Utilization of Airway Stabilizing Rod to Assist With Laryngeal Mask Airway Guided Fiberoptic Intubation in Adults With Obesity
Invitation only · Not applicable · 1 countries · Registry ID NCT06916364
What this study is about
The FASTER stabilizing rod offers the distinct advantage of intubating through the laryngeal mask airway with a fiberoptic scope via the FASTER stabilizing rod. The device allows for the provider to insert the endotracheal tube (ETT) with visual confirmation using the fiberoptic scope into the trachea. The device then allows for the laryngeal mask airway to be removed while stabilizing the ETT to ensure the ETT does not get dislodged. The purpose of this protocol is to clinically test the validated prototype that the investigators have built and previously tested in adults with obesity. The primary aims are to evaluate 1) the time to intubation and 2) the number of intubation attempts. The secondary aim is to note any complications from time to intubation to PACU discharge. These complications include: Hypoxemia (10% decrease from baseline for 45 seconds)1 Airway trauma (minor) Esophageal intubation Laryngospasm Bronchospasm Oro-pharyngeal bleeding Arrythmia Emesis Epistaxis Dental damage Post-operative sore throat Post-operative hoarseness Accidental extubation during removal of the LMA.
