Study Summary
A nasal endotracheal tube (ETT) is routinely placed in children and a fiberoptic scope (FOS) is commonly used for this purpose. Resistance to the passage of ETT is frequently encountered as it is advanced over the FOS for placement into the trachea, since it gets hung up on structures of the laryngeal inlet. The aim of the investigators study performed on forty children divided in two groups was to study in the pediatric population, whether a 90° counterclockwise rotation (CCR) of the ETT prior to advancing through the larynx, by nasal approach, prevents it from getting hung up at the laryngeal inlet.
Primary Outcome
Definition of resistance to tube advancement (hung-up ETT): Steady but gentle force is generally needed to advance an ETT over the FOS, first through the nose and then into the trachea through the larynx. If the ETT were to pass smoothly no change in force is generally needed as it goes through the larynx. During advancement over the FOS, if ETT came to an abrupt stop and then the same steady force was insufficient to advance the ETT through the larynx it was defined as "hung up".
Interventions
- OTHER Pre-Rotated (Group R)
- OTHER No pre-rotation
