Abstract:Objective To evaluate the clinical application and advantages of gastroscope-assisted intubation during intravenous anesthesia.Methods 80 patients who received for endotracheal intubation during painless gastroscopic treatment from January 2018 to December 2019 were divide into the conventional laryngoscope group (n = 40) and the gastroscope-assisted intubation group (n = 40). The success rate of the first time intubation, the tracheal intubation time, haemodynamic events and the complications related intubation in the two groups were recorded.Results The success rate of the first time intubation was significantly higher in gastroscope-assisted intubation group than that in the conventional laryngoscope group (97.50% vs 85.00% P = 0.048). The tracheal intubation time of the gastroscope-assisted intubation group were shorter than that of the conventional laryngoscope group [(32.31 ± 6.05) s vs (50.47 ± 10.47) s, P = 0.000]. Compared with conventional laryngoscope group, the gastroscope-assisted intubation groups with a low incidence of haemodynamic events [High mean arterial pressure (2.6% vs 14.7% P = 0.029), Heartbeat tachycardia (5.1% vs 38.2%, P = 0.000)] and total complication (5.1% vs 23.5%, P = 0.023). The coughs (5.1%) was observed in gastroscope-assisted intubation group, no bleeding symptom of oral mucosa, tooth mobility and hoarse voice were observed, while had no statistical difference compared to conventional laryngoscope group (P = 0.303, P = 0.125, P = 0.281, P = 0.281).Conclusion The application of alternate can improve the success rate of intubation, reduce the time of catheterization, need not postural change and obviously reduce the complications during the operation. Due to the procedures of intubation was assistance by endoscopists, deserving the clinical expansion in digestive endoscopy centers.
