Intubation During Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Endotracheal Intubation
• Interventions: Device: Macintosh laryngoscope; Device: TruView EVO2 laryngoscope; Device: TruView EVO2 PCD laryngoscope; Device: ETView SL

• Registration Number: NCT02804451
• Lead Sponsor: Medical University of Warsaw

Brief Summary

The aim of the study was to compare the intubation time and effectiveness, the grade of larynx visibility, and the ease of intubation in adults performed by nurses using 4 devices: a Macintosh blade laryngoscope (MAC), and a TruView EVO2 (EVO2), TruView EVO2 PCD (PCD), and ETView SL (ETView) laryngoscope, in simulated CPR settings with and without CC.
