Disease relevance of Intubation, Intratracheal

Chemical compound and disease context of Intubation, Intratracheal

• In group 2, clonidine produced a rapid preoperative control of systolic and diastolic BP from 166 +/- 32/95 +/- 14 to 136 +/- 80 +/- 11 (P less than 0.01), was more effective in blunting the reflex tachycardia associated with laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation than lidocaine-fentanyl pretreatment [11].

• Intraocular pressures were recorded in two series of fifteen patients after the administration of suxamethonium and endotracheal intubation [17].
• An initial dose of atracurium 0.5 mg kg-1 proved to be clinically acceptable, giving good conditions for endotracheal intubation and adequate muscle relaxation for about 40 min [18].
• By multiple regression, priority of operation (p = 0.03), congestive failure (p = 0.02), and previous cardiac operation (p = 0.005) among preoperative risks and bleeding, reduced cardiac output, stroke, coma, and MB fraction of creatine kinase released postoperatively (p < 0.001 each) predicted longer duration of endotracheal intubation [19].
• A 56-year-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) suddenly developed severe respiratory distress and laryngeal stridor, which required endotracheal intubation [20].

Anatomical context of Intubation, Intratracheal

• After general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation, placement of a radial artery catheter, and pretreatment with glycopyrrolate, remifentanil 2, 5, 15, or 30 micrograms/kg (six patients, three male and three female per group) was administered over 1 min [21].
• If the caliber reduction ratio (X) after endotracheal intubation is calculated as X = radius of the endotracheal tube (rETT)/radius of the trachea (rT), then DeltaP and/or R will be increased by (1/X)(5) [22].
• After induction of anesthesia and endotracheal intubation, the ulnar nerve was stimulated with train-of-four (TOF) stimuli at 12-s intervals [23].
