About this study

Official title: Comparison of the McGrath Videolaryngoscope and the Pentax-AWS With the Macintosh Laryngoscope for Nasotracheal Intubation in Patients With Manual In-line Stabilization

Videolaryngoscope is useful to improve the laryngeal view, especially during difficult intubation. There are several kinds of videolaryngoscopes and it is applicable during nasotracheal intubation. In this study, the investigators will compare the McGrath videolaryngoscope and Pentax-AWS with Macintosh laryngoscope for nasotracheal intubation in patients with manual in-line stabilization.

Being tested
MILS, McGrath videolaryngoscope, Pentax AWS videolaryngoscope, Macintosh laryngoscope

What participants receive

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

  • MILSProcedure or surgery

    MILS(Manual in-line stabilization) will be applied during intubation. With MILS, different kinds of laryngoscope will be evaluated in a simulated difficult airway.

  • McGrath videolaryngoscopeDevice

    McGrath videolaryngoscope will be used for intubation

  • Pentax AWS videolaryngoscopeDevice

    Pentax AWS videolaryngoscope will be used for intubation

  • Macintosh laryngoscopeDevice

    Macintosh laryngoscope will be used for intubation

What is being measured

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

  1. time for intubation

    Measured: from holding the laryngoscope until the 1st ventilation after intubation, within 90 seconds

  2. Cormack Lehane Laryngeal view

    Measured: when laryngoscope is appropriately placed during intubation, approximately 2 seconds

  3. POGP score

    Percentage of glottic opening(POGO)

    Measured: when laryngoscope is appropriately placed during intubation, approximately 2 seconds

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. external laryngeal manipulation

    When the laryngeal view is insufficient during laryngoscope, another physician can manipulate the larynx externally to improve the laryngeal view. The necessity of external laryngeal manipulation will be recorded.

    Measured: when laryngoscope is appropriately placed during intubation, approximately 2 seconds

  2. magill forceps

    when the nasotracheal tube can not introduced to vocal cord manually, magill forceps can hold the tube to advance the tube through vocal cord. The necessity of magill forceps during intubation will be recorded

    Measured: when laryngoscope is appropriately placed during intubation, approximately 5 seconds

  3. IDS (intubation difficulty scale)

    IDS score is the sum of the following seven variables:

    N1: the number of intubation attempts>1 N2: the number of operators. 1 N3: the number of alternative intubation techniques used N4: glottic exposure (Cormack Lehane grade minus 1) N5: Lifting force required during laryngoscopy (0=normal; 1=increased) N6: necessity for external laryngeal pressure (0=not applied; 1=applied) N7: position of the vocal cords at intubation (0=abduction/ not visualized; 1=adduction)

    Measured: during intubation, approximately 90 seconds

  4. numeric rating scale for intubation

    0-10 (0; no difficulty, 10: hardest)

    Measured: during intubation, approximately 90 seconds

  5. grade of bleeding

    After confirmation of successful intubation, Yankauer suction was introduced to access the intraoral bleeding during intubation.

    Grade is 4 points scale (none/trace/moderate/severe).

    Measured: 10 seconds after completion of intubation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing MILS, McGrath videolaryngoscope and Pentax AWS videolaryngoscope in people with Oral Surgery and Maxillofacial Surgery, run by Ajou University School of Medicine.

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 4 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 6 Nov 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 for intubation (time frame: from holding the laryngoscope until the 1st ventilation after intubation, within 90 seconds). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02647606, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 6 Nov 2018.
