About this study

Official title: Using Cone Beam Computed Tomography For Appropriate Nostril Selection In Nasotracheal Intubation

Design: Nasotracheal intubation is a standard blind procedure associated with various complications. Selection of the appropriate nostril is crucial in preventing most of these complications. The investigators aimed to evaluate the contribution of CBCT findings in selecting the proper nostril for nasotracheal intubation.

Methods: This prospective observational study outlines the protocol for research conducted at the Selçuk University Faculty of Dentistry.

Scope of the Research: The study encompasses patients undergoing dental surgery under general anesthesia at the Selçuk University Faculty of Dentistry.

  1. Participant Selection: ASA I-II patients will be included in the study. Patients with structural abnormalities in the maxillo-mandibular anatomy, limited mouth opening, comorbidities such as rheumatoid arthritis, and a history of epistaxis will be excluded from the study.
  2. Anesthesia Method: General anesthesia induction will be performed with intravenous (IV) propofol, IV rocuronium bromide, and IV fentanyl. Transition to nasotracheal intubation will follow adequate mask ventilation, and the preferred nostril will be determined through a simple occlusion test.
  3. Data Collection: Demographic data, accompanying illnesses, medications used, and various parameters related to nasotracheal intubation will be recorded. The anesthetist performing nasotracheal intubation will be blinded to CBCT data, and the evaluation of data will be conducted jointly by the anesthetist and Radiology specialist after data collection from all patients is complete.
  4. Exclusion Criteria: Unsuccessful nasotracheal intubation, difficult mask, and/or difficult intubation.
  5. Implementation and Evaluation: Anesthesia procedures and CBCT evaluations will be carried out by experienced specialists.
  6. The objective of this study is to evaluate the use of preoperative measurements of the nasal cavity from CBCT images in selecting the appropriate nostril for nasotracheal intubation under general anesthesia. The statistical tests to be employed are the chi-squared test and independent samples t-test.
Read the detailed description

The goal of this prospective observational study is the contribution of CBCT findings in selecting the proper nostril for nasotracheal intubation. The main question it aim to answer is:

  1. Can pre-operative evaluations of participiants' nasal cavity by using CBCT aid anesthetists for selecting the appropriate nostril for nasotracheal intubation? The participants will be informed both through a written consent form, and verbally that they would be participating in the observational study, and that apart from routine procedures, no additional interventions would be performed.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Evaluation the use of preoperative measurements of the nasal cavity from CBCT images in selecting the appropriate nostril for nasotracheal intubation under general anesthesia.

    The proper selection of the nostril is crucial in preventing complications such as bleeding associated with nasotracheal intubation. In this regard, we investigated the potential utility of Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), a commonly available imaging method in dental hospitals, as an assisting tool for anesthetists.

    Measured: 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Intubation; Difficult or Failed and Intubation Complication, run by Selcuk University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Apr 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Evaluation the use of preoperative measurements of the nasal cavity from CBCT images in selecting the appropriate nostril for nasotracheal intubation under general anesthesia. (time frame: 4 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Apr 2024.
