Endotracheal IntubationNCT02395419
A Comparison of Tracheal Intubation Using the Totaltrack vs the Airtraq Laryngoscope in Routine Airway Management
A study testing Orotracheal intubation with Totaltrack and Orotracheal intubation with Airtraq in people with Endotracheal Intubation, run by Manuel Ángel Gómez-Ríos at 1 site in Spain.
Trial summary
Endotracheal intubation is usually required to allow unrestricted surgical approach. The Macintosh laryngoscope is the standard method. However in certain situations as difficult airway this technique is ineffective and poorly tolerated by the patient. Read more about this study

About this study
Endotracheal intubation is usually required to allow unrestricted surgical approach. The Macintosh laryngoscope is the standard method. However in certain situations as difficult airway this technique is ineffective and poorly tolerated by the patient. Fiberoptic intubation is the gold standard in this scenario, however sometimes it is not possible due to failure or unavailability, so alternatives are needed. The TotalTrack (MedComflow SA, Barcelona, Spain) and the Airtraq (Prodol Meditec, Vizcaya, España) been designed specifically for the airway management. However, despite their use in clinical practice, there are no comparative studies.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Endotracheal intubation is usually required to allow unrestricted surgical approach. The Macintosh laryngoscope is the standard method. However in certain situations as difficult airway this technique is ineffective and poorly tolerated by the patient. Fiberoptic intubation is the gold standard in this scenario, however sometimes it is not possible due to failure or unavailability, so alternatives are needed. The TotalTrack (MedComflow SA, Barcelona, Spain) and the Airtraq (Prodol Meditec, Vizcaya, España) been designed specifically for the airway management. However, despite their use in clinical practice, there are no comparative studies.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 11 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Oct 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Spain. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Manuel G Gómez-Ríos, MD (+34636909413, magoris@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Total time of successful intubation (time frame: Time of Orotracheal intubation (TOTI)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02395419, which also lists 3 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Oct 2016; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
