Description
This study was designed to compare the effectiveness of using a red-rubber catheter versus standard, direct insertion of a thermosoftened, lubricated nasal endotracheal tube into the naris to facilitate nasotracheal intubation in adults. This study will assess if the red-rubber catheter method leads to lower incidence and severity of epistaxis, faster time to intubation, and higher patient satisfaction compared to the current standard of care.
