Macintosh Versus Macgrath for Laryngoscopy in COVID 19 Hypoxemic ICU Patients

• Conditions: COVID-19 Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
• Interventions: Device: Mac Grath; Device: Macintosh

• Registration Number: NCT04956913
• Lead Sponsor: Mongi Slim Hospital

Brief Summary

In this comparative prospective study, we aim to compare the classic Macintosh laryngoscope and the Mac Grath videolaryncoscope in ICU covid 19 patients recruiting intubation and invasive mechanical ventilation.

patients meeting inclusion criteria were randomized in 2 groups: MacGrath and Macintosh.

we collected anthropometric and intubation data among all patients, and the 2 groups were compared regarding the time for intubation, the need of alternative techniques to intubate and the impact on the oxygenation by recording the lowest SPO2.

Detailed Description

In this comparative prospective study, we aim to compare the classic Macintosh laryngoscope and the Mac Grath videolaryncoscope in ICU covid 19 patients recruiting intubation and invasive mechanical ventilation.

All hypoxemic COVID19 patients requiring intubation were enrolled in this trial.

all patients had a preoxygenation with non invasive ventilation with 100% oxygen.

patients meeting inclusion criteria were randomized in 2 groups: MacGrath and Macintosh.

we collected anthropometric and intubation data among all patients, and the 2 groups were compared regarding the time for intubation, the need of alternative techniques to intubate and the impact on the oxygenation by recording the lowest SPO2.
