About this study

This investigation was designed to assess the patency of the esophageal entrance during cricoid pressure (CP) in anesthetized, paralyzed obese and non obese patients using the Glidescope ® video laryngoscope (GVL).

Read the detailed description

Eighty-nine patients undergoing surgeries necessitating general anesthesia and tracheal intubation were enrolled in this study. Group 1 (OB) including obese patients (n= 59) was undergoing bariatric surgery. Following rapid sequence induction/intubation (RSII) anesthesia with cricoid pressure, clear view of the vocals cord and the entrance to the esophagus were assessed using Glidescope® video laryngoscope before intubation and following intubation. Following securing the airway, efficacy of cricoid pressure was tested by the capability to insert gastric tubes (20 and 38 Fr) under direct vision using GVL. Group 2 (NOB) including non-obese patients (n=30) was undergoing moderate surgery requiring tracheal intubation under general anesthesia. Efficacy of cricoid pressure was also tested similarly using GT's (20 and 38 Fr) following induction of anesthesia and before intubation. Inability of GT insertion was recorded as non-patent esophagus (effective CP) and successful insertion of GT was recorded as patent esophagus (ineffective CP). Then CP was released and insertion of GT achieved for correct verification of the esophageal opening position in both groups.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • cricoid pressureOther

    Also called Glidescope

    The current study test by direct visual evidence the occlusion of esophageal entrance during application CP. The closure of the lumen was further demonstrated by the inability to introduce a GT into the esophagus during CP.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing cricoid pressure in people with Aspiration, run by Procare Riaya Hospital at 1 site in Saudi Arabia.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Apr 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Saudi Arabia. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Efficacy of Cricoid Pressure for Prevention of Aspiration (time frame: 24 hours). 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 10 Apr 2012.
