Is HugeMed Video Laryngoscope Superior to McGrath in Pediatric Patients

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Difficult Intubation

• Registration Number: NCT06484517
• Lead Sponsor: Marmara University

Brief Summary

Videolaryngoscopes improve laryngeal visualization in children under 3 years. In this study we aimed to compare Hugemed and McGrath videolaryngoscopes regarding their Cormach-Lehane (CL) and percentage of glottic opening (POGO) scores. Furthermore, tracheal intubation success rates, need for cricoid pressure and optimization maneuvers, and hemodynamic changes are compared.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Success of intubation	Procedure (At the time of the intubation of the patient.)	Number of attempts of the intubation.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Percentage of glottis opening (POGO)	Procedure (At the time of the intubation of the patient.)	The primary aim of this study was to compare the percentage of glottis opening (POGO, 0-100%) scores in direct and indirect laryngoscopy performed with HugeMed and McGrath video laryngoscopes in pediatric patients.
Need for optimization maneuvers	Procedure (At the time of the intubation of the patient.)	Whether there are any optimization maneuvers by an assistant.
Degree of hemodynamic changes	Procedure (At the time of the intubation of the patient.)	Whether there are any acute changes in the patient heart rate during the intubation.
blood pressure	Procedure (At the time of the intubation of the patient.)	Whether there are any acute changes in the patient blood pressure during the intubation.
Success of intubation	Procedure (At the time of the intubation of the patient.)	Number of attempts of the intubation.
