About this study

Official title: Tube-Videostylet Assembly for Nasotracheal Intubation Assisted by a Fingers-Hook Technique

to compare either using conventional jaw thrust technique or with a novel fingers-hook technique to facilitate video-stylet assisted nasotracheal intubation

Read the detailed description

It is necessary to adequately exposure of glottis during naso-tracheal intubation using video-stylet. However, inadequate upward epiglottis or over-elevation of arytenoids all inhibit the tube tip smoothly into trachea. Therefore, the study is to investigate either jaw thrust or fingers-hook technique is advantages of nasotracheal intubation.

Being tested
Conventional Jaw thrust Group, Fingers hook Group
Keywords
Nasotracheal Intubation, jaw thrust, hook-finger

What is being measured

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

  1. grade of glottic field exposure and nasotracheal difficulty intubation score

    to compare the two different techniques in glottic field exposure and score of nasotracheal difficulty intubations scale

    Measured: half an hour

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. the tube-videostylet assembly range of motion

    range motion of tip of tube-videostylet assembly advanced from nasal cavity to trachea

    Measured: half an hour

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Conventional Jaw thrust Group and Fingers hook Group in people with Nasotracheal Intubation, run by Kaohsiung Medical University Chung-Ho Memorial Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 5 inclusion and 3 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 21 Jun 2024. 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 Taiwan. 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?

grade of glottic field exposure and nasotracheal difficulty intubation score (time frame: half an hour). 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 NCT03086668, 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 21 Jun 2024.
