Trial summary

Tracheal intubation in critical care is a high-risk procedure requiring significant expertise and airway strategy modifications, such as awake intubation with video laryngoscope or flexible endoscope intubation. Furthermore, delayed sequence intubation can be used by experts in certain high-risk subgroups. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Awake Tracheal Intubation is Associated With Fewer Adverse Events in Critical Care Patients Than Standard Tracheal Intubation

Tracheal intubation in critical care is a high-risk procedure requiring significant expertise and airway strategy modifications, such as awake intubation with video laryngoscope or flexible endoscope intubation. Furthermore, delayed sequence intubation can be used by experts in certain high-risk subgroups. The investigators hypothesise that awake tracheal intubation is associated with a lower incidence of severe adverse events than standard tracheal intubation in critical care patients.

Read the detailed description

Intubation records from 2020 to 2022 were acquired to examine all tracheal intubations of critical care patients at a tertiary hospital. Each awake tracheal intubation (awake) case - all of which were performed using a videolaryngoscope with a hyperangulated blade - was propensity matched with two controls (1:2 ratio; standard intubation videolaryngoscopy (VL) and direct laryngoscopy (DL) undergoing general anaesthesia), with similar comorbidities and intubations performed after the induction of anaesthesia (asleep).

Being tested
tracheal intubation using videolaryngoscope with a hyperangulated blade or standard intubation videolaryngoscopy (VL) and direct laryngoscopy (DL)

What is being measured

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

  1. Hypotension

    defined as a mean arterial pressure < 55 mmHg

    Measured: during intubation procedure (within 30 Minutes)

  2. cardiac arrest

    defined as a peri-interventional cardiac arrest

    Measured: during intubation procedure (within 30 Minutes)

  3. desaturation

    defined as SpO2 < 80% after sufficient preoxygenation

    Measured: during intubation procedure (within 30 Minutes)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Cormack and Lehane classification (Class I-IV)

    glottis visualisation

    Measured: during intubation procedure (< 120 seconds)

  2. FPS

    First Pass Intubation success

    Measured: during intubation procedure (< 120 seconds)

  3. Airway Injury

    dental injury

    Measured: during intubation procedure (< 120 seconds)

  4. other adverse events

    soft tissue injury

    Measured: during intubation procedure (< 120 seconds)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Videolaryngoscopy and Intensive Care Unit Syndrome, 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 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 6 Apr 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 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?

Hypotension (time frame: during intubation procedure (within 30 Minutes)). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 6 Apr 2023.
