Learning Curve of Endobronchial Intubation Using Video Laryngoscopes

NCT04689269 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 42

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The use of video laryngoscopes for endobronchial intubation has its own potential benefits particularly in case of airway difficulty. It is not clear how many cases are required to show competency in successful endobronchial intubation using McGrath and King Vision video laryngoscopes in simulated "easy" and "difficult" airways by novices.

The here proposed randomized crossover clinical trial will test the learning curve of using each of McGrath and King Vision video laryngoscopes in simulated "easy" and "difficult" airways with respect to the number of intubation trials for successful endobronchial intubation

Conditions

  • Endobronchial Intubation

Interventions

OTHER

The simulated "easy" airway

A high-fidelity simulator (Airway Management Trainer, model AA-3100, Laerdal Medical Ltd., Orpington, England, UK) will be equipped to create an easy airway situation by adjusting the manikin until it becomes in a neutral position

OTHER

The simulated "difficult" airway

A high-fidelity simulator (Airway Management Trainer, model AA-3100, Laerdal Medical Ltd., Orpington, England, UK) will be equipped to create a "difficult" airway scenario will be established by placing the occiput on an Oasis Elite™ Prone Head Rest, Adult (140 mm in height) (Covidien, Mansfield, MA, USA), and inhibiting head and neck movement by securing the head with an adhesive tape, simulating the effect produced by a cervical-collar.
