The device allows for the provider to insert the endotracheal tube (ETT) with visual confirmation using the fiberoptic scope into the trachea. The device then allows for the laryngeal mask airway to be removed while stabilizing the ETT to ensure the ETT does not get dislodged.\n\nThe purpose of this protocol is to clinically test the validated prototype that the investigators have built and previously tested in adults with obesity.\n\nThe primary aims are to evaluate 1) the time to intubation and 2) the number of intubation attempts. The secondary aim is to note any complications from time to intubation to PACU discharge.\n\nThese complications include: Hypoxemia (10% decrease from baseline for 45 seconds)1 Airway trauma (minor) Esophageal intubation Laryngospasm Bronchospasm Oro-pharyngeal bleeding Arrythmia Emesis Epistaxis Dental damage Post-operative sore throat Post-operative hoarseness Accidental extubation during removal of the LMA.","When a patient cannot be ventilated and\u002For intubated, the guidelines for airway management (ASA difficult airway algorithm) dictate that a laryngeal mask airway (LMA) be used as a rescue device to oxygenate and ventilate the patient. However, an LMA is generally temporary and ultimately needs to be replaced by an endotracheal tube (ETT).\n\nAt present, providers can use an exchange catheter through the LMA to place the ETT. However, all current techniques to place the ETT through the LMA are done WITHOUT direct visualization or the ability to provide oxygenation or ventilation. This has the possibility of either accidental tracheal extubation or esophageal intubation as well as the possibility of causing trauma to the airway, particularly of concern in a patient with a difficulty airway.\n\nTo bridge this gap, the investigators developed an innovative device called the FASTER that would allow for patients (children through adults) to have an ETT placed through the LMA under direct vision and while being able to oxygenate and ventilate, greatly improving safety.\n\nThe first step was to create a prototype that was validated in a mannequin (H-47253 ). Following this validation, the investigators created and successfully performed a feasibility study in children without difficult airway at Texas Children's demonstrating success and no adverse events (H-47253) . Following this feasibility study, and despite the FASTER device being completely external to the patient, given that the study was performed in children, the investigators obtained an IDE from the FDA for study in children specifically with difficulty airways. At present, the investigators have successfully completed an initial study in children (n=20) (H-50120) all with difficulty airways without any adverse events. In this study, children that were previously difficult to intubate having an average of three intubating attempts were intubated in a single attempt in an average of just 66 seconds.\n\nThe objective for this protocol is to demonstrate feasibility in using this device in adult obese patients. In this study, the investigators will be using this device that is completely external to the patient and only in adults (not including any protected classes of patients).\n\nMoreover, in the completed study of children with actual difficulty airways, the investigators demonstrated tremendous success and patient benefit without any adverse events. In this protocol, the investigators will not enroll any patients with difficult airway nor any patients in protected classes.",[18,19],"Adult","Obesity, Morbid",[21,22,23,24],"faster","Laryngeal mask airway guided intubation","Fiberoptic Intubation","Airway Stabilizing Rod","INTERVENTIONAL","DEVICE_FEASIBILITY",[28],"NA",{"count":30,"type":31},20,"ESTIMATED",[33],{"type":34,"name":35,"description":36,"armGroupLabels":37,"otherNames":39},"DEVICE","Fiberoptic Assisted Endotracheal Rod Intubation","Fiberoptic-Assisted Endotracheal Rod for Endotracheal Intubation Through a Supraglottic Airway",[38],"Morbid Obesity",[40],"FASTER",[42,46],{"measure":43,"description":44,"timeFrame":45},"Time to Intubation","Time of disconnecting the circuit from supraglottic airway (SGA) to the presence of end tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) for intubation.","3 minutes",{"measure":47,"description":48,"timeFrame":49},"Number of Intubation Attempts","Defined as failure to capture end tidal carbon dioxide after completion of intubation.","5 minutes",[51],{"measure":52,"description":53,"timeFrame":54},"Complications","These complications include number of participants with\n\n* Hypoxemia (10% decrease from baseline for 45 seconds)\n* Airway trauma (minor)\n* Esophageal intubation\n* Laryngospasm\n* Bronchospasm\n* Oro-pharyngeal bleeding\n* Arrhythmia\n* Emesis\n* Epistaxis\n* Dental damage\n* Post-operative sore throat\n* Post-operative hoarseness\n* Accidental extubation during removal of the LMA","Up to 1 day","ALL","18 Years",null,true,{"inclusion":60,"exclusion":65,"raw_text":71},[61,62,63,64],"Adult (18-64 yrs),","Geriatric (65+ yrs)","BMI \\> 35 kg\u002Fm2","elective surgery requiring intubation",[66,67,68,69,70],"pregnant woman","neonates","children","incarcerated patient","patient refusal","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Adult (18-64 yrs),\n* Geriatric (65+ yrs)\n* BMI \\> 35 kg\u002Fm2\n* elective surgery requiring intubation\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* pregnant woman\n* neonates\n* children\n* incarcerated patient\n* patient refusal",[73,74],"ADULT","OLDER_ADULT",[76],{"facility":77,"city":78,"state":79,"zip":80,"country":81,"geoPoint":82},"Ben Taub General Hospital","Houston","Texas","77030","United States",{"lat":83,"lon":84},29.76328,-95.36327,[],[],[88,92,95,98],{"pmid":89,"type":90,"citation":91},"26956516","BACKGROUND","Kovatsis PG.
