Comparison of Different Tools Inserted Nasal Endotracheal Tube

Nasotracheal intubation (NTI) is usually required in patients undergoing maxillofacial surgery. Though video-scopes have been demonstrated to well perform in oral endotracheal intubation, limited information presents in NTI. The aim of the study is to compare the efficacy of video-scopes in NTI and compared with the traditional direct laryngoscope.

Glidescope

Device

the device is to assist the nasotracheal tube into trachea

Primary outcomes

  1. number of the patients with successful nasotracheal intubation and scoring difficult intubation scale

    Time frame: half an hour

    Nasotracheal intubation assisted by a video-stylet may be performed in patients following induction of anesthesia (fentanyl 2 micro-gram/kg, thiamylal 5 mg/kg, cis-atracurium 0.2 mg/kg and propofol 1 mg/kg)

Secondary outcomes

  1. time to intubate

    Time frame: 10 minutes

    time of Intubating the nasotracheal tube (NT) from selected nostril to trachea is continuously calculated but separately into two parts. part one: from termination of mask ventilation and mask removed from face, to the NT tip on the nasopharynx. part two: advancing NT from nasopharynx, through vocal cord into trachea, to present of 3 end tidal carbon dioxide waveforms.

Other outcomes

  1. postoperative nasal bleeding, sore throat and hoarseness

    Time frame: 2 days

    Events of intubating related nasal bleeding are recorded on selected nostril and oral cavity at 3 minutes post-intubation and post-operatively. Incidences of sore throat and hoarseness are evaluated before patients out of recovery room and the following morning
