About this study

Patients who undergo oxo-maxillofacial surgery need naso-tracheal intubation to present good surgical view-field. but, sometimes, the naso-tracheal tube is unable to advance from nasopharynx, oropharynx, into trachea without assistance. Using techniques of either Magill forceps or cuff inflation is advantageous is not determined.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • patients with American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I-III
  • aged 20-65 years
  • Requiring Nasotracheal Intubation under general anesthesia
  • unlimited mouth open
  • unlimited neck motion

Exclusion criteria

  • mouth open < 3 cm

Treatment and study plan

Magill forceps

Procedure

Magill forceps techniques to facilitate nasotracheal tube advancement into trachea

cuff inflation

Procedure

cuff inflation techniques to facilitate nasotracheal tube advancement into trachea

Primary outcomes

  1. the technique spending time in this time interval and first attempt successful rate

    Time frame: 10 minutes

    to measure the time taken of either using Magill forceps or with cuff inflation techniques in successfully intubated patients

Secondary outcomes

  1. total intubation time taken

    Time frame: half an hour

    measure the whole intubation time taken from tube tip into selected nostril, to nasopharynx, to oropharynx, into trachea, till capnography showing of 3 consecutive CO2 waveforms

  2. glottic injury and cuff damages during tube advanced

    Time frame: half an hour

    to assess the bleeding point of glottic area and the cuff injury of endotracheal tube

  3. postoperative nasal bleeding, sore throat and hoarseness

    Time frame: 2 days

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