About this study

Official title: A Randomized Control Trial: Does Guidance Using Video Laryngoscopy Improve Residents' Success in Neonatal Intubation?

This study examines the effectiveness of utilizing video laryngoscopy to give real-time guidance during neonatal intubations to improve residents' success at performing intubations.

Read the detailed description

To evaluate whether residents who receive guidance from a supervisor concurrently viewing the neonate's airway via video laryngoscopy will have a higher rate of successful neonatal intubations than residents receiving guidance using traditional direct laryngoscopy.

The investigators conducted a randomized controlled trial involving 48 first and second year pediatric and medicine-pediatric residents who received either video-facilitated (VDL) or traditional (TDL) supervisor guidance during direct laryngoscopy. Residents attempted intubations in the neonatal intensive care unit according to their randomization group. The primary outcome was a successful intubation that occurred within two attempts.

What participants receive

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

  • Video LaryngoscopyOther

    Also called Technology-Assisted Instruction

    Residents intubate using video laryngoscopy.

  • Traditional LaryngoscopyOther

    Also called Traditional Instruction

    Residents intubate without using video laryngoscopy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Successful Intubations

    A successful intubation is defined as the placement of an endotracheal tube in the infant's trachea within two attempts.

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Number of successful intubations by resident year

    Measured: 12 months

  2. Number of residents with successful intubations on the first and subsequent patients

    Measured: 12 months

  3. Average length of time of intubation attempts

    Measured: 12 months

  4. Number of both serious and non-serious adverse events

    Measured: 12 months

  5. Number of successful intubations by residency program

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Video Laryngoscopy and Traditional Laryngoscopy in people with Education, Medical, run by University of Rochester.

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 1 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 5 Oct 2023. 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?

Number of Successful Intubations (time frame: 12 months). 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 NCT03035175, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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?
