About this study

Official title: A Randomized Comparison of Cervical Spine Motion During Tracheal Intubation Using Video Laryngoscope or Rigid Video Stylet in Patients With Simulated Cervical Immobilization

In this study, investigators are going to compare cervical spine motion during tracheal intubation using video laryngoscope or rigid video stylet in patients with simulated cervical immobilization.

Read the detailed description

In patients with an unstable cervical spine, neck extension during tracheal intubation may result in harmful events such as spinal cord injury. Thus, it is important to minimize cervical spine motion in these patients. In this randomized crossover study, investigators are going to compare cervical spine motion during tracheal intubation using video laryngoscope or rigid video stylet in patients with simulated cervical immobilization.

What is being measured

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

  1. maximum cervical spine motion

    maximum angles measured at the occiput-C1, C1-C2, C2-C5 segments

    Measured: during tracheal intubation

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. intubation time

    time interval between insertion of the device into the oral cavity and its removal

    Measured: during tracheal intubation

  2. number of intubation trial

    number of intubation trial

    Measured: during tracheal intubation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing rigid video stylet intubation and video laryngoscope intubation in people with Intubation, run by Seoul National University Hospital 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 14 Feb 2018. 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?

maximum cervical spine motion (time frame: during tracheal intubation). 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 14 Feb 2018.
