An interventional study of Introducing five different treating adaptations in Airway Complications, sponsored by Insel Gruppe AG, University Hospital Bern. Completed at 1 site in Switzerland. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2016-11-10.
Sponsored by Insel Gruppe AG, University Hospital Bern · Not applicable, Interventional, and Prevention
The purpose of this study is to determine if five simple adaptations in airway management of patients undergoing general anaesthesia can reduce minor and major airway complications.
After a first detection of causes of airway complications during general anaesthesia investigators initiated five different interventions in airway management, which were: immediate bag-valve mask ventilation after administering of muscle relaxants, optimized preoxygenation, introducing of a preinterventional checklist, increased usage of video laryngoscopy and immediate change of provider in case of failed intubation.
In a second phase of this observational study investigators want to evaluate if these five interventions can reduce minor and major airway complications during general anaesthesia.
Additionally, investigators want to record how many critical incidents (CIRS) occur during this observational period and how many of them will be reported by the involved stuff.
Insel Gruppe AG, University Hospital Bern is the lead sponsor of 724 studies on the registry; 177 are open to participants now.
Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
Exclusion Criteria:
Only observational activity for this arm, to record the frequency and triggering factors of airway complications during general anaesthesia.
After introducing five different treating adaptations in airway management we want to record the frequency of airway complications during general anaesthesia.
Procedure: Introducing five different treating adaptations
Immediate Bag-valve mask ventilation after administering of muscle relaxants, optimized preoxygenation, introducing of a preinterventional checklist, increased usage of video laryngoscopy and immediate hand alternately if frustrated intubation.
