Endotracheal Intubation During Resuscitation

Not Applicable

• Conditions: Cardiac Arrest
• Interventions: Device: Bonfils; Device: Macintosh

• Registration Number: NCT02286323
• Lead Sponsor: International Institute of Rescue Research and Education

Brief Summary

We hypothesized that the BONFILS is beneficial for intubation of manikins while performing CPR. In the current study we compared the performance of the BONFILS and the Macintosh laryngoscopes with respect to their effectiveness and time to successful ETI during chest compression (CC) using an adult manikin.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Endotracheal intubation with uninterrupted chest compressions	Bonfils	Endotracheal intubation of mannikin during resuscitation with uninterrupted chest compressions. In order to simulate the difficulties associated with intubation during uninterrupted chest compressions, CPR was performed by using LUCAS-2 (Physio-Control, Redmond, WA, U.S.).
Endotracheal intubation with uninterrupted chest compressions	Macintosh	Endotracheal intubation of mannikin during resuscitation with uninterrupted chest compressions. In order to simulate the difficulties associated with intubation during uninterrupted chest compressions, CPR was performed by using LUCAS-2 (Physio-Control, Redmond, WA, U.S.).
Endotracheal intubation without chest compressions	Macintosh	Endotracheal intubation of mannikin during resuscitation without chest compressions.
Endotracheal intubation without chest compressions	Bonfils	Endotracheal intubation of mannikin during resuscitation without chest compressions.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Time to intubation	intraoperative	time from insertion of the blade to the first manual ventilation of the manikin´s lungs. If time of intubation is over than 60 seconds, attempt was recognized as failure.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
POGO score	1 day	self-reported percentage of glottis opening (POGO) score
Success of intubation	intraoperative	effectiveness of the first, second and third intubation attempts and overall effectiveness of intubation by participants using four intubation devices. If the examinee failed at all attempts, the case was excluded from the time calculations.
