Brief Summary

In this study, the authors aim to investigate the effect of adding jaw thrust maneuver on time to successful orotracheal fiberoptic intubation of pediatrics during resident training program.

Conditions

Intubation

Keywords

fiberoptic; intubation; children; training

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• time to successful endotracheal tube insertion

  time to successful endotracheal tube insertion (defined as time from face mask removal until direct visualization of the ETT in the trachea by the fiberscope after sliding of the ETT over the fiberscope).

  3 minutes

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Number of attempts to successful intubation

  3 minutes

• Complication

  3 minutes

Study Arms (2)

Group jaw thrust

EXPERIMENTAL

will include the children who will receive jaw thrusting during fiberoptic intubation.

Procedure: jaw thrust

Group control

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

will include the children who will not receive jaw thrusting (just sub laxed open mouth)

Procedure: control (sub laxed jaw)

Interventions
