Comparison of Video Laryngoscope Using Miller or Macintosh Approach During

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Video laryngoscope has become recommended option during difficult intubation. Guidelines of ASA at 2013 had suggested using video laryngoscope after failure intubation of direct laryngoscope. Varieties of video laryngoscope had been invented with different curves. We call the one which has the same curve of Macintosh laryngoscope as conventional video laryngoscope in this study. Mostly, the way of using conventional video laryngoscope is suggested as Macintosh method. However, with the front positioning camera, Miller method can theoretically improve the glottic opening. We intend to discuss whether using Miller approach with conventional video laryngoscope can improve glottic opening or not.

Clinical Trial Description

Video scope can provide better glottic opening by increase the tilting angle of the tip, and the position of camera can provide larger vision angle. However, while the angle increases, the endotracheal tube must fallow the curve, which may require learning curve of the operator. In Glidescope as example, increase the tilting angle can help with glottic exposure, however the steep curve will simultaneously increase the difficulty of inserting the tube or using Magill forceps, especially while intubating double lumen or nasal endotracheal tube. Conventional video laryngoscope in this study indicates the video laryngoscope blade which has the same curve as Macintosh laryngoscope. It mainly improves the glottic view by front positioning camera. Anesthesiologist usually place the tip of the blade at vallecula to expose the glottic which is the conventional ways of using Macintosh blade which we name it as Macintosh method. Placing the tip below the epiglottis and lift it up directly is the way of using Miller blade. Theoretically, the Miller method with conventional video laryngoscope may improve the scale of glottic exposure measured with Cormack-Lehane grade. This is a one-group pretest-posttest study to compare the Cormack-Lehane grade with two different methods in the same patient. This study tends to discuss whether this combination can improve the glottic exposure and preserve the advantage of direct laryngoscope. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
