Clinical Trial Summary

The placement of endotracheal tubes (intubation) is a physiologically stressful procedure for patients. Laryngoscopes are devices-typically composed of a blade attached to a handle with a light source—that allow examination of the upper airway through the mouth, often for the purposes of intubation. Recently some new laryngoscope devices (including the Airtraq® Optical Laryngoscope, the Storz DCI Video laryngoscope®, McGRATH® Video Laryngoscope, and the GlideScope®) have been developed, which may either decrease the stress related to intubation (reduce neck extension, reduce risk of complications or reduce time elapsed during intubation) or improve intubation success (reduce the number of attempts at intubating). Data are being collected in this study to determine which of these commonly-used devices may be better, particularly in comparison to the current hospital standard, the Macintosh laryngoscope. All of the devices to be used in this study are currently cleared or exempt by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Percentage distribution of Cook's modification of Cormack-Lehane's grading system. Each study subject will receive a grade of 1, 2A, 2B, 3A, 3B, or 4 in the Cormack-Lehane grading system. 1 time during laryngoscopy No
Secondary Intubation time: Measured from entry of the device into the oral cavity until confirmation of proper placement of tracheal tube, as judged by an exhaled tidal volume greater than 200ml and the presence of end-tidal carbon dioxide (CO2). 1 time during intubation No
Secondary Success rate: Number of attempts required for successful intubation by an attending anesthesiologist. 1 time during intubation No
Secondary Maximal neck extension: Using Atlanto-occipital joint extension scale. 1 time during laryngoscopy/intubation No
Secondary Ease of intubation: Judged by laryngoscopist on a 5-point rating scale: 5 is excellent, 1 is poor. 1 time, after intubation No
Secondary Complication Rate: All complications will be recorded, with special attention given to common complications, such as upper airway and dental trauma. continuous during study participation No
Secondary Inter-incisor distance: Maximal mouth opening necessary for intubation. 1 time during intubation No
Secondary Laryngoscopist's comments: Pertinent device-specific clinical comments. 1 time, after intubation No
Secondary Vitals signs (blood pressure, heart rate, mean arterial pressure, and pulse oximeter rate) pre-intubation No
