Trial summary

Pulmonary aspiration during tracheal intubation for anesthesia can cause fatal respiratory complications. Takenaka's study of mannequins reported that the risk of airway contamination by reflux gastric contents could be minimized by applying a 15-degree Trendelenburg position and a Sellick position with neck… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Comparison of Direct Laryngoscope and Video Laryngoscope During Endotracheal Intubation in Sellick and Trendelenburg Position to Prevent Pulmonary Aspiration

Pulmonary aspiration during tracheal intubation for anesthesia can cause fatal respiratory complications. Takenaka's study of mannequins reported that the risk of airway contamination by reflux gastric contents could be minimized by applying a 15-degree Trendelenburg position and a Sellick position with neck extention. However, the clinical performance of tracheal intubation in this position has not been studied. Also, the difference between the effects of direct laryngoscope and video laryngoscope on tracheal intubation is not known yet.

Therefore, this study aims to compare the intubation time among intubation through direct laryngoscope and video laryngoscope in the Sellick and Trendelenburg position, and intubation in the conventional sniffing position.

Being tested
Macintosh in sniffing position, Macintosh in Trendelenburg position and Sellick position, AceScope in Trendelenburg position and Sellick position
Keywords

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Macintosh in sniffing position, Macintosh in Trendelenburg position and Sellick position and AceScope in Trendelenburg position and Sellick position in people with Intubation;Difficult, run by Ajou University School of Medicine 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 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 25 Aug 2023. 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?

Intubation time (time frame: within 5 minutes). 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 25 Aug 2023.
