A Comparison of Nasal Versus Oral Fiberoptic Intubation in Children

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

There are two routes in which a fiberoptic intubation can be performed - oral and nasal. In general, nasal intubation by any conventional method may be the preferred choice for certain procedures such as intra-oral surgeries, or for anatomical reasons such as limited mouth opening. If nasal intubation is not indicated or preferred, then oral intubation is usually performed.

This study is looking to explore whether or not the nasal route significantly improves the ease and time for successful fiberoptic intubation compared to the oral route in children less than or equal to 2 years of age. This study will also examine if operator experience influence time to tracheal intubation with either route?

The investigators hypothesize that the nasal route of fiberoptic intubation will be faster than the oral route, for both the trainee and the expert, and that there will be minimal differences between experts and trainees with nasal fiberoptic intubation.

Clinical Trial Description

The goal of this prospective randomized study is to compare the effect of nasal fiberoptic intubation versus oral fiberoptic intubation in children less than 2 years of age. Other factors that will be assesed include operator experience, the ease and time for fiberoptic grade of laryngeal view, time for fiberoptic tracheal intubation, and complications.

This study is looking to explore whether or not the nasal route significantly improves the ease and time for successful fiberoptic intubation compared to the oral route in children less than or equal to 2 years of age. While also asking, will operator experience influence time to tracheal intubation with either route?

The investigators hypothesize that the nasal route fiberoptic intubation will be faster than the oral route, for both the trainee and the expert, and that there will be minimal differences between experts and trainees with nasal fiberoptic intubation. ;

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.
