Effectiveness of Ventilation via an Endotracheal Tube in Pharynx Versus a Facemask in Patients With Potentially Difficult Airway: A Randomized, Crossover, and Blind Trial
Authors' conclusion
The success rates of TTIP and mask ventilation are comparable.
Study context
- Population
- Patients with potentially difficult airways, after induction136 analysed
- Participants
- 147 patients
- Comparison
- Ventilation via endotracheal tube in pharynx vs facemask
- Primary endpoint
- Overall ventilation success rate (presence of expired carbon dioxide)
Methodological detailscrossover, blind, Pressure control ventilation, peak inspiratory pressure 20 cmH 2 O, I:E 1:2, RR 10 breaths/min
- Crossover
