Bougies as Aid for Endotracheal Intubation Via Video Laryngoscopy During Continuous Chest Compressions

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Endotracheal Intubation

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
Interventions
Device: Preloaded bougie
Device: Stylet
Device: Railroaded bougie
Registration Number
NCT05689125
Lead Sponsor
Peking Union Medical College Hospital
Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trials is to analyze the effects of using bougies as adjuncts on the performance of endotracheal intubation via video laryngoscopy during cardiopulmonary resuscitation in anesthesia residents. The main question it aims to answer is whether bougie use has a significant effect on first-attempt failure of endotracheal intubation via video laryngoscopy during continuous chest compressions. Participants will perform endotracheal intubation via video laryngoscopy by four methods in a randomized order in a simulated cardiopulmonary resuscitation scenario on a manikin. The four methods are endotracheal intubations assisted by a railroaded bougie, assisted by a preloaded bougie, assisted by a stylet, and with no assistance. Researchers will compare the first-attempt failure rate of the four methods to see if a railroaded bougie method has a significant different first-attempt failure from that of the other three methods.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Failure on the first attemptAt the completion of the intubation

An attempt is terminated and defined as a failure when a resident tries for one minute but is still unable to start ventilation, or when a resident feels unable to succeed and decides to give up, or when a resident withdraws a laryngoscope blade, a bougie, or a tube out of the month after the initial insertion. This outcome will be measured based on videos of endotracheal intubation procedures recorded by a camera placed on the right side of the manikin.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Overall intubation durationAt the completion of the intubation

Duration of the first attempt if it succeeds or the sum of the duration of both attempts if the first attempt fails. This outcome will be measured based on videos of endotracheal intubation procedures recorded by a camera placed on the right side of the manikin.

Failure on two attemptsAt the completion of the intubation

If the first attempt of a method fails, the resident will be given a second opportunity of the same method. This outcome will be measured based on videos of endotracheal intubation procedures recorded by a camera placed on the right side of the manikin.

Duration of the first attemptAt the completion of the intubation

The time elapsed between the insertion of a laryngoscope blade into the month and either the start of ventilation in a successful attempt or the termination of a failed attempt. This outcome will be measured based on videos of endotracheal intubation procedures recorded by a camera placed on the right side of the manikin.

Self-reported intubation difficultyAt the completion of the intubation

0-10 ranking scale with 0 representing "the easiest" and 10 "the most difficult" rated by the residents.
