NCT ID: NCT04994652 Completed - Infant, Newborn Clinical Trials

Video- Or Direct Laryngoscopy for Endotracheal Intubation in Newborns

VODE
Start date: September 4, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Endotracheal intubation is a critical intervention for newborn babies. Laryngoscopy is the crucial part of endotracheal intubation. Traditionally, operators use a standard laryngoscope to view the larynx by looking directly into the mouth (direct laryngoscopy). More recently videolaryngoscopes that have a video camera mounted at the tip of the laryngoscope blade have been developed, Rather than look directly into the mouth, the operator looks at a screen that displays the view acquired by the camera (indirect laryngoscopy). Videolaryngoscopes have been demonstrated to be useful for teaching trainees direct laryngoscopy. However, it may be that all clinicians are more successful with a videolaryngoscope. The investigators will compare whether clinicians who are randomly assigned to intubate newborn infants using a videolaryngoscope are more successful in intubating newborn infants at the first attempt compared to clinicians who are randomly assigned to intubate newborn infants using a standard laryngoscope.

NCT ID: NCT03841890 Completed - Anesthesia, General Clinical Trials

The Clarus Video System and Direct Laryngoscope for Rapid Sequence Induction Intubation With Cricoid Pressure

Start date: November 4, 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

During an emergency endotracheal intubation, rapid sequence induction intubation with cricoid pressure is frequently implemented to prevent aspiration pneumonia. When properly applied, cricoid pressure may not affect glottic view during endotracheal intubation with either a direct laryngoscope or a video laryngoscope. However, the application of cricoid pressure is likely to prolong the intubation time. Limited mouth opening or vulnerable teeth, which often accompany the patients requiring emergency intubation, are the two common factors to deter the intubators from using a laryngoscopic device. Besides, the blade of a laryngoscopic device is often too bulky for a narrow mouth opening, and the blade always bears a level force on upper incisors while the intubator is lifting epiglottis during intubation, which is liable to tooth fracture. In this prospective randomized study, the investigators compare the use of the Clarus Video System and that of direct laryngoscope (Macintosh Laryngoscope) in patients undergoing endotracheal intubation in simulated rapid sequence induction intubation for the primary goals of the first attempt success rate and intubation time.

NCT ID: NCT02033564 Completed - Postoperative Care Clinical Trials

Incidence of Sore Throat With Traditional Intubation Blades or Glidescope Blade

Start date: June 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose in this study is to determine whether there is a difference in the incidence of postoperative sore throat when using the GlideScopeā„¢ versus a traditional intubation blade involving patients that are not anticipated to have a difficult airway.
