Clinical Trial Summary

Complications are common during tracheal intubations performed outside of the operating room. Successful intubation on the first attempt has been associated with a lower rate of procedural complications, but the proportion of critically ill patients intubated on the first attempt during tracheal intubations outside of the operating room is less than 90%. The bougie, a thin semi-rigid tube that can be placed into the trachea, allowing a Seldinger-like technique of intubating a patient's airway, has been traditionally reserved for difficult or failed airways. However, a recent single center trial of adult patients intubated in an emergency department demonstrated that use of the bougie on the first attempt improved intubation success, compared to use of a traditional stylet. Theinvestigators propose a multi-center randomized trial to compare first-attempt bougie use versus endotracheal tube with stylet use for tracheal intubation of critically ill adults in the ED and ICU.


Description:

The BOUGIE trial is a prospective, parallel group, pragmatic, randomized trial comparing the effect of bougie use versus endotracheal tube with stylet use on the incidence of successful intubation on the first attempt among adults undergoing urgent or emergent tracheal intubation. Patients admitted to the study units who are deemed by their clinical team to require intubation and fulfill inclusion criteria without meeting exclusion criteria will be randomized 1:1 to use of a bougie or use of an endotracheal tube and stylet on the first attempt at intubation. All other decisions regarding airway management, including the choice to use a bougie or endotracheal tube and stylet on subsequent attempts, will remain at the discretion of the treating provider. The trial will enroll 1,106 patients. Conduct of the trial will be overseen by a Data Safety Monitoring Board. An interim analysis will be performed after the enrollment of 553 patients. The analysis of the trial will be conducted in accordance with a pre-specified statistical analysis plan, which will be submitted for publication or made publicly available prior to the conclusion of enrollment. The primary outcome is successful intubation on the first attempt The secondary outcome is severe hypoxemia (lowest arterial oxygen saturation between induction and two minutes following intubation of less than 80%)

Eligibility Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patient is located in a participating unit of an adult hospital 2. Planned procedure is tracheal intubation with sedative administration (or tracheal intubation without sedative administration during cardiac arrest) 3.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Other Cormack-Lehane grade of glottic view on first attempt Grade 1: Full view of glottis Grade 2: Partial view of glottis Grade 3: Only epiglottis seen (none of glottis) Grade 4: Neither glottis nor epiglottis seen from induction to 2 minutes following tracheal intubation
Other Number of laryngoscopy attempts from induction to 2 minutes following tracheal intubation
Other Number of attempts at passing bougie from induction to 2 minutes following tracheal intubation
Other Number of attempts at passing endotracheal tube from induction to 2 minutes following tracheal intubation
Other Duration of intubation The start of the procedure will be defined as either the time of first sedative administration or the time of initiation of laryngoscopy among patients who do not receive a sedative. The end of the procedure will be defined as the time of the final placement of an endotracheal tube within the trachea. from the first of induction or initiation of laryngoscopy to 2 minutes following tracheal intubation

Other Number of intubations with esophageal intubation Operator report of whether or not an esophageal intubation occurred from induction to 2 minutes following tracheal intubation
Other Number of intubations with operator-reported aspiration Operator report of whether or not an an aspiration event occurred from induction to 2 minutes following tracheal intubation

Primary Number of intubations with successful intubation on the first attempt The primary outcome is successful intubation on the first attempt. Successful intubation on the first attempt is defined as placement of an endotracheal tube in the trachea (confirmed by standard means including capnography) following: (1) a single insertion of a laryngoscope blade into the mouth and (2) EITHER a single insertion of a bougie into the mouth followed by a single insertion of an endotracheal tube into the mouth OR a single insertion of an endotracheal tube with stylet into the mouth. from induction to 2 minutes following tracheal intubation
