Trial summary

The safety of novel medical device must be assessed before being implemented into clinical practice. In the case of aerosol box, one of the safety features concerned includes its impact on intubation and how it affect the probability of efficient intubation in order to avoid risk of hypoxia to patient.

About this study

Official title: Impact of Covid-19 Aerosol Box On Intubation Success Rate and Intubation Time

The safety of novel medical device must be assessed before being implemented into clinical practice. In the case of aerosol box, one of the safety features concerned includes its impact on intubation and how it affect the probability of efficient intubation in order to avoid risk of hypoxia to patient. As the barrier box is newly invented, there have been limited studies published.

This study aims to compare intubation success rate between intubation with and without aerosol box in real patients, which will determine the chances of efficient intubation and reflect the safety features of the aerosol box.

Read the detailed description

General Objective To determine whether intubation performed using aerosol box will have a lower chance of success as compared to intubation without using the box.

Specific Objectives

  1. To determine whether intubation with aerosol box will require more time for successful intubation as compared to intubation without the box.
  2. To compare the ease of intubation and determine whether intubation using aerosol box will require additional airway manipulation as compared to intubation without using the box.
Being tested
Intubation using aerosol box, Intubation without aerosol box

What is being measured

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

  1. Tracheal intubation time

    Time taken from the laryngoscope blade passes through front incisors, followed by endotracheal intubation being inserted into trachea, and until the first upstroke of the capnograph trace visible as proof of successful tracheal intubation (the measurement is measured in seconds)

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Ease of tracheal intubation

    Based on scale of tracheal intubation difficulty. The scale is called Intubation Difficulty Scale. Intubation difficulty scale is a numerical score of total intubation difficulty and is based on seven parameters known to be associated with difficult intubation. The seven parameters are number of attempts, number of intubators, number of alternative techniques, Cormack-Lehane laryngoscopy grades, requirement of lifting force of laryngoscopy, application of laryngeal pressure, and mobility of vocal cords. The score will be summed. The degree of difficulty will be categorized into easy (IDS score of 0), slight difficulty (IDS of 1-4) and moderate to major difficulty (IDS of 5 and more) according to the total score. The higher score is associated with a higher prevalence of difficult intubation.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Intubation using aerosol box and Intubation without aerosol box in people with Intubation; Difficult or Failed, run by Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Medical Centre at 1 site in Malaysia.

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 4 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 21 Sep 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 Malaysia. 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?

Tracheal intubation time (time frame: 1 year). 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 21 Sep 2023.
