  Purpose

This study is a comparison of two techniques for endotracheal intubation (Glidescope versus Macintosh) in patients with odontogenic abscesses.


Condition Intervention
Odontogenic Abscess
 Device: Glidescope
Device: Macintosh laryngoscope

Study Type: Observational
Study Design: Observational Model: Cohort
Time Perspective: Prospective
Official Title: Intubation of Patients With Odontogenic Abcesses Glidescope vs. Macintosh Technique

Further study details as provided by Kliniken Essen-Mitte:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Success rate of endotracheal intubation [ Time Frame: 18 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Time for intubation [ Time Frame: 18 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • View of the laryngeal entrance (according to the classification of Cormack and Lehane) [ Time Frame: 18 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment: 100
Study Start Date: January 2009
Study Completion Date: June 2011
Primary Completion Date: March 2011 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Groups/Cohorts Assigned Interventions
Glidescope
Patients intubated with the Glidescope technique
 Device: Glidescope
Patients are to be intubated using the Glidescope technique
Macintosh
Patients intubated via the conventional direct laryngoscopy with a Macintosh laryngoscope
 Device: Macintosh laryngoscope
Patients are to be intubated using direct laryngoscopy with a Macintosh laryngoscope

Detailed Description:

Patients with odontogenic abcesses have to be treated by surgical drainage of the abscess under general intubation with endotracheal intubation. Because of a limited mouth opening and swelling within the oral cavity, intubation can be difficult and sometimes impossible with conventional direct laryngoscopy. Therefore, alternative techniques are desirable. We want to compare the success rate of intubation in these patients using the Glidescope technique vs. conventional Macintosh technique.

  Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:   18 Years and older
Genders Eligible for Study:   Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Sampling Method:   Probability Sample
Study Population

We want to study patients, who present with a odontogenic abscess for surgical treatment.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients have to have an abscess which has to be treated surgically.
  • Mouth opening (Inter-incisor gap) has to be less than 3.5 cm and more than 1.4 cm.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Age under 18 years.
