Comparison Study of the McGrath MAC Video Laryngoscope With the King Vision

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Video Laryngoscopic Device Usage in Novice Users
Interventions
Procedure: McGrath MAC video laryngoscope
Procedure: King Vision video laryngoscope
Registration Number
NCT02316769
Lead Sponsor
Vanderbilt University Medical Center
Brief Summary

In this study, the investigators compare the effectiveness of two relatively new video laryngoscopes, McGrath MAC (Covidien, Dublin Ireland) and the King Vision (King Systems, Noblesville, IN), by practitioners experienced in airway management but with limited exposure to these two devices. Our hypothesis was that, the McGrath MAC device would require fewer intubation attempts and shorter intubation times than the King Vision when performed by novice users.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Intubation Success on First Attempt as Measured by End Tidal Carbon Dioxideparticipants were followed up to the point the video device is removed from the airway, classified as under 90 seconds.
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Time to IntubationIntubation time was initiated at the time of entry of the study device beyond the teeth/gum line and the intubation time was stopped when the study device was removed beyond the same point.

Number of patients intubated in less than 90 seconds
