Comparison of Videolaryngoscopy and Direct Laryngoscopy in Pediatric Airway Management

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Videolaryngoscopy; Airway Management
• Interventions: Device: direct laryngoscopy; Device: King Vision aBlade

• Registration Number: NCT03571295
• Lead Sponsor: Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz

Brief Summary

The investigators intended to evaluate first success rate and learning curve of trainee anesthetists performing direct and videolaryngoscopy in pediatric airway management.

Detailed Description

After obtaining written informed consent of 10 trainee anesthetists with non less than 24 months and not exceeding 60 months residency, use of the King Vision aBlade videolaryngoscope was demonstrated by presenting a 2 min instruction video. First endotracheal intubation by each trainee anesthetist was randomly allocated to either direct (DL) or King Vision aBlade videolaryngoscopy (KingVL). Then order of laryngoscopy type was alternating at least each trainee anesthetists performed 10 DL and 10 KingVL endotracheal intubations.
