About this study

Official title: The Effect of McGrath Video Laryngoscope on the Glottic View at Thyroid Surgery Position in Tracheal Intubation

For thyroid surgery, the special body position (thyroid surgical position) to exposure the patient's neck should be needed. For intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) in thyroid surgery, the tube should be placed at a specific position. A video laryngoscope can have advantages in tracheal intubation on thyroid surgical position for thyroid surgery. The purpose of the study is to investigate the effect of McGrath video laryngoscope on the glottic view when tracheal intubation is performed at the thyroid surgical position.

Read the detailed description

For thyroid surgery, the special body position (thyroid surgical position) to exposure the patient's neck should be needed. Meanwhile, the tracheal tube can be moved in the trachea from the supine position to thyroid surgical position if tracheal intubation is performed at the supine position. For intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) in thyroid surgery, the electrode of the tracheal tube must be placed at a specific position, that is between the vocal cords. To perform initially tracheal intubation on the thyroid surgical position, therefore, can have advantage in terms of stability of tube position in the trachea without displacement by body position change. However, tracheal intubation on thyroid surgical position might be hard in terms of obtaining a good glottic view. It is well known that video laryngoscopes can improve the glottic view. Therefore, a video laryngoscope can have advantages in tracheal intubation on thyroid surgical position for thyroid surgery in obtaining the good glottic view as well as minimal displacement of the tracheal tube because there is no need to change the patient's position. The purpose of the study is to investigate the effect of McGrath video laryngoscope on the glottic view when tracheal intubation is performed at the thyroid surgical position.

What participants receive

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

  • video laryngoscope at thyroid surgical positionDevice

    After induction of anesthesia and muscle relaxation, the patient will be positioned with a standard pillow to exposure neck for thyroid surgery (thyroid surgical position). Then, tracheal intubation will be performed with a McGrath video laryngoscope. During laryngoscopy with the McGrath video laryngoscope, the intubation practitioner will record the modified Cormack-Lehane grade and the percentage of glottic opening (POGO) score when it is assumed that a direct laryngoscope is used and when using the video laryngoscope, respectively.

What is being measured

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

  1. direct modified Cormack-Lehane grade without external manipulation

    During laryngoscopy, the modified Cormack-Lehane grade without external manipulation as if the laryngoscope is assumed as a direct laryngoscope

    Measured: at tracheal intubation

  2. direct percentage of glottic opening score (POGO score: 0 - 100, 100 means full visualization of vocal cords) without external manipulation

    During laryngoscopy, the percentage of glottic opening score (POGO score: 0 - 100, 100 means full visualization of vocal cords) without external manipulation as if the laryngoscope is assumed as a direct laryngoscope

    Measured: at tracheal intubation

  3. video modified Cormack-Lehane grade without external manipulation

    During laryngoscopy, the modified Cormack-Lehane grade without external manipulation as if the laryngoscope is used as a video laryngoscope

    Measured: at tracheal intubation

  4. video percentage of glottic opening score (POGO score: 0 - 100, 100 means full visualization of vocal cords) without external manipulation

    During laryngoscopy, the percentage of glottic opening score (POGO score: 0 - 100, 100 means full visualization of vocal cords) without external manipulation as if the laryngoscope is used as a video laryngoscope

    Measured: at tracheal intubation

  5. direct modified Cormack-Lehane grade with external manipulation

    During laryngoscopy, the modified Cormack-Lehane grade with external manipulation as if the laryngoscope is assumed as a direct laryngoscope

    Measured: at tracheal intubation

  6. direct percentage of glottic opening score (POGO score: 0 - 100, 100 means full visualization of vocal cords) with external manipulation

    During laryngoscopy, the percentage of glottic opening score (POGO score: 0 - 100, 100 means full visualization of vocal cords) with external manipulation as if the laryngoscope is assumed as a direct laryngoscope

    Measured: at tracheal intubation

  7. video modified Cormack-Lehane grade with external manipulation

    During laryngoscopy, the modified Cormack-Lehane grade with external manipulation as if the laryngoscope is used as a video laryngoscope

    Measured: at tracheal intubation

  8. video percentage of glottic opening score (POGO score: 0 - 100, 100 means full visualization of vocal cords) with external manipulation

    During laryngoscopy, the percentage of glottic opening score (POGO score: 0 - 100, 100 means full visualization of vocal cords) with external manipulation as if the laryngoscope is used as a video laryngoscope

    Measured: at tracheal intubation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing video laryngoscope at thyroid surgical position in people with Thyroid Surgery, run by Seoul National University Hospital 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 2 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 30 Mar 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?

direct modified Cormack-Lehane grade without external manipulation (time frame: at tracheal intubation). The study lists 8 primary outcomes in all. 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 30 Mar 2023.
