About this study

Official title: Comparison of the C-MAC and Macintosh Laryngoscopes for Tracheal Intubation in Different Intubator Positions. A Randomized, Crossover, Manikin Trial

We therefore designed this randomized crossover study to compare C-MAC with Macintosh laryngoscope in emergency intubation performed by paramedics according to three different intubator positions.

Being tested
C-MAC laryngoscope, Macintosh laryngoscope

What participants receive

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Position 1ExperimentalStandard position during intubation. Intubator is behind head of the victim, propped up on both elbows
Receives: Device: C-MAC laryngoscope; Device: Macintosh laryngoscope
Position 2ExperimentalIntubator is behind head of the victim, lies on the left side
Receives: Device: C-MAC laryngoscope; Device: Macintosh laryngoscope
Position 3ExperimentalIntubator stands astride the victims, intubated using the face-to-face

What is being measured

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

  1. Time required for successful intubation

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. success rate of intubation attempt

    success rate of first, second and third intubation attempt

    Measured: 1 day

  2. cumulative success ratios related to time

    cumulative success ratio was counted as percentage of successful intubations in time intervals in all scenarios

    Measured: 1 day

  3. Ease of intubation

    To access subjective opinion about the difficulty of each intubation method, participants were asked to rate it on a visual analog scale (VAS) with a score from 1 (extremely easy) to 10 (extremely difficult).

    Measured: 1 day

  4. Cormack&Lehane grade

    glottic view during intubation rate using Cormack\&Lehane grade

    Measured: 1 day

  5. Dental Compression

    the severity of the potential dental trauma was calculated based on previously described modified grading scale (Svoldelli, 2009)

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing C-MAC laryngoscope and Macintosh laryngoscope in people with Endotracheal Intubation, run by Medical University of Warsaw at 1 site in Poland.

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 4 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 9 Mar 2016. 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 Poland. 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 required for successful intubation (time frame: 1 day). 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 9 Mar 2016.
