Camera-based Endoscopy Allows Spontaneous Breathing Diagnostic Management in Neonates With Tracheoesophageal Fistula
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
tracheoscopy performed with rigid optical tracheoscopy: Rigid tracheoscopy is performed with rigid 3.0 or 3.5 mm optical device under general anesthesia and positive pressure ventilation
flexible video endoscopy of trachea: Flexible tracheoscopy is performed with Ambu 2.7 flexible video-endoscopy under sedation in spontaneously breathing neonates
Study summary
The investigators aim to compare rigid tracheoscopy versus flexible tracheo-video-endoscopy in neonates requiring diagnostic assessment before undergoing a congenital tracheoesophageal fistula repair.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Diagnostic success rate of preoperative tracheoscopy — Intraoperative (at the time of the preoperative tracheoscopy procedure)
Percentage of procedures in which the technique allowed correct visualization of the tracheoesophageal fistula, including identification of secondary fistulas, out of total procedures performed with each method (rigid vs flexible bronchoscopy)
