简要总结
Clinicians perform rapid sequence induction, laryngoscopy, and tracheal intubation for more than 5 million critically ill adults as a part of clinical care each year in the United States. Failure to intubate the trachea on the first attempt occurs in more than 10% of all tracheal intubation procedures performed in the emergency department (ED) and intensive care unit (ICU). Improving clinicians rate of intubation on the first attempt could reduce the risk of serious procedural complications.
In current clinical practice, two classes of laryngoscopes are commonly used to help clinicians view the larynx while intubating the trachea: a video laryngoscope (equipped with a camera and a video screen) and a direct laryngoscope (not equipped with a camera or video screen). For nearly all laryngoscopy and intubation procedures performed in current clinical practice, clinicians use either a video or a direct laryngoscope. Prior research has shown that use of a video laryngoscope improves the operator's view of the larynx compared to a direct laryngoscope. Whether use of a video laryngoscope increases the likelihood of successful intubation on the first attempt remains uncertain. A better understanding of the comparative effectiveness of these two common, standard-of-care approaches to laryngoscopy and intubation could improve the care clinicians deliver and patient outcomes.
详细描述
Clinicians frequently perform tracheal intubation of critically ill patients in the emergency department (ED) or intensive care unit (ICU). In 10-20% of emergency tracheal intubations, clinicians are unable to intubate the trachea on the first attempt, which increases the risk of peri-intubation complications. Successful laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation requires using a laryngoscope to [1] visualize the larynx and vocal cords and [2] create a pathway through which an endotracheal tube can be advanced through the oropharynx and larynx and into the trachea.
In current clinical practice, two classes of laryngoscopes are commonly used by clinicians to view the larynx while intubating the trachea: a video laryngoscope (equipped with a camera and a video screen) and a direct laryngoscope (not equipped with a camera or video screen). Clinicians use either a video laryngoscope or a direct laryngoscope as standard of care for every laryngoscopy and intubation procedure performed in current clinical practice.
Direct Laryngoscope: The Macintosh direct laryngoscope consists of a battery-containing handle and a blade with a light source. The operator achieves a direct line of sight -from the operator's eye through the mouth to the larynx and trachea - by using the laryngoscope blade to displace the tongue and elevate the epiglottis.
Video Laryngoscope: Video laryngoscopes consist of a fiberoptic camera and light source near the tip of the laryngoscope blade, which transmits images to a video screen. The position of the camera near the tip of the laryngoscope blade facilitates visualization of the larynx and trachea.
Use of a video laryngoscope and use of a direct laryngoscope are both common, standard-of-care approaches the clinicians use to perform tracheal intubation in the ED and ICU in current clinical care.

结局指标
主要结局
Number of Intubations With Successful Intubation on the First Attempt
时间窗: Duration of procedure (minutes)
The primary outcome is defined as placement of an endotracheal tube in the trachea with a single insertion of a laryngoscope blade into the mouth and EITHER a single insertion of an endotracheal tube into the mouth OR a single insertion of a bougie into the mouth followed by a single insertion of an endotracheal tube over the bougie into the mouth.
次要结局
- Number of Participants With Severe Complications of Tracheal Intubation(from induction to 2 minutes following tracheal intubation)
