Arms (2)

Study

The first group is the study group. Patients aged 20 years or older and were to undergo suspension laryngoscopy procedure were eligible for inclusion in this group. Tongue areas were measured twice by submental USG. The first measurements (TA1) were done immediately after endotracheal intubation before introducing the rigid direct laryngoscope, whereas the second measurements (TA2) were done after the SL procedure and after removing the rigid direct laryngoscope just before extubation.The difference between TA2 and TA1 (i.e., TA2-TA1) were used to define the occurrence of tongue edema as study group.

Diagnostic Test: Ultrasonography imaging

Control

The second group was the control group, which included patients who did not need SL and any head and neck procedures.The tongue areas of these patients were measured twice by submental USG as in the study group. The TA1 measurements were done immediately after endotracheal intubation, whereas the TA2 measurements were done at the end of the surgical procedure just before extubation. The difference between TA2 and TA1 (i.e., TA2-TA1) were used to define the occurrence of tongue edema as study group.

Diagnostic Test: Ultrasonography imaging

Interventions

This study aimed to evaluate the tongue areas and compare the tongue areas before the implementation of rigid direct laryngoscope and after the rigid direct laryngoscope.
