Trial summary

A semi-rigid cervical collar is recommended for immobilization of the cervical spine in patients with cervical spine injury. It has been suggested that a reduction in mouth opening is the major contributing factor to the deterioration in the glottic view obtained. Read more about this study

About this study

A semi-rigid cervical collar is recommended for immobilization of the cervical spine in patients with cervical spine injury. It has been suggested that a reduction in mouth opening is the major contributing factor to the deterioration in the glottic view obtained. Fiberoptic intubation is among the most versatile techniques for managing both the anticipated and the unanticipated difficult airway. Recently, combination of fiberoptic bronchoscope with videolaryngoscope has been suggested to permit visual control of the passage of the tube over the fibrescope into the laryngeal inlet. The aim of this study is to compare the intubation time and ease of intubation between fiberoptic bronchoscope alone and bronchoscope with pentax airwayscope.

What is being measured

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

  1. time to intubation

    Measured: Time from device passing the mouth until confirmation of tracheal intubation by bronchoscope will be measured, about 2 minutes

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. ease of intubation

    Numeric rating scale 0-10 (0:easy without any difficulty, 10: impossible to intubate)

    Measured: Numeric rating scale will be assessed by practioner of fiberoptic bronchoscope for intubation immediately after intubation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing fiberoptic bronchoscope, pentax-airway scope and semi-rigid collar in people with Cholecystitis, run by Ajou University School of Medicine 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 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 28 Jun 2017. 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: Time from device passing the mouth until confirmation of tracheal intubation by bronchoscope will be measured, about 2 minutes). 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 NCT02827110, 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 28 Jun 2017.
