Nasal Intubation Using a Parker Flex-tip Endotracheal Tube With Posteriorly Facing Bevel Compared to a Nasal RAE Tube With Left Facing Bevel: A Randomized Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Nasal Intubation with nasal RAE endotracheal tube and Nasal Intubation with Parker Flex-Tip endotracheal tube for Epistaxis. Completed, enrolled 60 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the degree of epistaxis following nasal intubation with either a nasal endotracheal (RAE) tube with bevel facing left or Parker Flex-Tip endotracheal tube with bevel facing posteriorly The investigators hypothesize that a Parker Flex-Tip endotracheal tube when inserted with bevel facing posteriorly during nasal intubation may reduce the incidence of epistaxis intra and post-operatively. The investigators propose that using this style of endotracheal tube improves patient safety and comfort and facilitates ease and success of nasal intubation.
