Trial summary

Videolaryngoscope provide better view of the larynx. This better view could improve the navigation of endotracheal tube in nasotracheal intubation. Contrast to the improved result in adult, one previous report using Glidescope in children did not show better performance than direct laryngoscope. Read more about this study

About this study

Videolaryngoscope provide better view of the larynx. This better view could improve the navigation of endotracheal tube in nasotracheal intubation. Contrast to the improved result in adult, one previous report using Glidescope in children did not show better performance than direct laryngoscope. The aim of this study is to compare the performance of McGrath, Pentax and Macintosh laryngoscope for nasotracheal intubation in children.

What is being measured

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

  1. time to intubation

    Time from nasotracheal tube passing nose until confirmation of tracheal intubation by end-tidal carbon dioxide will be measured

    Measured: 2 min

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. intubation difficulty scale

    Modified nasal intubation difficulty scale will be assessed : N1(intubation attempts), N2(operators to attempt intubation, N3(alternative intubation techniques or change head position), N4(glottic exposure), N5(lifting force required to expose the vocal cords), N6(optimise glottic exposure with backward, upward and right ward pressure), N7(techniques to aid intubation)

    Measured: immediately after intubation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Macintosh laryngoscope, McGrath videolaryngoscope and Pentax videolaryngoscope in people with Intubation Time and Intubation Difficulty Scale, 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 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 10 Jan 2019. 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: 2 min). 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 10 Jan 2019.
