About this study

Using eye-tracking technology, the aim of this observational study is to compare the visual interests between attending physicians and residents watching a Cannot Intubate/Cannot Oxygenate (CICO) scripted and simulated scenario

Read the detailed description

Attending physicians and residents, from the department of Anesthesiology at the Université de Montréal were recruited on a voluntary basis. A 13-minute video based on a suggested CICO algorithm from the Difficult Airway Society to manage unanticipated difficult intubation in adults (3) was produced at the University of Montreal Simulation Centre using high-fidelity settings. The scenario was about a patient, with a cervical collar, in the post-anesthesia care unit. Throughout the video, the patient presents increasing respiratory distress worsening to respiratory failure. The anesthesiologist fails to ventilate, intubate and insert a laryngeal mask leading to a cricothyroidotomy. All participants were looking at a screen on which the scenario was broadcast. The screen was equipped with TobiiEyeX®, an eye-tracking system that automatically aggregates gaze data.

What is being measured

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

  1. Difference between Time to First Fixation and Total View Duration of areas of interests.

    The screen was equipped with TobiiEyeX®, an eye-tracking system that automatically aggregates gaze data. The display was divided in seven Areas of Interest (AOI). Data were collected using the Tobii Studio® program to obtain the total view duration (TVD) of the various AOIs.

    Measured: The primary endpoint is collected during 15 minutes, throughout the viewing of the video by the participant

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Patient Simulation and Perception, run by Université de Montréal.

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 2 May 2017. 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?

Difference between Time to First Fixation and Total View Duration of areas of interests. (time frame: The primary endpoint is collected during 15 minutes, throughout the viewing of the video by the participant). 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 2 May 2017.
