Tokyo, Feb. 17 -- UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN-CTR) received information related to the study (UMIN000060682) titled 'Risk factors associated with epiglottal displacement during tracheal intubation: A multicenter retrospective exploratory analysis' on Feb. 16.

Study Type: Observational

Primary Sponsor: Institute - Wakayama Medical University School of Medicine

Condition: Condition - Patients who participated in the following study and provided consent for the secondary use of their samples and data: Study title:Examining the intubation complications of different glottal elevation techniques using the McGRATH MAC videolaryngoscope.: A multicentre randomized controlled trial Classification by malignancy - Others Genomic information - NO

Objective: Narrative objectives1 - Tracheal intubation is an essential procedure in general anesthesia; however, epiglottal displacement may increase the risk of airway edema, leading to a worsened glottic view during reintubation, difficult intubation, and potential airway injury. Despite these concerns, no studies to date have systematically investigated the incidence of epiglottic downfolding in clinical practice or the patient- and operator-related factors associated with its occurrence. This study aims to identify risk factors associated with the presence or absence of epiglottal displacement during tracheal intubation under general anesthesia. Basic objectives2 - Safety,Efficacy
