About this study

Official title: A Comparison of the Effects of Cricoid Pressure and Paralaryngeal Pressure to Prevent Regurgitation of Gastric Contents

Comparing the effects of ' Cricoid pressure' or 'Paralaryngeal pressure' during endotracheal intubation procedure.

Read the detailed description

Applying Cricoid pressure is widely used procedure to prevent gastric contents regurgitation during endotracheal intubation. To find out effectiveness external pressure is applied, the investigators will evaluate the relative position of esophagus and trachea. And also comparing the effects of Cricoid pressure and Paralaryngeal pressure during whole tracheal intubation procedures.

  1. Confirm the relative positions between esophagus and trachea in awake patients by using ultrasonography.
  2. Compare the effect of 'Cricoid pressure' and 'Paralaryngeal pressure' to esophageal opening during tracheal intubation procedure as below points.
  3. Awake states. (Before sedation) 2) Anesthetized states. (After muscle relaxation) 3) During direct intubation procedure.

What is being measured

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

  1. Occlusion of esophagus

    Occlusion of esophagus is checked under the application of cricoid and paralaryngeal pressures during direct laryngsocpy

    Measured: for 1 minute during direct laryngosopy

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. The relative position of the upper esophageal end to the glottis

    The position assessed by using ultrasonography and direct visualization

    Measured: 1 minute before and after the induction of anesthesia, during direct laryngoscopy

  2. The outer anteroposterior diameter of the upper esophageal end

    The outer anteroposterior diameter of the upper esophageal end is assessed before and durng the application of cricoid and paralaryngeal pressures.

    Measured: During 1 minute in awake and anesthetized paralyzed states

  3. POGO score

    POGO score under the application of cricoid and paralaryngeal pressures

    Measured: during direct laryngoscopy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Intubation Complication, run by SMG-SNU Boramae Medical Center 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 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 16 Aug 2019. 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?

Occlusion of esophagus (time frame: for 1 minute during direct laryngosopy). 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 NCT03558633, which also lists 3 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 16 Aug 2019.
