Brief Summary   Imagine you or a loved one needs surgery under general anesthesia. During the procedure, a crucial step is placing a breathing tube into the windpipe to ensure you receive oxygen and can breathe safely throughout, till your recovery from general anesthesia. This process, called tracheal intubation, is the worldwide standard of care for major surgeries under general anesthesia. However, there’s a risk of stomach contents entering your lungs during
this process, which can be dangerous and life-threatening. Fasting before surgery greatly reduces this risk. However, even with proper fasting before surgery, many patients are still at risk due to various underlying diseases. Patients requiring emergency surgery with a full stomach face the same risk.
Our study aims to investigate a safer approach to tracheal intubation. We’re examining a method called video-bronchoscopic awake tracheal intubation. This technique involves using a small camera to guide tracheal tube placement while the patient is awake. Many anesthesiologists currently use this technique, but it’s not yet widely adopted for this scenario. By performing this procedure with the patient awake, under direct vision, without
sedation, and after numbing the throat with a local anesthetic solution, we can eliminate the risk of stomach contents entering the lungs during intubation. Conducting an experimental study to compare this technique with the conventional one would be ethically problematic.
We’ll analyze the real-world data of our Institute from past surgeries to measure the effectiveness, safety and feasibility of this approach in a medical team with diverse levels of experience. We shall assess any immediate or delayed complications recorded in the patient’s medical records related to the procedure or stomach contents entering the lungs under anesthesia.
While participants won’t directly benefit from this study of existing medical records, the insights gained will contribute to safer surgeries under general anesthesia for patients at risk of aspiration during tracheal intubation.
Patient privacy and confidentiality are our top priorities. Since we’re using existing medical records and not contacting patients for follow-up, we won’t need to obtain consent. We shall ensure that the information collected is used responsibly and securely, maintaining the privacy of patients’ clinical data.
