Title: Application of nasal endotracheal intubation guided by ultrathin fibreoptic bronchoscope in awake patients with respiratory failure
Abstract: Objective To evaluate the application of nasal endotracheal intubation guided by ultrathin fibreoptic bronchoscope in awake patients with respiratory failure.Methods 105 awake patients with respiratory failure were ventilated by respiratory machine through nasal endotracheal intubation guided by ultrathin fibreoptic bronchoscope.102 awake patients with respiratory failure were ventilated by respiratory machine through nasal endotracheal intubation guided by fibreoptic bronchoscope.The successful rate and complications were compared between two groups.Results The successful rate of nasal endotracheal intubation in ultrathin fibreoptic bronchoscope group was higher than that in the control group (100.0% vs 73.5%,x2=31.96,P <0.05).Nasal bleeding rate in ultrathin fibreoptic bronchoscope group was lower than that in the control group (5.7% vs 20.0%,x2=8.66,P <0.05).Conclusions Application of nasal endotracheal intubation guided by ultrathin fibreoptic bronchoscope plays an important role in treatment of awake patients with respiratory failure.It is safe and rapid with high successful rate,so it should be popularized in clinical practices.
