Pediatric Difficult Intubation

Not Applicable

• Conditions: Intubation; Cardiac Arrest
• Interventions: Device: Vividtrac; Device: MIL

• Registration Number: NCT02295670
• Lead Sponsor: International Institute of Rescue Research and Education

Brief Summary

Endotracheal intubation (ETI) is perceived as the optimal method of providing and maintaining a clear and secure airway. The 2010 European Resuscitation Council (ERC) guidelines emphasized the importance of minimal interruption during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). These guidelines also suggest that skilled operators should be able to secure the airway without interrupting chest compression. The aim of the study was to compare time and success rates of the Vividtrac video-laryngoscope and the Miller laryngoscope for emergency intubation during simulated pediatric CPR.

Group	Intervention	Description
Endotracheal intubation without chest compressions	Vividtrac	Endotracheal intubation of mannikin during resuscitation without chest compressions.

Endotracheal intubation with uninterrupted chest compressions	Vividtrac	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.).

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Time to intubation	1 day	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
Success of intubation	1 day	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.; Visual Analog scale (VAS) score
Cormack-Lehane grading	1 day	self-reported percentage the vocal cord visualization using the Cormack-Lehane grading (grade 1-4)
