About this study
The investigators' primary specific aims are to demonstrate that:
- Pediatric patients with normal airways, undergoing elective surgical procedures, can be successfully intubated when deeply sedated, without the use of muscle relaxants using the Shikani Optical Stylet.
- Shikani intubation of pediatric patients is equally effective in children that are deeply sedated or paralyzed as evidenced by a non-significant difference in:
- Time to intubation (defined as no more than a 30 second time difference between the two groups);
- Incidence of adverse events.
- Conditions
- Intubation,Endotracheal
- Being tested
- Cisatracurium, Normal saline
- Keywords
- Pediatric
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
CisatracuriumDrug
Also called Nimbex
One intravenous dose: 0.2mg/kg/dose
Normal salineDrug
One Intravenous dose
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Normal saline | Placebo comparator | Normal saline volume calculated to be equal to the volume of cisatracurium 0.2mg/kg Receives: Drug: Normal saline |
| Cisatracurium | Active comparator | Subjects in this arm will be given Cisatracurium 0.2mg/kg IV dose one time prior to intubation. Receives: Drug: Cisatracurium |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Time to Intubation
Time to intubation was defined as the time (seconds) required to verify three breaths on an end-tidal carbon dioxide monitor.
Measured: Confirmed by the visualization of three carbon dioxide waveforms.
Secondary outcomes (1)
The Number of Adverse Events
The number of occurrences of each event. One subject may have multiple adverse events.
Measured: Recorded from the start of the intubation procedure to the time of successful endotracheal intubation

What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Time to Intubation (time frame: Confirmed by the visualization of three carbon dioxide waveforms.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Aug 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
