Comparison of VieScope vs. Macintosh Laryngoscope for Intubation in Level Cpersonal Protective Equipment Conditions

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Projection; Infection; Tracheal Intubation
• Interventions: Device: The standard Macintosh laryngoscope; Device: The Vie Scope laryngoscope

• Registration Number: NCT04363775
• Lead Sponsor: Lazarski University

Brief Summary

The current COVID-19 pandemic, this is especially since the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 is thought to occur mainly through respiratory droplets generated by coughing and sneezing, by direct contact with contaminated surfaces and because in a large number of patients COVID-19 disease may be asymptomatic. As recommended by the CDC for aerosol-generating procedures (AGP), medical personnel should be equipped with full personal protective equipment (PPE) for AGP. Therefore, it is reasonable to search for the most effective methods of intubation in those conditions.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Regurgitation	The Vie Scope laryngoscope	intubation in regurgitation condition
Tongue edema	The standard Macintosh laryngoscope	intubation in Tongue edema condition
Regurgitation	The standard Macintosh laryngoscope	intubation in regurgitation condition
Tongue edema	The Vie Scope laryngoscope	intubation in Tongue edema condition

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
time to intubation	1 day	time from pick up device to the final placement tube in trachea

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
success of intubation	1 day	A failed intubation attempt was defined as an attempt in which the trachea was not intubated, or which required more than 120 seconds to perform
Number of optimalization maneuvers	1 day	the number of optimization maneuvers required (re-adjustment of head position, second assistant) to aid endotracheal intubation
Procedure Ease of use	1 day	self-reported percentage the vocal cord visualization. A 100% score is a extremely difficult procedure. A Ease of use score of 1% means that procedure is extremely easy
the degree of visibility of the glottis	1 day	The POGO score describes how much glottic opening is visible. A POGO score of 100% indicates visualization of the entire glottic opening from the anterior commissure of the vocal cords to the interarytenoid notch. A POGO score of 0% corresponds with no visualization of laryngeal structures.
Cormack - Lehane grade	1 day	self-reported percentage the vocal cord visualization using the Cormack-Lehane grading (grade 1-4)
