About this study

Official title: Bougies as Aid for Endotracheal Intubation Via Video Laryngoscopy During Continuous Chest Compressions by Anesthesia Residents: a Randomized Crossover Simulation Trial

The goal of this clinical trials is to analyze the effects of using bougies as adjuncts on the performance of endotracheal intubation via video laryngoscopy during cardiopulmonary resuscitation in anesthesia residents. The main question it aims to answer is whether bougie use has a significant effect on first-attempt failure of endotracheal intubation via video laryngoscopy during continuous chest compressions. Participants will perform endotracheal intubation via video laryngoscopy by four methods in a randomized order in a simulated cardiopulmonary resuscitation scenario on a manikin. The four methods are endotracheal intubations assisted by a railroaded bougie, assisted by a preloaded bougie, assisted by a stylet, and with no assistance. Researchers will compare the first-attempt failure rate of the four methods to see if a railroaded bougie method has a significant different first-attempt failure from that of the other three methods.

Being tested
Railroaded bougie, Preloaded bougie, Stylet

What participants receive

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

  • Railroaded bougieDevice

    Residents expose the glottis by a video laryngoscope and place the tip of bougie through the vocal cords. Then, an assistant loads an endotracheal tube on the free end of the bougie. Residents advance the endotracheal tube over the bougie and withdraw the bougie.

  • Preloaded bougieDevice

    Residents expose the glottis by a video laryngoscope and perform the endotracheal intubation using a bougie with a preloaded endotracheal tube while an assistant secures the free end of the bougie. Residents withdraw the bougie when the endotracheal tube reaches an appropriate depth.

  • StyletDevice

    Residents expose the glottis by a video laryngoscope and perform the endotracheal intubation with the assistance of a stylet. An assistant withdraws the stylet when the tip of the endotracheal tube passes through the vocal cords. Then residents place the endotracheal tube to an appropriate depth.

What is being measured

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

  1. Failure on the first attempt

    An attempt is terminated and defined as a failure when a resident tries for one minute but is still unable to start ventilation, or when a resident feels unable to succeed and decides to give up, or when a resident withdraws a laryngoscope blade, a bougie, or a tube out of the month after the initial insertion. This outcome will be measured based on videos of endotracheal intubation procedures recorded by a camera placed on the right side of the manikin.

    Measured: At the completion of the intubation

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Failure on two attempts

    If the first attempt of a method fails, the resident will be given a second opportunity of the same method. This outcome will be measured based on videos of endotracheal intubation procedures recorded by a camera placed on the right side of the manikin.

    Measured: At the completion of the intubation

  2. Duration of the first attempt

    The time elapsed between the insertion of a laryngoscope blade into the month and either the start of ventilation in a successful attempt or the termination of a failed attempt. This outcome will be measured based on videos of endotracheal intubation procedures recorded by a camera placed on the right side of the manikin.

    Measured: At the completion of the intubation

  3. Overall intubation duration

    Duration of the first attempt if it succeeds or the sum of the duration of both attempts if the first attempt fails. This outcome will be measured based on videos of endotracheal intubation procedures recorded by a camera placed on the right side of the manikin.

    Measured: At the completion of the intubation

  4. Self-reported intubation difficulty

    0-10 ranking scale with 0 representing "the easiest" and 10 "the most difficult" rated by the residents.

    Measured: At the completion of the intubation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Railroaded bougie, Preloaded bougie and Stylet in people with Endotracheal Intubation and Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, run by Peking Union Medical College Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 1 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 13 Jun 2023. 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 China. 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?

Failure on the first attempt (time frame: At the completion of the 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 NCT05689125, 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 13 Jun 2023.
