About this study

Fiberoptic intubation is an important method for anesthesiologists to deal with difficult airways, but its operation is difficult and requires repeated practice. Fiberoptic intubation is performed in two steps. First, the anesthesiologist holds the bronchoscope and exposes the base of the tongue, the epiglottis, and the glottis successively according to the front camera of the bronchoscope. Through the glottis, the main trachea is exposed to the carina. This process is visual and the anesthesiologist can see the main tissue structure directly. Then, the endotracheal catheter enters the endotracheal along the bronchoscope, and the process of endotracheal catheter entry is not visual.

In clinical work, it was found that the tracheal catheter was easily blocked when it passed through the glottis, and it was necessary to adjust the position of the tracheal catheter for several times before the tracheal catheter could be sent into the tracheal tube, which was easy to cause throat injury in the process. At present, relevant studies are mainly focused on the first step of bronchoscopic intubation, how to quickly expose the glottis and complete the bronchoscopic guidance process. However, there is no clear mention of the situation of catatoning in the process of endotracheal catheter and how to solve the problem of catatoning.

What is being measured

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

  1. Fiberoptic intubation attempts

    This is used to observe the passage of the tracheal tube through the glottis

    Measured: during the procedure

  2. First intubation success rate

    The incidence of tracheal tube through the vocal cords

    Measured: during the procedure

  3. Fiberoptic intubation time

    The duration of the intubation process

    Measured: during the procedure

  4. Time of passage of tracheal intubation through glottis

    The time the tracheal tube enters the trachea

    Measured: during the procedure

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Hoarseness after surgery

    Patients were asked about voice changes 24 hours after surgery

    Measured: 24 hours after surgery

  2. Sore throat

    Patients were asked about throat pain 24 hours after surgery

    Measured: 24 hours after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Intubation Times, run by Qinye Shi.

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 3 inclusion and 4 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Nov 2024. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact qinye shi doctor, MD (8618367915826, 980276903@qq.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Fiberoptic intubation attempts (time frame: during the procedure). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT06709118, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 29 Nov 2024.
