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.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialHemodynamic and catecholamine responses during tracheal intubation using a lightwand device (Trachlight) in elderly patients with hypertension.
Tracheal intubation using a lightwand device (Trachlight) should minimize hemodynamic change by avoiding direct-vision laryngoscopy. We evaluated hemodynamic and catecholamine responses during tracheal intubation using a Trachlight in elderly patients with hypertension. ⋯ A lightwand has no advantage over a laryngoscope in terms of hemodynamic and plasma catecholamine responses to tracheal intubation in elderly patients with hypertension, despite a shorter intubation time.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialReduction of potential respiratory pathogens by oral hygienic treatment in patients undergoing endotracheal anesthesia.
This study was conducted to evaluate the usefulness of mechanical and chemical prophylactic oral cleansing treatments for reducing potential respiratory pathogens existing in the oral cavity. ⋯ The combination of mechanical and chemical oral cleansing resulted in a significant reduction of potential respiratory pathogens in the oral cavity.
