About this study

Official title: Influenced the Type of Laryngoscopy the Intraoperative Nerve Monitoring During Thyroid Surgery; a Controlled, Randomized Study (LiON-Study)

A randomized controlled prospective study of laryngoscopy and evaluation of the Intraoperative nerve monitoring during thyroid surgery comparing direct laryngoscopy and the C-MAC videolaryngoscope.

Read the detailed description

Intraoperative nerve monitoring (IONM) is used in addition to the visual the nerve in thyroid surgery. Here, the IONM can be done by placing electrodes on an endotracheal tube. In order to guarantee a sufficient signal quality of the IONM, the electrode must be adequately positioned on the glottis. The present study pursued the question of whether the conventional direct laryngoscopy compared with video laryngoscopy allows a visually adequate tube placement.

Being tested

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • CMAC VideolaryngoscopeDevice

    In a randomised order we evaluate the quality of the IONM after securing the airway with the CMAC

  • Macintosh LaryngoscopeDevice

    In a randomised order we evaluate the quality of the IONM after securing the airway with the conventional Macintosh Laryngoscope

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluation of the quality of the IONM during thyroid surgery

    Evaluation of intraoperative loss of the EMG-Signal (Quality character of the IONM)

    Measured: Quality IONM; intraoperative 1-3 hours

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. intubation success

    successful tracheal intubation at the first attempt, compared to more than one attempt

    Measured: at intubation; < 120 Seconds

  2. Cormack and Lehane Classification

    airway visualization during intubation process

    Measured: during the laryngoscopy; < 120 Seconds

  3. Percentage of glottic opening

    airway visualization during intubation process

    Measured: during the laryngoscopy; < 120 Seconds

  4. IDS (intubation difficult score)

    Summation of specific characters during the tracheal intubation

    Measured: < 120 Seconds

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CMAC Videolaryngoscope and Macintosh Laryngoscope in people with Thyroid and Airway Morbidity, run by Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz at 1 site in Germany.

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 4 inclusion and 9 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 17 May 2022. 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 Germany. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Evaluation of the quality of the IONM during thyroid surgery (time frame: Quality IONM; intraoperative 1-3 hours). 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 17 May 2022.
