About this study

The Intubation Assist Clinical Study is an observational study of adult patients scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia to assess the user interface, assess transthoracic impedance by the ventilation volume and assess transthoracic impedance. Monitoring will begin at the time the patient is pre-oxygenated in preparation for endotracheal intubation and will continue until 30 minutes after intubation is achieved.

What participants receive

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

  • Intubation Assist DashboardDevice

    The ZOLL X Series Intubation Assist Dashboard feature guides the operator through a three-step auscultation process to verify the proper placement of an endotracheal tube.

What is being measured

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

  1. Assessment of the user interface

    Measured: Assessment will be made after using Intubation Assist approximately 30 minutes after successful intubation

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Assessment of transthoracic impedance

    Measured: Impedance measurements will be collected during intubation and will not exceed 30 minutes from the start of intubation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Intubation, Intratracheal, run by Zoll Medical Corporation at 1 site in Norway.

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 5 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 18 Jan 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 Norway. 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?

Assessment of the user interface (time frame: Assessment will be made after using Intubation Assist approximately 30 minutes after successful intubation). 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 NCT03301324, which also lists 6 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Jan 2018.
