Trial summary

The GlideScope® videolaryngoscope usually visualize glottis better than the conventional laryngoscope. Under the visualization of glottis by GlideScope®, the insertion of endotracheal tube, however, is challenging. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Stylet Angulation of Seventy Degrees Reduced Time to Intubation With the GlideScope®: A Prospective Randomized Trial

The GlideScope® videolaryngoscope usually visualize glottis better than the conventional laryngoscope. Under the visualization of glottis by GlideScope®, the insertion of endotracheal tube, however, is challenging.

The goal of this study was to determine which of two stylet (70° vs 90°) was better, as determined by time to intubation.

Being tested
Glidescope guided intubation, GlideScope®
Keywords

Study groups in NCT02547064
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
90 degreeActive comparatorThe ETT with the 90° angle stylet was bent at a point 8 cm from its distal end.
Receives: Procedure: Glidescope guided intubation; Device: GlideScope®
70 degreeExperimentalThe ETT was bent by 70° at a point 6 cm from its distal end and the proximal portion of the ETT was formed as the shape of the GL blade until the point of the handle.
Receives: Procedure: Glidescope guided intubation; Device: GlideScope®

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Time to Intubation

    Time from the insertion of the Glidescope blade to the measurement of end tidal CO2 (>30 mmHg)

    Measured: Intraoperative intubation

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Success Rate of Intubation

    The number of patients in which the intubation was successful at the first time.

    Measured: Intraoperative intubation

  2. Difficulty of Intubation Measured Using Visual Analogue Scale

    Difficulty of intubation will be measured using visual analogue scale (0:easiest, 100:most difficult).

    Measured: Intraoperative intubation

  3. Number of Participants for Whom External Laryngeal Manipulation Was Necessary

    External laryngeal manipulation is defined as the compression of neck for the facilitation of laryngeal view. Number of participants for whom external laryngeal manipulation was necessary will be measured.

    Measured: Intraoperative intubation

  4. Cormack-Lehan Grade

    The grade of Cormack-Lehan was assessed as I/II/III/IV (I: Full view of glottis, II: Partial view of glottis, III: Only epiglottis seen, none of glottis seen, IV: Neither glottis nor epiglottis seen). Grade I was considered better outcomes.

    Measured: Intraoperative intubation

  5. Mallampati Grade

    The Mallapati grade was assessed as I/II/III/IV (I: Soft palate, uvula, fauces, pillars visible, II: Soft palate, uvula, fauces visible, III: Soft palate, base of uvula visible, IV: Only hard palate visible). Grade I was considered better outcomes.

    Measured: Intraoperative anesthetic induction

  6. Thyromental Distance

    The thyromental distance was measured.

    Measured: Intraoperative anesthetic induction

  7. Postoperative Sore Throat Measured Using Visual Analogue Scale

    Postoperative sore throat will be measured using visual analogue scale (0:no pain, 100: worst pain imaginable)

    Measured: at 1, 24 hr postoperatively

  8. Mean Blood Pressure

    Mean blood pressure is measured before and 2 min after intubation.

    Measured: Intraoperative intubation

  9. Heart Rate

    Heart rates are measured before and 2 min after intubation.

    Measured: Intraoperative intubation

  10. Airway Injury

    Larynx injury is assessed.

    Measured: Intraoperative intubation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Glidescope guided intubation and GlideScope® in people with Cholecystitis and Stomach Cancer, run by Keimyung University Dongsan Medical Center.

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 1 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Jun 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 9 Jun 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Time to Intubation (time frame: Intraoperative intubation). 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 NCT02547064, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 9 Jun 2017.
