About this study

Official title: Inönü University Department of Anesthesia

The aim of this study is to demonstrate the effect of C-Mac videolaryngoscopy with Miller Blade size 0 and 1 on the intubation conditions in children less than 2 years age with a roll inserted under the shoulders.

Read the detailed description

The laryngoscopic view of the glottis is improved when the angle of the line of vision between the pharyngeal - laryngeal axis and the oral cavity axis is narrow. A roll inserted under the shoulders of the infant will help line up the oral, laryngeal, and pharyngeal axes making direct laryngoscopy easier.

The investigators hypothesized that laryngoscopic view and intubation conditions using C-Mac videolaryngoscope with Miller Blade size 0 and 1 would be better with a roll under shoulder in children under 2 years.

What participants receive

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

  • C-MAC videolaryngoscopeDevice

    An intubating device that is used for endotracheal intubation. Endotracheal intubation will be performed by anesthesiologist with C-MAC videolaryngoscope

Study groups in NCT03709979
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
C-MAC with folded towel positionActive comparatorChildren will be intubated by C-MAC videolaryngoscope with placing a folded towel under the shoulder.
Receives: Device: C-MAC videolaryngoscope
C-MAC with flat positionPlacebo comparatorChildren will be intubated by C-MAC videolaryngoscope with flat position (non-inserted a folded towel)
Receives: Device: C-MAC videolaryngoscope

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of glottic opening score

    Percentage of glottic opening score of 100% denotes visualization of the entire glottis, from the anterior commissure of the vocal cords to the inter-arytenoid notch. If no part of the glottic opening was visualized, the POGO score was recorded as 0%

    Measured: immediately before endotracheal intubation

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Time to intubation

    Time to intubation will be measured from the time the videolaryngoscope entered the patient's mouth until the first capnograph trace is seen on the monitor

    Measured: From beginning of holding videolaryngoscope to seeing two meaningful end-tidal carbon dioxide levels up to 3 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing C-MAC videolaryngoscope in people with Anesthesia and Intubation, run by Inonu University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 2 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 19 Feb 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Percentage of glottic opening score (time frame: immediately before endotracheal 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 NCT03709979, 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 19 Feb 2019.
