About this study

Official title: Comparison of Simultaneous Endotracheal Tube Insertion With GlideScope Use: a Pilot Study

Patients presenting for elective surgery requiring orotracheal intubation will be randomized to having the ETT inserted into the pharynx simultaneous to GlideScope insertion and then having the ETT advanced under GlideScope guidance into the trachea, or, being intubated in the more common fashion with the GlideScope being inserted first and having the ETT then advanced via the pharynx into the trachea.

Read the detailed description

Patients presenting for elective surgery requiring orotracheal intubation will be randomized to having the ETT inserted into the pharynx simultaneous to GlideScope insertion and then having the ETT advanced under GlideScope guidance into the trachea, or, being intubated in the more common fashion with the GlideScope being inserted first and having the ETT then advanced via the pharynx into the trachea. The primary outcome is time to intubation. Secondary outcomes include: 1) Ease of intubation as noted by operator (measured on a 10-cm Visual Analogue Scale) 2) Number of intubation attempts 3) Number of failures to intubate 4) Use of external laryngeal pressure 5) Laryngoscopic grade distribution

Being tested
Simultaneous Intubation, Standard Intubation

What participants receive

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

  • Simultaneous IntubationProcedure or surgery

    Intubation with GlideScope and ETT inserted simultaneously

  • Standard IntubationProcedure or surgery

    Intubation with GlideScope inserted first and ETT insertion after the GlideScope view is obtained

What is being measured

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

  1. Duration of Intubation

    Duration of Intubation from mask removal to confirmation of ETCO2

    Measured: During the intubation

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Ease of Intubation

    100 mm visual analog scale

    Measured: Within 5 minutes of the completion of the intubation

  2. Number of intubation attempts

    Number of intubation attempts

    Measured: Within 5 minutes of the completion of the intubation

  3. Failure to intubate

    Failure to intubate

    Measured: Within 5 minutes of the completion of the intubation

  4. Laryngoscopic Grade

    Cormack \& Lehane grade

    Measured: Within 5 minutes of the completion of the intubation

  5. Oropharyngeal Trauma

    Blind suction of the oropharynx immediately post intubation

    Measured: Within 5 minutes of the completion of the intubation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Simultaneous Intubation and Standard Intubation in people with Intubation and Videolaryngoscopy, run by London Health Sciences Centre Research Institute OR Lawson Research Institute of St. Joseph's at 2 sites in Canada.

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 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 1 Mar 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Canada. 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?

Duration of Intubation (time frame: During the intubation). 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 NCT02787629, 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 1 Mar 2019.
