About this study

Official title: Comparison of Glidescope, Pentax-AWS and Macintosh Laryngoscope for Intubation During Chest Compression in 15-30 Degree Left-Lateral Tilt: A Manikin Simulation Study of Maternal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

European Resuscitation Council (ERC) Guidelines for Resuscitation 2010 emphasize high quality chest compressions .They propose minor changes for pregnant women: manual left deviation of the uterus or a left-lateral incline of 15-30to alleviate pressure on the inferior vena cava. We will examine the performance of the Glidescope (GVL), the Pentax-AWS Airwayscope(AWS) and Macintosh laryngoscope (McL) for airway management during chest compressions on 15 and 30 degree left-lateral tilt (15 \&30 LLT) custom-made hard wedges.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Time to intubation

    We will check the times from inserting blade to mouth to exposing vocal cord and from exposing vocal cord to first ambu-bagging.

    Measured: 1day

  2. Success rate of intubation

    Definition of failed intubation

    • Time to intubation is longer than 90 seconds.
    • Wrong placement of endotracheal tube (For example : Esophageal intubation etc.)

    Measured: 1day

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Laryngeal View during intubation

    We will record the best laryngeal View during intubation. We will record according to the Cormack-Lehane Grade system.

    Measured: 1day

  2. The preference for laryngoscopes

    1. The preference for laryngoscope regardless of tilting degree of wedges
    2. The preference for laryngoscope in 15 degree left-lateral tilt situation .
    3. The preference for laryngoscope in 30 degree left-lateral tilt situation . (Participants will select only 1 of 3 laryngoscopes and the preference will be displayed as histogram)

    Measured: 1day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 15 degree left-lateral tilt wedges and 30 degree left-lateral tilt wedges in people with Cardiac Arrest, run by Hanyang University Seoul Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 2 inclusion and 1 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 21 Mar 2014. 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 South Korea. 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?

Time to intubation (time frame: 1day). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 21 Mar 2014.
