Clinical Trial Summary

COVALENT is a randomized, controlled, multi-center study that aims to evaluate the clinical routine practice of endotracheal intubation in an operative setting comparing video-assisted laryngoscopy to direct laryngoscopy.


Clinical Trial Description

Data on the routine use of video-assisted laryngoscopy in peri-operative intubations are rather inconsistent and ambiguous, in part due to small study populations and non-uniform outcome measures in past trials. Failed or prolonged intubation procedures are a reason for relevant morbidity and mortality. This study aims to determine whether video-assisted laryngoscopy (irrespective of the shape of the blade) is non-inferior to the standard method of direct laryngoscopy with respect to the first-pass success rate. Furthermore, validated tools from the field of human factors will be applied to examine within-team communication and task load during this critical medical procedure. ;
