About this study

Official title: Videolaryngoscopy Versus Direct Laryngoscopy for Elective Airway Management in Pediatric Anesthesia: Randomized Controlled Trial

Videolaryngoscopy can lead to superior airway conditions and to the possible higher success compared to standard direct laryngoscopy. Patient will be randomized to the interventional group (videolaryngoscopy) and control group (direct laryngoscopy). The first attempt success rate, time to first end-tidal CO2 (ETCO2) wave, overall success rate, incidence of aspiration, bradycardia, desaturation a overall complications will be monitored.

Read the detailed description

Videolaryngoscopy is specialized equipment for airway management, where a camera located at the tip of the laryngoscope blade can visualize also structures that can´t be seen on direct laryngoscopy, co the operator can obtain superior view of aditus laryngis during intubation. Currently videolaryngoscopy is not routinely used for intubation and it is reserved for patients with difficult airway. The aim of the trial is to compare the elective use of videolaryngoscopy versus direct laryngoscopy for elective airway management (tracheal intubation). Patients after informed consent approval will be randomized to the interventional group (videolaryngoscopy) and control group (laryngoscopy). The randomization will be managed by the Institute of Biostatistics and Analyses by the Faculty of medicine, Masaryk university. The primary aim will be the first intubation attempt success rate, the secondary aims will be time to successful intubation (time to first ETCO2 wave), overall success rate, number of intubation attempts, incidence of aspiration, desaturation and incidence of overall complications in all operators, in trainees, residents (5-10 years of practice), consultants (10-15 years of clinical practice) and consultants with over 15 years of clinical practice.

What participants receive

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

  • VideolaryngoscopyDevice

    In experimental group (interventional group), patients will be intubated with the videolaryngoscope

  • Direct laryngoscopyDevice

    In control group (active comparator group), patients will be intubated with the direct laryngoscope

What is being measured

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

  1. First intubation attempt success rate

    Success rate of the first intubation attempt

    Measured: Intraoperatively

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Time for successful intubation

    Time need for intubation from decision to intubate to first end-tidal CO2 wave

    Measured: Intraoperatively

  2. Overall intubation success rate

    Success rate fot intubation

    Measured: Intraoperatively

  3. Laryngeal view

    Laryngeal view scored by Cormack-Lehane grading system

    Measured: Intraoperatively

  4. Complications

    Incidence of associated complications during anesthesia induction - desaturation, bradycardia

    Measured: Intraoperatively

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Videolaryngoscopy and Direct laryngoscopy in people with Tracheal Intubation Morbidity, run by Brno University Hospital at 1 site in Czechia.

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 3 inclusion and 4 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 23 Mar 2021. 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 Czechia. 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?

First intubation attempt success rate (time frame: Intraoperatively). 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 NCT03747250, 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 23 Mar 2021.
