Trial summary

The fiberoptic bronchoscope (FOB) has been the preferred instrument for many years in the management of difficult tracheal intubation, and it is considered as a gold standard. The disposcope endoscope (DE) is a medical device for endotracheal intubation used in clinical practice recently.This study compares FOB and DE… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Comparison of Disposcope Endoscope and Fiberoptic Bronchoscope During Awake Orotracheal Intubation in Obese Patients With Anticipated Difficult Airway : A Prospective, Randomised and Controlled Clinical Trial

The fiberoptic bronchoscope (FOB) has been the preferred instrument for many years in the management of difficult tracheal intubation, and it is considered as a gold standard. The disposcope endoscope (DE) is a medical device for endotracheal intubation used in clinical practice recently.This study compares FOB and DE for awake orotracheal intubation in obese patients with anticipated difficult airway.

Read the detailed description

Forty obese patients with anticipated difficult airways were randomised to undergo awake orotracheal intubation by FOB(group F) or DE(group D) after conscious sedation. The conditions of orotracheal intubation, the time needed to view the vocal cords and to complete the orotracheal intubation, the hemodynamic changes and the adverse events including bradycardia, respiratory depression during orotracheal intubation, throat pain, hoarseness and memory after surgery were recorded. The ease of view the vocal cords and passing the tracheal tube through the glottis were also evaluated by using a visual analogue scale (VAS) by operator.

What participants receive

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

  • Fiberoptic bronchoscopeDevice

    In case of FOB, the FOB was inserted into oral cavity, and the epiglottis and glottis were identified by the FOB. The anterior of FOB was inserted deep into tracheal after the glottis was exposed sufficiently then the tracheal tube was pushed into the trachea via the FOB

  • Disposcope endoscopeDevice

    In the DE group, the operator gripped the chin and lower incisors of patients with the fingers and thumb to open the mouth adequately wide and grasped the wire body, which was enclosed within the endotracheal tube, by the other hand and held it parallel to,then inserted into oral cavity

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Fiberoptic bronchoscope and Disposcope endoscope in people with Therapeutic Procedural Complication, run by The First Hospital of Qinhuangdao.

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 1 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 26 Sep 2017. 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?

Intubation Time (time frame: 36 months). 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 26 Sep 2017; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
