Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the education retention effect of endotracheal and laryngeal tube intubation using a manikin study. Methods: The study consisted of measuring intubation time, intubation success rate, and confidence of intubation after education. The evaluation of the education was performed 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 24 weeks after education and skill tests. The study subjects were 48 paramedic students of third and fourth grade. Results: There was no significant difference in endotracheal intubation time but the time spent performing laryngeal tube intubation significantly increased over time (p<.000). The intubation success rate of endotracheal and laryngeal tube intubation was 100% in the $24^{th}$ week, and there was no significant difference in time spent performing the intubation. The students' confidence in endotracheal (p<.023) and laryngeal tube intubation (p<.001) decreased significantly from the second week to the $24^{th}$ week. Conclusion: This study revealed that it is necessary to spend at least 24 weeks to train students endotracheal and laryngeal intubation to improve the students' confidence in performance of intubation.

The trauma has been known as a major etiologic factor in temporomadibular joint disorders. The endotracheal intubation is suspected as one of the traumatic factor to temporomandibular disorder. But there are few reports about the amount of mouth opening during endotracheal intubation and temporomandibular joint disorder after endotracheal intubation. The authors studied the effects of endotracheal intubation to temporomandibular joint with 70 patients given surgical operation through general anesthesia. The results were as follows. 1. The mean amount of mouth opening for entire patients during endotracheal intubation was 26.3mm (s, d : 2.6), for oral intubation group 25.9mm(s, d : 3.2), for nasal intubation group 26.6mm(s, d : 1.9). There was no difference between two group stastically. (p<0.05) 2. 1 week later endotracheal intubation, the maximum mouth opening increased 1.5mm for entire patients, 1.5mm for oral intubation group, 1.6mm for nasal intubation group than behare endotracheal intubation. 3. Five patients complained the discomforts around temporomandibular joint after endotracheal intubation. The amount of mouth opening during endotracheal intubation was within physiologic range. It seemed that $45^{\circ}$ upward endoscopic lifting for exposure of glottis gave trauma to temporomandibular joint.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the factors related to airway failure during endotracheal intubation among patients with and without predicted airway difficulty. Methods: Medical records were examined retrospectively. 329 patients who were admitted to the general ward and underwent endotracheal intubation were included. The incidence of airway failure in the two groups was investigated. Results: The group predicted to have airway difficulty consisted of 79 patients (24.0%) and the group without airway difficulty, 250 (76.0%). The number of cases of airway failure was 50 (15.2%). The factors that were associated with airway failure in the group with predicted airway difficulty were the jaw relaxation score, Cormack-Lehane score, and the device of the first endotracheal intubation attempt. The factors that were associated with the airway failure in the group predicted not to have airway difficulty were the induction agent, jaw relaxation score, Cormack-Lehane score, level of training of the personnel with the first endotracheal intubation success, and the device of the first endotracheal intubation attempt. Conclusion: The prediction of airway difficulty during endotracheal intubation was not effective; however, it was meaningful from the perspective of patient safety.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to improve airway management ability by comparing the speed, angle of the neck, and confidence and ease of supraglottic airway laryngopharyngeal tube (SALT) and endotracheal intubation via direct laryngoscopy. Methods: The subjects of this experimental research study with a randomized crossover design were 44 emergency medicine technician - paramedics working in the fire department of 'J' - do. SPSS version 19.0 was used in the statistical analysis. Results: Speed and angle of the neck (p<.001), as well as confidence and ease (p<.001), showed significant differences between endotracheal intubation with a SALT and endotracheal intubation via direct laryngoscopy. Conclusion: If endotracheal intubation via direct laryngoscopy is difficult to use or in trauma patients, using a SALT is safe and enables fast intubation. Moreover, in order to improve the efficiency of advanced airway management, the application of SALT should be introduced in the domestic scene.

Background and Objectives : Vocal fold paralysis is an unusual complication following endotracheal intubation. We experienced five cases and analyzed their causes and preventions. Materials and Methods : We reviewed 5 cases of vocal fold paralysis following general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation at Ewha Womans University Hospital from September 1997 to May 1999 retrospectively. Results : Four cases were unilateral vocal fold paralysis(3 cases were left side, 1 case was right side) and a case was bilateral vocal fold paralysis. Conclusion : Vocal fold paralysis following endotracheal intubation is the result of recurrent laryngeal nerve damage. This damage can occur as the result of compressing the anterior branch of recurrent laryngeal nerve between an inflated endotracheal tube cuff and thyroid cartilage. Prevention of this complication lies in eliminating the use of endotracheal tubes with cuff inflated unevenly, desisting from the practice of deliberately placing the cuff within the larynx, and filling the cuff with a sample of the inspired mixture of gases.

Endotracheal intubation is often necessary in the course of animal experiments, especially in craniofacial surgery. However, endotracheal intubation can be a major burden in this context. The authors performed simple and cost-saving method using a 200 µL yellow micropipette tip, and the success of this method was demonstrated by X-ray and autopsy. We used a total of 30 rats. After the rats were fixed with a plaster, the trachea and vocal cords were visualized with the tongue pulled back. Under direct visualization of the vocal cords, a curving micropipette tip was advanced into the trachea. This method can be learned quickly and applied successfully by general experimenters. We successfully intubated all 30 rats without any complications. The success rate of micropipette tip intubation was 100%. This procedure was performed by one experimenter within 2 to 3 minutes after induction of anesthesia. We demonstrated its superiority by X-ray and autopsy. Herein, we describe endotracheal intubation of rats using micropipette tips. To the best of our knowledge, this method is novel and represents the simplest and most efficient means of intubation in rats, providing an alternative to conventional endotracheal intubation.

Perforation of the esophagus is a rare complication of endotracheal intubation and usually occurs after hasty intubation. A 26-year-old female was transferred from other hospital for further management of empyema of the right lung. During admission, the empyema was found due to esophageal perforation, which had developed during the endotracheal intubation after acute poisoning of carbon monooxide 5 dayes prior to the transfer. The em-pyema and the esophageal perforation were successfully managed by conservative measures including effective drainage.

The indication for submandibular intubation is the requirement for intraoperative maxillomandibular fixation (MMF) in the presence of injuries that preclude nasotracheal intubation. Thus, We reported 2 cased of endotracheal intubations via submandibular approach that is applicable in patients with skull base fractures for a reliable general anesthesia. Endotracheal intubation via submandibular approach was applied during general anesthetic procedures for open reduction in three patients with Le Fort II, III or nasoorbitoethmoid (NOE) fractures. No complications due to submandibular intubation, such as infection, postoperative scarring, nerve injury, hematoma, bleeding, or orocutaneous fistula, were observed following submandibular intubation. Endotracheal intubation via submandibular approach is effective in patients with skull base fractures. In our method, the tube connector is removed in orotracheal intubation in order to avoiding the tube removal or displacement. The advantages of this method are very simple, safe, and to provide the good operation field.
