An observational study in Awake Intubation and Advanced Airway Techniques, sponsored by Kocaeli City Hospital. Completed at 1 site in Turkey. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-01-15.
Sponsored by Kocaeli City Hospital · Observational
In this study, the investigators will evaluate the advanced airway methods applied in the anesthesiology and reanimation clinic of the hospital to patients who met the criteria for awake intubation specified in the ASA 2022 difficult airway management guideline or who could not be intubated after induction of anesthesia in another center. The advanced airway method applied to the difficult airway patient expected in the operating room, the duration, success and complications of the method will be observed and recorded.
Patients who meet the inclusion criteria will be informed about the difficult airway and their verbal and written consent will be obtained.
When participants are taken to the room, an observer will be in the operation room. There was no emergency to the patient's primary anesthesiologist, will not be involved. Record patients' demographic data, Mallampati scores, thyromental distance, and neck circumference.
The airway method preferred by the physician, procedure duration, number of attempts, success, and complications will be recorded.
Kocaeli City Hospital is the lead sponsor of 38 studies on the registry; 16 are open to participants now.
Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
Patients who were previously evaluated for difficult airway criteria and predicted to have a difficult airway or who could not be ventilated or intubated after induction of anesthesia in another center.
Exclusion Criteria:

Comparison of advanced airway methods in the awake patient with difficult airway.
Comparison of the superiority of advanced airway methods applied to the expected difficult airway patient in the operating room. The number of attempts and duration for successful intubation between groups will be examined.
