Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The cardiovascular responses to tracheal intubation using a fibreoptic bronchoscope or Macintosh laryngoscope were compared in twenty in-patients and twenty day-stay patients. Within these groups patients were randomly allocated to direct laryngoscopic or fibreoptic bronchoscopic intubation. Arterial blood pressure, heart rate and arterial oxygen saturation were recorded before induction and at one-minute intervals until four minutes after intubation. In both groups both laryngoscopic and bronchoscopic intubation resulted in a significant rise in blood pressure and heart rate. At no stage was there a significant difference in mean blood pressure in either group, or in heart rate in the day-stay patients, between the different methods of intubation. In the in-patients mean heart rate was significantly higher in those patients intubated with the bronchoscope at three and four minutes after intubation. Time taken for intubation was significantly longer in those patients intubated with the bronchoscope. In no patient did the arterial oxygen saturation fall below 98%.
