Clinical Trial Summary

The safety and efficacy of a laryngoscopy as a primary intubation tool in urgent endotracheal intubation of cardiac arrest patients with suspected/confirmed COVID-19 has not been well-described in the literature. This study will answer whether using a Vie Scope laryngoscope will impact on the efficacy and safety of intubation compared with a traditional direct laryngoscopy.

Description:

Intubation will be carried out in full personal protective equipment conditions of the operator

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Intubation success rate during at the first laryngoscopy	Definition of failed intubation: Time to intubation is longer than 120 seconds or wrong placement of endotracheal tube (For example : Esophageal intubation etc.)	10 min
Secondary	Intubation difficulty Scale score	Intubation difficulty assessed by Intubation difficulty Scale score	10 min
Secondary	Complications related to tracheal intubation	Complications related to tracheal intubation during advanced Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR): failure, esophageal intubation, mainstem intubation, vomiting, pulmonary aspiration, dental trauma, extubation	10 min
Secondary	Time to completion of tracheal intubation (TI) procedure	Time to completion of tracheal intubation (TI) procedure measured from the instant that the laryngoscope blade touches the patient to the moment that the tracheal tube cuff is inflated	10 min
Secondary	Duration of the interruption of chest compression during ETI procedure	Duration of the interruption of chest compression during ETI procedure	10 min
