Clinical Trial Summary

Although VLs improve glottic visualization, on many occasions it may not be accompanied by intubation at the first attempt, because the endotracheal tube has to pass a sharp angle to enter the trachea. To avoid this limitation, a new flexible tip bougie is designed to flexibly navigate the distal tip and help facilitate precise insertion of the endotracheal tube in the trachea. The flexible tip bougie has an integrated slider along the surface which moves the tip anterior and posterior while the pre-curved distal portion of shaft allows the angulation to provide anterior flexion. This new flexible tip bougie could be used as a rescue when first intubation failure using the videolaryngoscopy, or as a first option to improve the percentage of patients intubated at the first attempt.


Description:

The purpose of this prospective randomized study is to compare successful intubation on the first attempt with the new flexible tip bougie versus endotracheal tube with stylet during awake intubation with videolaryngoscopy in patients with anticipated difficult airway.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Difference in the first attempt intubation success rate (percentage) To compare the difference in the first attempt intubation success rate (percentage) with the two differents devices compared. During intubation
Secondary Difference in the overall intubation success rate (percentage) To compare the difference overall intubation success rate (percentage) with the two differents devices compared. During intubation
Secondary Difference in the incidence of complications (percentage) To compare the difference in complications (percentage) with the two different devices compared:
Hypoxemia (SpO2) < 90 %, Hypoxemia severe (SpO2) < 80 %, Hypotension defined as systolic blood pressure less than 80 mm Hg, Severe hypotension defined as systolic blood pressure less than 65 mm Hg, Cardiac arrest, death during intubation, Moderate or difficult intubation, oesophageal intubation, pulmonary aspiration, dental injuries.
Participants will be followed from the beginning of the intervention to 30 minutes after the intervention
Secondary Difficulty of intubation Operator-assessed subjective difficulty of intubation by means of a special analogue numerical scale from 0 to 10, where 0=no subjective difficulty and 10=maximal subjective difficulty During intubation
Secondary Modified Cormack-Lehane grade of glottic view Modified Cormack-Lehane grade of glottic view:
I: full view of the glottis IIa: partial view of the glottis IIb: arytenoid or posterior part of the vocal cords just visible III: only epiglottis visible IV: neither glottis nor epiglottis visible
During intubation
Secondary Additional airway equipment Need for additional airway equipment During intubation
Secondary Number of intubation attempts Number of intubation attempts During intubation
