Study Overview
Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if performance of a channelled blade Astra-Vue videolaryngoscope compared to non channelled hyperangulated C-MAC D-blade videolaryngoscope(Karl Storz, Tuttlingen, Germany) in airway management among adults undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia. The main primary outcomes measured is the overall time taken to intubation, secondary measures includes the first attempt success rate, ease with intubation and associated complication
Participants are of adults who planned for elective or semi emergency surgery under general anesthesia. They will be screened and recruited with informed and written consent. Intubation information will be collected
Detailed Description
This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the performance of a channelled videolaryngoscope (AstraVue videolaryngoscope) with a non-channelled hyperangulated videolaryngoscope (C-MAC™ D-Blade videolaryngoscope, Karl Storz, Tuttlingen, Germany) in adult patients undergoing elective or semi-emergency surgery under general anaesthesia requiring endotracheal intubation.
Participants will be randomly assigned to intubation using either the channelled AstraVue videolaryngoscope or the non-channelled C-MAC D-Blade videolaryngoscope. Standard anaesthesia induction protocols will be followed.
The primary outcome is the total time to successful intubation. Secondary outcomes include time to glottic visualization, time from glottic visualization to intubation, first-attempt success rate, number of attempts, need for external laryngeal manipulation, haemodynamic responses, and intubation-related complications.
Data will be collected prospectively during the peri-intubation period. The study aims to evaluate whether the channelled design improves intubation efficiency and success compared to the non-channelled videolaryngoscope.
