About this study

This study is prospective randomized trial study. "O" type tracheal intubation tube is anatomically consistent and will able to increase the success rate of first intubation without any other external help.

Read the detailed description

This study is divided into two groups. : control vs. "O" shape endotracheal tube.

The investigator was studied 238 consecutive the American Society of Anesthesiologists' physical grades I and II adult patients scheduled to undergo general anesthesia requiring tracheal intubation for elective surgery. Exclusion criteria included a gross anatomical abnormality, before surgery of the head, neck and cervical spine, previously difficult tracheal intubation, loose teeth, or those requiring a rapid sequence or awake intubation, moderate or severe obstructive/restrictive pulmonary disease accompanied by pulmonary function tests. Anesthesia was induced with remifentanyl 3ng/kg, propopol 1-2 mg/kg or TIVA 2% fresopol 4ug/dL, remifentanyl 3ng/dL and rocuronium 0.8 mg/kg to facilitate tracheal intubation. Laryngoscopy was performed after the loss of the fourth twitch in the train-of-four in response to ulnar nerve stimulation. All laryngoscopies using a #4 Macintosh blade were performed with the patient placed in the sniffing position. Tracheal intubation was performed without assistance (ex. External laryngeal manipulation, Used stylet). A single experienced anesthesiologist, blinded to each group, performed all of the direct laryngoscopies and classified the laryngoscopic view according to the modified Cormack and Lehane grade, measured number of attempts, intubation time and blood pressure and heart rate before/ after intubation.

What is being measured

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

  1. First intubation success rate for each between two group

    First laryngoscope tries was success using detection of end tidal CO2

    Measured: Immediately after intubation

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. First intubation time

    After intubation, appearing end tidal CO2 at monitoring

    Measured: within 60 seconds

  2. Number of attempts

    Number of intubation try

    Measured: From the first tracheal intubation failure to the next successful tracheal intubation

  3. Measured vital sign

    Blood pressure in mmHg and heart rate in bpm were recorded immediately before and after intubation.

    Measured: immediately before intubation and within 5 minites after intubation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing group "O" in people with Endotracheal Intubation, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 6 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 20 Aug 2020. 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 South Korea. 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 Yu-Kyung Bae (+821057054801, vansuri27@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

First intubation success rate for each between two group (time frame: Immediately after intubation). 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 20 Aug 2020.
