Among the three intubation techniques/tube materials for nasotracheal intubation, the velvet-soft PVC tube provided the highest first-attempt success rate, most expeditious advancement into the oral cavity, and lowest incidence of epistaxis.
Study context
- Population
- Adults scheduled for elective surgery requiring nasotracheal intubation for GA
- Participants
- 149 adults
- Comparison
- V vs P
- Primary endpoint
- First-attempt success rate of tube advancement into the oral cavity
Primary result
As reported in the abstract
OR for first-attempt success
6.5
95% CI 2.2–19.2
By group
V vs P
OR for first-attempt success 6.5 (95% CI 2.2–19.2)
Secondary outcomes
Time required for tube advancement into the oral cavity — V vs PR · significantly shorter in V
(95% CI 17–30)
