Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialHemodynamic and bispectral index responses to tracheal intubation during isoflurane or sevoflurane anesthesia.
The effects of volatile anesthetics on change in the bispectral index (BIS) due to tracheal intubation are unclear. We investigated hemodynamic and BIS responses to intubation during isoflurane or sevoflurane anesthesia. ⋯ Anesthesia with 2 MAC of isoflurane and sevoflurane was effective to suppress the change in BIS due to intubation but was not sufficient to prevent changes in hemodynamic responses.

Survey of patients whose lungs could not be ventilated and whose trachea could not be intubated in university hospitals in Japan.
We conducted a survey to clarify the actual circumstances in which the lungs could not be ventilated and the trachea could not be intubated (CVCI). ⋯ This survey demonstrates that CVCI can occur in any situation in which the airway is not established. Furthermore, effective treatments may be different depending on the situation, and delayed recognition of tracheal tube misplacement may lead to a serious outcome.
