A Prospective Randomized Pilot Study to Define and Validate the Standard 'Sniffing Position' in Infants and Toddlers.

Tufts Medical Center·interventional·Posted Jun 1, 2020·Updated Jun 4, 2020

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Airway positioning per specified protocol followed by Direct Laryngoscopy and Endotracheal Intubation and Airway positioning per provider preference followed by Direct Laryngoscopy and Endotracheal Intubation for Airway Management and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 40 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

The "sniffing position" is widely accepted as a favorable position for direct laryngoscopy (DL) in both pediatric and adult patients. External anatomical markers are well documented to confirm proper 'sniffing position' in adults, but data on their use in the pediatric population is sparse. The investigators propose to define these markers in young children and investigate whether patients positioned using this standardized approach have better intubating conditions than those positioned randomly per the preference of the anesthesiologist.
