Finding the best angle to save a breath
NCT ID NCT05671978
Summary
This study aimed to find the best head position to make placing a breathing tube easier when a patient's neck cannot be moved, simulating a difficult airway. Researchers compared a flat 'neutral' position to a 'head-elevated' position in 182 patients undergoing elective surgery. They used a special video scope to see if elevating the head made guiding the tube into the windpipe quicker and more successful.
