Trial summary

This study is intended to evaluate the efficacy and safety of glycopyrrolate as an antisialagogue prior to intubation with the rigid-videostylet(Optiscope®) in the general anesthesia settings. Upper airway secretions limit the use of the videostylet during during endotracheal intubation. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Benefits of Intramuscular Glycopyrrolate Premedication on Intubation With Rigid-videostylet (OptiScope® PM 201, KoMAC Co., Ltd, Seoul, Republic of Korea)

This study is intended to evaluate the efficacy and safety of glycopyrrolate as an antisialagogue prior to intubation with the rigid-videostylet(Optiscope®) in the general anesthesia settings. Upper airway secretions limit the use of the videostylet during during endotracheal intubation. Therefore, in this study, patients will be allocated to either of the two groups according to the administration of glycopyrrolate and the effect of glycopyrrolate in reducing oral secretions will be assessed by the observer while intubating with the rigid-videostylet. The efficacy of the antisialagogic effect on the view during endotracheal intubation will be evaluated.

Read the detailed description

Recently, the newer forms of intubating devices combining video technologies were introduced. The fiberoptic stylets are useful instrumentations especially for difficult airways and limited neck mobilizations.The OptiScope® is a semi-rigid videostylet designed for endotracheal intubation. While using the device, visualization of the airway might be obscured by the secretions during its insertion. The deterioration of the view leads to intubation failure, resulting in multiple intubation attempts, longer intubating time and desaturation.Therefore, while using the Opticoscope®, proper antisialagogic preparation will be helpful.

Total 78 patients scheduled for general anesthesia aged 20-65 years and Anesthesiologists physical status (ASA) class 1 or 2 will be included. The obese patients (BMI>30) and expected difficult intubation will be excluded. The sample size was estimated based on the preliminary study. With a type Ⅰ error estimate(α) of 0.05 at 80% power, we estimated that 30 patients in each group, or 60 in total, were needed. Considering the drop-out rate of 30%, the total sample size were 78 in total. The patients will be randomly allocated to the glycopyrrolate group(G) and the control group(C). The group-G will received intramuscular glycopyrrolate 0.005mg/kg injection 1 hour before the surgery. For the group-C glycopyrrolate will not be administered. Intubation will be conducted with the OptiScope®. While intubating, the degree of the secretion will be evaluated through the OptiScope® and graded excellent, good, poor and unacceptable according to the dryness and the visualization of the vocal cord. When the vocal cord was seen without secretions, it was stated 'Excellent'. 'Good' was graded when secretions existed without the need for suctioning to visualize the vocal cord. When there were secretions and needed suctioning to clear the view, the subjects were rated 'Poor'. When intubation was failed due to poor visualization of the vocal cord despite the suctioning of the secretion, it was graded 'Unacceptable'. If the intubation is not available within 1 minute, the intubation will be done with the laryngoscope. The time to intubate will be checked by the assist anesthesiologist. The definition of the 'intubation time' is the time between the introduction of the OptiScope® into the mouth and the confirmation of the proper intubation with capnographic wave.The baseline vital signs including systolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, diastolic blood pressure and heart rate will be measured before the intubation and 1,3 and 5 minutes after the intubation.

The collected data will be compared with the independent t-test or Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon test for the continuous variables. Χ2 test and Fisher's exact test will be performed for the categorical variables. Significant level will be set at 0.05.

What is being measured

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

  1. The degree of the secretion

    The degree of the secretion evaluation done through the OptiScope(R). It was graded by 4-point-scale. Excellent (1) : Dry. No secretion Good (2): Moist Acceptable (2): Wet. Suctioning is NOT required to intubate. Poor(4): Wet. Suctioning is required to intubate

    Measured: After an average of 1 second from the start of intubation with the OptiScope®.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Time to Intubate

    It is defined by the time between the introduction of the OptiScope® into the mouth and the confirmation of the proper intubation with capnographic wave.

    Measured: 2 minutes after the start of intubation with the OptiScope®.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Glycopyrrolate in people with Cholecystitis, Acute, run by Eunah Cho, MD 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 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The degree of the secretion (time frame: After an average of 1 second from the start of intubation with the OptiScope®.). 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 NCT03050242, 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.
