Evaluation of the Bonfils Fiberscope for Predicted Difficult Intubation in Awake Patients With Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) Cancer (INVIBO)
Summary
The Bonfils intubation fiberscope (BF), a rigid medical device with a curved tip, is exclusively used in anesthesiology for orotracheal intubation (OTI). The objective of the study was to evaluate the feasibility and the tolerance of an intubation procedure realized by means of the BF (BFI) in awake adult patients with predicted difficult intubation (PDI), in the context of ENT cancer surgery.
The intubation is performed under local anesthesia (either nasal, oral, or intercricothyroidal) and sedation using Remifentanyl (AIVOC) with spontaneous ventilation. The primary endpoint is the rate of BFI meeting quality requirements: the procedure must be both successful (≤ 2 attempts and duration < 180 sec) and well tolerated (Fahey score < 2). The secondary endpoints include the difficulties met by the operator during the BFI and patient's perception of the intubation procedure, evaluated in the recovery room and 7 days after the intervention. Sample size is calculated using a one-stage Fleming design with p0=80%, p1=95%, alpha=5% and 80% power, for a total of 32 evaluable patients.

Endotracheal Intubation Devices
The purpose of this study was to compare the four different intubation devices in 6 different scenarios.
Nowadays, the gold standard for difficult airway management is awake intubation with a flexible fiberscope. Alternatively, when the flexible fiberscope is unable to facilitate tracheal int...
SOS Versus Awake Fiberoptic Intubation
Background: Conventional intubation of the trachea and consequent prone positioning of anaesthetized patients with cervical spine instability may result in secondary neurological injury. H...
Boussignac Valve and Fibroptic Intubation in Morbidly Obese Patients, Can it be a Solution?
In this study, fiberoptic intubation through Boussignac valve, while ventilation of morbidly obese patients is maintained through the ventilator, will be studied. Researchers suggest that ...
Explore the Efficiency of Fiberscope-guided Nasogastric Tube Insertion
For Head and neck cancer and uncooperative patients, blind nasogastric tube (NGT) insertion may sometimes be very difficult because of the anatomical obstructions in the pharynx and uncoor...

Modified fiberscope-guided nasogastric tube insertion: Our experience with 23 patients.
This simple method of fiberscope nasogastric tube (NGT) guidance is possible. This method is suitable for patients who failed with inserting NGT blindly. NGT is attached to the fiberscope by manipulat...
Evaluation of an Intubation Readiness Score to Assess Neonatal Sedation before Intubation.
Premedication for neonatal intubation facilitates the procedure and reduces stress and physiological disturbances. However, no validated scoring system to assess the effect of premedication prior to i...
Navigating Goals of Care While Confronting an Urgent, Difficult Intubation: A Case Report.
Urgent airway management is challenging because time constraints limit thorough evaluation and planning before endotracheal intubation. In this report, we describe a case in which an airway history re...

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Breast Carcinoma In Situ
A condition in which abnormal cells have not spread outside the duct, lobule, or nipple to other tissues of the breast. There are 3 types of breast carcinoma in situ: DUCTAL CARCINOMA IN SITU; LOBULAR CARCINOMA IN SITU; and PAGET DISEASE OF THE NIPPLE
Carcinoma 256, Walker
A transplantable carcinoma of the rat that originally appeared spontaneously in the mammary gland of a pregnant albino rat, and which now resembles a carcinoma in young transplants and a sarcoma in older transplants. (Stedman, 25th ed)
Carcinoma, Endometrioid
An adenocarcinoma characterized by the presence of cells resembling the glandular cells of the ENDOMETRIUM. It is a common histological type of ovarian CARCINOMA and ENDOMETRIAL CARCINOMA. There is a high frequency of co-occurrence of this form of adenocarcinoma in both tissues.
Carcinoma, Non-small-cell Lung
A heterogeneous aggregate of at least three distinct histological types of lung cancer, including SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA; ADENOCARCINOMA; and LARGE CELL CARCINOMA. They are dealt with collectively because of their shared treatment strategy.
Carcinoma, Renal Cell
A heterogeneous group of sporadic or hereditary carcinoma derived from cells of the KIDNEYS. There are several subtypes including the clear cells, the papillary, the chromophobe, the collecting duct, the spindle cells (sarcomatoid), or mixed cell-type carcinoma.
