Title: Endotracheal Intubation Under Fiberoptic Bronchoscope Through Mouth in Severe Respiratory Failure
Abstract: Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of endotracheal intubation under fiberoptic bronchoscope through mouth in severe respiratory failure.Methods:Two hundreds and thirty-seven cases of severe respiratory failure were divided into two groups at random(fiberoptic bronchoscope group and laryngoscope group),125 cases were intubated through mouth under fiberoptic bronchoscope,the others were intubated through mouth by laryngoscope.Results: The successful rates of endotracheal intubation were 98.4% and 92.0% in two groups respectively(P 0.05),the mean intubation time were(6.13±3.91) min and(9.26±4.15) min respectively(P 0.05),4 cases in fiberoptic bronchoscope group appeared a little blood in throat,the complication rate was 3.2%.12 cases in the laryngoscope group had complications,the complication rate was 10.7%(P 0.05).Among it,6 cases had the injury of tooth,tongue,gullet and larynx.The cases of reflex-vomiting were 2,pulmonary ventilation by single lung were 1,intubation in esophagus were 2,cardiopulmonary arrest were 1.Conclusions: Endotracheal intubation under fiberoptic bronchoscope through mouth was accurate,the fewer complications and effective for patients,and could be used widely in clinical applications.
