Official title: Establishing a Definitive Airway: A Comparison of Direct Laryngoscopy With Blind Intubation Via Intubating Laryngeal Tube Suction Disposable

Tracheal intubation is an important part of treatment for a trauma casualty. Tracheal intubation is usually achieved by a direct laryngoscope.It is an effective method but requires experience and skill demanding a long learning time.The use of the Laryngeal Tube Suction for fast control of the airway is known for many years. The Intubating Laryngeal Tube Suction is a new version of the Laryngeal Tube. The aim of this study is to examine the effectiveness of the the Intubating Laryngeal Tube Suction to achieve a definitive airway by unskilled practitioners in anesthetized patients with the head in neutral position (trauma model).

Read the detailed description

Control the airways and respiration are an important part of treatment for a trauma casualty. Tracheal intubation an action that allows the insertion of a tube through the vocal cords and fixation by the balloon inflation is a definitive airway.

Tracheal intubation is usually achieved by a direct laryngoscope. This method is taught both in the training of doctors and paramedics training. Although it is an effective method requires experience and skill demanding a long learning time The use of the Laryngeal Tube Suction for fast control of the airway is known for many years. The Laryngeal Tube Suction and others similar devices are known as Supraglottic Airway Devices and are inserted blind in the oropharynx and allow a fast oxygenation and ventilation of the patients.

The new generation of these devices allows perform blind intubation directly through a special channel. One of these devices is the Intubating Laryngeal Tube Suction

The aim of this study is to examine the effectiveness of the Intubating Laryngeal Tube Suction to achieve a definitive airway by unskilled practitioners in anesthetized patients with the head in neutral position (trauma model).

The hypothesis is that definitive airway obtaining with Intubating Laryngeal Tube Suction will be more success and faster compared to the standard way of direct laryngoscope. If the hypothesis is proven, this research will be very important implications for the management of the airway describing pre-hospital and in particular military scenarios.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Intubating Laryngeal Tube Suction and Direct Laryngoscopy in people with Adverse Anesthesia Outcome, run by Bnai Zion 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 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Feb 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Luis A Gaitini, M.D. (# 972 4 8359346, luis.gaitini@b-zion.org.il), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Blind tracheal intubation time measure in seconds (time frame: 30 seconds). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 1 Feb 2017.
